Role
Who you are
- You are an experienced Product Manager with a solid understanding of financial markets. You may have built products for a similar user base to 9fin, or perhaps you started your career in the industry before moving into Product Management. If your background aligns, we’d love to hear from you
- You're analytical & strategic thinker. You have an outstanding ability to think on your feet and tackle intellectually challenging problems. You are highly analytical and accustomed to using complex data to make decisions. You can define a product strategy and vision that leverages technology to solve a genuine customer problem, ensuring the team is always focused on a valuable product
- You're a collaborative leader. You have an empathetic leadership style and build strong, effective relationships. You love working autonomously but are able to earn the trust of others with a collaborative style. You are a great prioritiser, not afraid to say no, and excel at managing stakeholders while also being confident in voicing your own opinions and challenging others
- You're a user-centric communicator. You have an excellent ability to understand user needs and behaviours. 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've got a keen interest in AI. You actively use AI in your day-to-day and follow industry developments
- You thrive 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 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

- 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

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
