Company mission
To help leveraged finance professionals win business, outperform their peers, and save time.
Role
Who you are
- You are an experienced Product Manager. First and foremost we’re looking for great Senior Product Manager who is focused on understanding and articulating complicated user problems
- Bonus if you have experience building products for the financial markets, or perhaps you’ve worked on a product that is used to control users’ access. If you have built products for a similar user base to 9fin, worked on products that help control users access to information, or started your career in the financial industry before moving into Product Management, that would be a real plus
- You're analytical & strategic thinker. You’re able to think on your feet and tackle intellectually challenging problems, and accustomed to using complex data to make decisions. You can define a product strategy that leverages technology to solve a genuine customer problem, ensuring the team is always focused on building a valuable product
- You’re a strong collaborator & communicator. You have an empathetic leadership style and build strong, effective relationships. You're skilled at managing expectations and can effectively communicate complex concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences, distilling complex solutions into bite-sized pieces when speaking and writing
- You work in an AI-native way. You use generative AI tools as a natural part of how you work: prototyping ideas, conducting research, reviewing PRDs, and building agents or automated workflows to extend your own productivity. You are comfortable using assistants to get things done faster and are genuinely excited about what this shift means for how product work gets done. We expect our PMs to be at the frontier of how AI accelerates product development
- You like working in a fast-paced environment. You are forward-thinking and ambitious, with a proven ability to quickly get up to speed in a domain, identify trends and opportunities, and can adapt to an environment where things change quickly
- If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be who we’re looking for — either for this role, or perhaps another
What the job involves
- Join 9fin's fast-growing Data, Design, Product & Engineering organisation, fresh off a $50M Series B funding round. We're building a world-class product team that's set to lead the market
- With ten product squads already established and plans for further growth, we are looking for an additional Senior Product Manager to lead one of our core teams based in London, as we continue to create a world-class product organisation
- This is a great opportunity to shape the future of a product and a company that's using tech to revolutionise the trillion-dollar debt capital market
- Strategy: Collaboratively create and champion a clear product vision and strategy for the Permissions team
- Problem definition & structured thinking: Synthesise insights from various sources to craft a clear problem statement, articulating the root cause in a structured way
- Discovery: Use a range of techniques to identify and understand what users need and their workflows
- Impact driven: Align the team around a key outcome and effectively prioritise initiatives across multiple dimensions
- Measuring success: Proactively identify and track metrics to measure client and business benefit. Work with the team to define and manage a process for continuous model evaluation and improvement
- Team success: Create a collaborative environment for your squad, providing wider context and clear goals so everyone can do their best work
- Communication: Ensure all people involved are aware of the team's strategy, initiatives, and progress. You must be able to effectively communicate complex financial concepts to technical audiences and similarly communicate tech concepts to non-technical audiences
- Influence: Build strong relationships to empower the squad to achieve the desired outcome, often by influencing stakeholders outside of your team
- Stakeholder management: Work closely with stakeholders, like our credit team, to gather the right input and insights. You’ll need to be able to listen carefully & bring people on a journey
Salary benchmarks
Our take
9fin’s initial aim was to solve the problem of extracting data out of financial documents. It quickly turned to AI, where computer vision tools can be deployed to find key financial data point quickly and automatically.
Its AI tools learn to understand the complicated legal clauses in contracts, automating a lot of the manual work that's usually involve in this space. 9fin also has a team of journalists and analysts who product news and analysis that help make sense of complex situations. The result is an integrated platform that debt capital market professionals can use to make quicker and better investment decisions.
9fin is used by leading banks, hedge funds, and asset managers around the world. The company has seen significant investment, the most recent of which will support the scaling of its team and expansion of its product into new asset classes, as well as helping it to grow its presence in the US, Latin America, and Asia Pacific.

Company values
- Technology doesn't serve the business. Technology is the business: Technology and business are not independent; they are one and the same. We’ve met CEOs who don’t know what language their code is written in and CTOs who don’t know who the customers are. That’s not OK
- Talent trumps experience: We judge people by the quality of their ideas, not the duration of their employment. We’d rather work with people who have spent 12 months being awesome than those who have spent 3 years being average
- Don't know? Say so: Ignorance is only a weakness when you don’t admit it. We’ve seen lots of people waste hours of productivity because they were too afraid to ask for help
- Ship early and often: It’s impossible to design a truly awesome product without customer feedback
- Never settle: The product might have shipped, but it’s never perfect. If we can’t find ways to improve we just aren’t looking hard enough
- Diversity: We don’t discriminate. As well as being an end in itself, varied backgrounds and cultures bring new perspectives and stop group think
- Have an opinion: No decision is off limits to being challenged. Disagreement is healthy, it shows you care
- Beautiful simplicity: If it’s not easy to use, then it’s broken. Consumer applications relentlessly focus on the user with beautiful interfaces and snazzy graphics. There’s no reason why B2B can’t be just as good
- Make time for others: Everyone is busy. But taking 5-10 minutes out of your day to grab a coffee with a colleague who needs advice or help is not too much to ask
- Overcommunicate: Don’t leave people in the dark. It’s better to receive a 10 second note saying “Super busy, but I’ll get to it.” than radio silence
- Family & health come first: No customer or job matters more than family and your health
