Requirements
  • 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 energised by the challenge of building something new
Responsibilities
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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 organisation
  • 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
Desired Qualifications
  • 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

London-based fintech 9fin raises $170M at $1.3B valuation.

London-based fintech 9fin raises $170M at $1.3B valuation. London-based fintech firm 9fin, which develops data and analytics software for debt capital markets, has raised a $170 million Series C round, valuing the company at $1.3 billion. * Established in 2016 by Steven Hunter and Huss El-Sheikh, 9fin develops data and analytics software for debt capital markets, focusing on credit instruments such as leveraged loans, bonds, and distressed debt. * The platform aggregates market data, financial documents, and news, then uses machine learning to extract key information, such as covenant terms and pricing, from complex filings. It also organizes and analyzes extensive credit data, enabling users to monitor transactions, compare issuers, and follow market activity in near real time. * To date, 9fin is used by over 300 institutions, including banks, asset managers, and law firms, with CPP Investments joining as an investor after initially becoming a client. Its primary applications include credit analysis, deal sourcing, and risk evaluation. Details of the deal. * The $170 million Series C round was led by HarbourVest Partners, with participation from CPP Investments, Highland Europe, Spark Capital, Redalpine, and Seedcamp. * The firm aims to use the new funding to advance its AI capabilities, build out its data assets, and expand its footprint in key markets like the US, while integrating more automation into credit analysis workflows to strengthen its position in the debt analytics space. "We're also scaling where demand is strongest. Three years ago, we had no presence in the US.

This funding allows us to invest further in our go-to-market presence and support clients at scale," explains Steven Hunter, co-founder of 9fin.
