Senior Product Manager

About 9fin

The world's largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data.

Technology has revolutionized equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos and instantaneous news. However, in debt capital markets, the picture is completely different. It still behaves like it’s in the 1980s; trillions of dollars of trades are placed over the phone, news is slow, and corporate credit information is imperfect and scattered.

Our mission is to change this.

9fin's proprietary technology delivers fast and comprehensive financial, credit, legal & ESG analysis. Our clients are able to make faster, more informed decisions, win more business and most importantly, save time.

Our fast growing list of clients include 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Law Firms.

The opportunity

Join 9fin's fast-growing Data, Design, Product & Engineering (DDEP) organisation, fresh off a cracking $50M Series B funding round. We're building a world-class product team that's set to lead the market, with AI being a massive part of our future. With our current ten product squads and plans for continued expansion, we're on the hunt for a Senior Product Manager with an interest in AI to lead the development of a market-leading Structured Credit product. 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.

Key responsibilities:

Product Strategy & Execution

• Strategy: Collaboratively create and champion a clear product vision and strategy for your area, with a focus on building and evolving our Structured Credit product.

• Problem definition & structured thinking: Synthesise insights from various sources to craft a clear problem statement, articulating the root cause in a structured way.

• Discovery: Identify and use a range of confidence-building methods to understand whats users need, how to integrate AI into solutions and client workflows, and how to build confidence in the tools.

• 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.

Team Leadership & Communication

• Team Success: Create a collaborative environment for your squad, providing wider context and clear goals so everyone can do their best work. Work with engineers and data scientists to bridge the gap between business needs and the technical capabilities, including AI models.

• Communication: Ensure all people involved are aware of the team's strategy, initiatives, and progress. You must be able to effectively communicate complex Structured Credit concepts to technical audiences and vice versa communicate tech and AI 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 with stakeholders to gather the right input and insights, ensuring they have the information to effectively represent the product team within their own areas.

About You

This role will be a great fit if you:

• You are an experienced product manager. You have at least 5 years of product management experience, preferably in the FinTech or B2B SaaS space, and you're eager to build products that leverage technology & AI.

• You've got a keen interest in AI. You actively use AI in your day-to-day, attend a course, follow industry developments, and attend relevant talks about AI. While you don't need to be a data scientist, you're excited to learn about AI concepts. You are ready to work closely with technical teams to understand different approaches and translate product goals into clear requirements.

• You're an analytical & strategic thinker. You have an outstanding ability to think on your feet and tackle intellectually challenging problems. You are highly analytical and comfortable using complex data to make decisions. You can define a product vision that leverages technology and AI 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, especially how users interact with and trust AI-powered features. 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.
