We are seeking a VP of Product to lead our product management organisation. This role will be responsible for all product management across all cross-functional product teams.

- Champion clarity in decisions using the 9fin Product Principles as your operating foundation.
- Mentor and grow product leaders through coaching, direct feedback, and elevating product craft across discovery, delivery, and measurement.
- Enhance customer understanding via systematic win/loss insights, persona depth, and market learning loops that guide strategic bets.
- Strengthen product operating rhythm. Build processes that enable teams to move faster, make high-quality decisions, and deliver outcomes with urgency; reduce noise and increase the tempo of execution.
- Build tight alignment with Go-to-Market teams to accelerate trials, onboarding, retention, and expansion based on demonstrable workflow value.
- Improve end-to-end workflow delivery with Legal, Content, and Data Ops to simplify complex information and boost customer confidence.
- Drive measurable improvements in adoption and engagement to drive new business, expansion and retention.
