About 9fin

The world's largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data.

Technology has revolutionized equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos and instantaneous news. However, in debt capital markets, the picture is completely different. It still behaves like it’s in the 1980s; trillions of dollars of trades are placed over the phone, news is slow, and corporate credit information is imperfect and scattered.

Our mission is to change this.

9fin's proprietary technology delivers fast and comprehensive financial, credit, legal & ESG analysis. Our clients are able to make faster, more informed decisions, win more business and most importantly, save time.

Our fast growing list of clients include 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Law Firms.

What you’ll work on

As 9fin’s first dedicated functional analytics hire you will partner across Finance, GTM (Sales + Sales Ops), Marketing and Operations. Working closely with 2 product analysts and 3 analytics engineers, you will turn CRM, finance and marketing data into decision-grade insights that move revenue, retention and unit economics metrics.

  • Design & own core datasets (dbt → BigQuery). Author and maintain dbt models, tests, docs and macros that produce production tables for accounts, opportunities, bookings, revenue recognition, customer events and marketing touchpoints.

  • Commercial performance & forecasting. Lead the development of commercial reports and analyses such as: bookings vs. pipeline reporting, quota attainment, ARR/MRR/NRR rollups, cohort retention, churn drivers, renewal/expansion analysis and short-term forecasting used in leadership reviews.

  • Acquisition & LTV analytics. Lead the expansion of our marketing and acquisition analyses including channel attribution, CAC, funnel conversion, cohort LTV and payback models.

  • Operational enablement & automation. Lead discovery with operational teams to define acceptance criteria and ROI. Develop alerts, workflows and self-serve tools that reduce manual effort, improve SLA attainment and surface leading indicators for operational action.

  • Dashboards and reporting. Design and ship executive and operational dashboards in Omni, create self-serve views, alerts and operational reports used by Sales, Finance and Marketing teams.

  • Metric governance & QA. Define and surface core business metrics (ARR, NRR, churn, LTV, CAC), and own the semantic layer so that stakeholders trust the numbers.

  • Ad-hoc, high-impact analysis. Rapidly investigate pricing, segmentation, funnel leaks, win/loss, and experiment outcomes; translate results into clear operational recommendations.

  • Enablement & documentation. Create playbooks, present findings to senior stakeholders, run training sessions as required

About You

You are a hands-on, senior individual contributor who prefers doing the work end-to-end from discovery to production and thrives on turning complex commercial problems into reliable data products.

  • Extensive experience in an analytical role supporting Sales, Finance, Marketing or GTM teams. Ideally in a B2B SaaS environment

  • dbt & BigQuery: commercial experience developing DBT models on top of a modern data warehouse such as BigQuery or Snowflake

  • Expert SQL: advanced query design, optimisation, and building reusable analytical datasets.

  • Modern BI: hands-on experience with a modern BI platform with integrated semantic layer (e.g Omni, Looker, Thoughtspot)

  • Python for analysis: practical experience with pandas/numpy and notebook-based workflows for LTV, attribution, simulations and experimentation analysis.

  • Domain expertise: deep, practical knowledge in one or more of the following functions & platforms: CRM (e.g. SalesForce), marketing (e.g. Hubspot), Finance, Sales

  • Metric design & governance: owns semantic models and definitions that govern a single source of truth for core business metrics such as ARR/NRR/churn/LTV/CAC. Bonus points if you have implemented tests or validation to ensure those metrics can be trusted across all teams.

  • Strong communicator: can translate complex analysis into concise narratives for executives and operators and drive decisions through structured storytelling.

  • Bias for impact: prioritises work that improves forecast accuracy, reduces CAC, drives retention, or materially accelerates time-to-insight.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
