The Opportunity
9fin is the AI platform powering global debt markets β the worldβs largest asset class at over $145 trillion. Debt markets are vast, global, and mission-critical, yet still run on fragmented data, PDFs, and manual workflows. 9fin replaces this broken infrastructure with a single platform that centralizes proprietary credit data, deep analysis, and high-value workflows across global markets. Today, 9fin powers teams at 300+ blue-chip institutions worldwide, including global banks, asset managers, private equity firms, law firms, and advisors. The business is scaling at exceptional speed, with rapid expansion in the US and best-in-class retention driven by deep workflow adoption. Weβre at a defining inflection point. With proven product-market fit and strong, global market pull, 9fin is accelerating toward becoming the category-defining platform for debt markets worldwide.What You'll Do
Product Strategy & Execution
- Collaboratively create and champion a clear product vision and strategy for your area, with a focus on building and evolving our AI products.
- Synthesize qualitative and quantitative insights into problem statements that identify root causes, not just symptoms.
- Shape the next generation of agentic AI products: multi-step reasoning workflows, tool orchestration, and autonomous task completion for financial professionals.
- Demonstrate a working understanding of the challenges specific to building with LLMs, including managing hallucinations, evaluating output quality, and designing for non-deterministic systems.
- Use confidence-building methods (prototypes, user research, data analysis) to understand how users will interact with AI-powered products before committing to full builds.
AI Quality & Data
- Use the team's AI evaluation framework (LLM-as-judge protocols, quality thresholds, SME eval cycles) to validate and improve the products you ship.
- Contribute to the data strategy for your product area: annotation quality, ground truth curation, and feedback loops that improve model performance over time.
- Proactively identify and track metrics that measure client and business benefit, working with the team on continuous model evaluation and improvement.
Team Leadership & Communication
- Create a collaborative environment for your squad, providing wider context and clear goals so everyone can do their best work.
- Work with data scientists and ML engineers to bridge the gap between business needs and the technical capabilities of AI models.
- Communicate strategy, initiatives, and progress transparently across the organization.
- Translate complex AI concepts, capabilities, and limitations into language that non-technical stakeholders can act on.
- Champion responsible AI practices: transparency in model outputs, bias monitoring, and compliance with client expectations around AI-generated content.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of product management experience, preferably in FinTech or B2B SaaS, with at least 2 years focused on ML or GenAI products.
- Working knowledge of RAG architectures, embeddings, prompt engineering, and LLM evaluation methods (not just "AI concepts" at a high level).
- Experience shipping AI products where output quality is probabilistic: you know how to define "good enough" and iterate from there.
- Comfortable reading Python notebooks and SQL to interrogate model outputs and usage data.
- Track record of shipping AI products where you managed the tension between ML research/exploration and production delivery constraints.
- Collaborative leadership style with strong stakeholder management; you build relationships that empower your team to achieve outcomes.
- User-centric communication skills: you can explain AI capabilities and limitations to clients and internal stakeholders without overselling or underselling.
- You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and are energized by the challenge of building something new.
Nice to Have
- Experience in financial services, legal tech, or data/analytics platforms.
- Familiarity with credit markets, debt instruments, or regulatory/compliance workflows.
- Experience with NLP applied to document analysis (contracts, legal filings, financial reports).
- Experience with agent orchestration frameworks, tool use patterns, or multi-step AI workflows.
Benefits
- Competitive, market-benchmarked salary.
- Pension with 7% company matching.
- Private medical insurance, paid sick leave, income protection, group life assurance.
- Season ticket and cycle-to-work schemes.
- Hybrid flexibility with up to 3 months annual work abroad.
- 25 holiday days plus local public holidays (exchangeable).
- One-month paid sabbatical after 5 years; enhanced parental leave.
- Professional development budget and regular social events.
