The Opportunity

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Execution

• Define and champion the product vision and strategy for the Covenants squad from the ground up, working closely with engineering, our legal analysts, and key customers to establish what to build and why.
• Synthesise insights from in-house legal subject matter experts (SMEs), customer interviews, customer feedback and data signals to craft a clear problem statement, articulating the root cause in a structured way.
• Use a range of techniques to identify and understand what users need and their workflows, across a sophisticated professional audience spanning credit analysts, portfolio managers, restructuring advisors, and law firms.
• Align the team around a key outcome and effectively prioritise initiatives across multiple dimensions.
• 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, with particular attention to the accuracy and reliability standards required in legal contexts.

Team Leadership & Communication

• Create a collaborative environment for your squad, providing wider context and clear goals so everyone can do their best work.
• Ensure all people involved are aware of the team's strategy, initiatives, and progress. You must be able to effectively communicate complex legal and financial concepts to technical audiences, and similarly communicate technical capabilities to legal and credit professionals.
• Build strong relationships to empower the squad to achieve the desired outcome, often by influencing stakeholders outside of your team.
• Work closely with stakeholders, including 9fin's legal analysts, credit team to gather the right input and insights. You will need to listen carefully and bring people on a journey.

AI Product Development

• Own the roadmap for AI-powered legal document extraction and covenant analysis, ensuring outputs meet the precision standards required for professional use.
• Partner with software and AI engineering to define evaluation frameworks for AI outputs in legal contexts, where accuracy, source attribution, and explainability are critical to user trust.
• Identify opportunities to apply emerging AI capabilities to novel legal workflow problems, from covenant compliance monitoring to cross-document analysis across deal histories.

About You

• You have a legal or financial markets background, or have built products for this audience. You may have started your career as a lawyer, paralegal, or credit analyst, or you may have been a PM at a legal tech company.
• You are a strategic thinker who thrives with a blank page. You are comfortable defining strategy from scratch, not just executing an existing roadmap.
• You're a collaborative leader with a strong empathetic leadership style.
• You've got hands-on experience with AI, including how to evaluate model outputs in production environments.
• You thrive building from zero, energized by the opportunity to define something new rather than optimise something established.
