Distressed Debt Reporter - 3-6 month Internship

9fin is the AI platform powering global debt markets — the world’s largest asset class at over $145 trillion.

Debt markets are vast, global, and mission-critical, yet still run on fragmented data, PDFs, and manual workflows. 9fin replaces this broken infrastructure with a single platform that centralises proprietary credit data, deep analysis, and high-value workflows across global markets.

Today, 9fin powers teams at 300+ blue-chip institutions worldwide, including global banks, asset managers, private equity firms, law firms, and advisors. The business is scaling at exceptional speed, with rapid expansion in the US and best-in-class retention driven by deep workflow adoption.

We’re at a defining inflection point. With proven product-market fit and strong, global market pull, 9fin is accelerating toward becoming the category-defining platform for debt markets worldwide.

Every day is different, but here's an example of the kind of things you'll work on:

• Cover active distressed credit situations and bankruptcy cases across the US leveraged finance market, producing timely and well-sourced news and analysis for 9fin's platform

• Build and maintain a source network among restructuring lawyers, advisors, buyside investors, and other market participants

• Write breaking news, analytical pieces, and longer-form features on liability management transactions, Chapter 11 filings, and out-of-court restructurings

• Collaborate with analysts and legal staff to produce data-driven content tracking capital structures, recovery scenarios, and market trends in distressed credit

• Contribute to 9fin's Default Notice newsletter and other recurring editorial products

• Develop expertise in a specific sector or issuer coverage area within the distressed universe over the course of the programme

This role will be a great fit if you:

• Have some prior experience in financial journalism, leveraged finance, restructuring, or a related field — this is an entry-level programme designed to develop talent

• Are a natural storyteller with strong written communication skills and the ability to explain complex financial situations clearly

• Are curious, persistent, and comfortable approaching sources and building relationships in a competitive information environment

• Have an interest in — or ideally some familiarity with — distressed credit, bankruptcy law, or leveraged finance

• Are based in New York and able to work in a hybrid environment
