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 organisation, fresh off a $50M Series B funding round. We're building a world-class product team that's set to lead the market.

With ten product squads already established and plans for further growth, we are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our Deals team. This team sits at the very heart of the 9fin platform, taking full ownership of our instrument and deal-related data—from core data points and ratings to pricing and real-time deal updates.

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 the Deals team.

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

• Discovery: Use a range of techniques to identify and understand what users need and their workflows.

• 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. Work with the team to define and manage a process for continuous model evaluation and improvement.

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.

• Communication: Ensure all people involved are aware of the team's strategy, initiatives, and progress. You must be able to effectively communicate complex financial concepts to technical audiences and similarly communicate tech 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 closely with stakeholders, like our credit team, to gather the right input and insights. You’ll need to be able to listen carefully & bring people on a journey.

About You

This role will be a great fit if:

• You are an experienced Product Manager with a solid understanding of financial markets. You may have built products for a similar user base to 9fin, or perhaps you started your career in the industry before moving into Product Management. If your background aligns, we’d love to hear from you.

• You're analytical & strategic thinker. You have an outstanding ability to think on your feet and tackle intellectually challenging problems. You are highly analytical and accustomed to using complex data to make decisions. You can define a product strategy and vision that leverages technology 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. 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.

• You've got a keen interest in AI. You actively use AI in your day-to-day and follow industry developments.

• You thrive in a fast-paced environment. You are forward-thinking and ambitious, with a proven ability to quickly get up to speed in a domain, identify trends and opportunities, and adapt to an environment where things change quickly.

Please Note: due to the holiday season, response to applications will be in the New Year.
