Company mission
To provide insight into the world’s companies.
Role
Who you are
- 2–4 years of relevant professional experience and strong knowledge of private credit, leveraged finance, M&A, private equity, restructuring, or a related field
- Experience sourcing market intelligence - in journalism, research, origination, investor relations or a related field
- A background in covering deals in private credit, distressed debt/restructuring, high-yield bond and leveraged loan offerings is preferred but not necessarily essential
- Skilled at cultivating senior-level sources and handling off-record, background-only conversations
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, both in-person and remotely
- High attention to detail and ability to work quickly without sacrificing accuracy
- Comfortable operating independently as part of a fast-moving, entrepreneurial team
What the job involves
- We are expanding our Intelligence Origination team into Credit. This team is responsible for sourcing proprietary, transaction-level credit intelligence across live and announced private equity-related transactions. Unlike traditional newsrooms, our model is data-first, capturing structured intelligence rather than producing news stories
- You will play a pivotal role in expanding our real-time credit intelligence coverage. The focus is on the completeness, accuracy and speed of data capture - not editorial output. Your mission is to cultivate a trusted network of off-record sources, including lenders, investment bankers, private equity sponsors, advisors, consultants and lawyers, to uncover proprietary market intelligence
- The insights you gather will be transformed into clean, machine-readable data that powers our platform and forms the backbone of our clients' origination and transaction analysis workflows
- You'll speak with market participants on a background-only basis, surfacing intelligence that rarely enters the public domain. Working closely with our analysts and research teams, you'll help convert raw market insight into structured, scalable data that fuels client workflows and supports better investment decisions
- Build and maintain a network of sources - including lenders, investment bankers, sponsors, advisors and lawyers
- Conduct daily off-record, high-trust conversations to surface non-public credit intelligence
- Ensure high-quality sourcing of proprietary datapoints that feed directly into the Gain platform
- Collaborate closely with our in-house analysts and research teams to ensure data completeness, consistency and structured format
- Support the expansion of our real-time transaction tracker and contribute to internal market intelligence sharing

Our take
Private market visibility isn’t easy to come by. With the year over year growth in sectors like VC investment, and growing uncertainty in the markets, the insights it yields are becoming increasingly valuable. Gain is looking to corner this market niche, with its platform that aims to provide faster and more accurate insights into private companies.
The platform offers a spread of search and source capabilities for private companies that includes comprehensive financials, automated searches and updates, and data visualisation. Whilst other companies are offering a similar service for high-growth UK companies, Gain’s private and global market focus takes this successful model and applies it to a particularly lucrative area.
Gain is seeing good results, too. It’s secured a spread of blue-chip clientele including Bain, McKinsey, Rothschild, and Perella Weinberg, demonstrating a strong product with high growth potential. Plus, with plenty of funding under its belt, it’s on solid footing to find future success.
