Senior Product Manager (Data API)
Role Summary

About the Organisation
9fin is the AI platform powering global debt markets — the world’s 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 centralises 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.
We’re 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.
Minimum Requirements
- 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years building API products, data platforms, or data distribution products at a B2B company
- Experience designing APIs for external consumers: you have opinions on schema design, versioning strategies, rate limiting, and what makes developer documentation actually useful
- Track record of shipping data products where you managed the full lifecycle: from defining what data to expose, through schema design, to commercial packaging and client onboarding
- Understanding of data infrastructure concepts: data pipelines, warehouses, ETL/ELT, data modelling, and platforms like Snowflake
- Comfortable with SQL and Python and capable of interrogating data to validate quality, understand usage patterns, and inform product decisions
- Experience working in a solution-selling or partner-led GTM model: you have been involved in POCs, pilots, or co-development with enterprise clients, not just self-serve product launches
- Proven ability to lead cross-functionally without a dedicated team: you coordinate across engineering, data, and commercial functions through influence, not authority
- Strong commercial instinct: you understand how enterprise data buyers evaluate providers, and you can shape a product that competes on data quality, coverage, and ease of integration
- Clear communicator who can translate between technical and commercial audiences
- Familiarity with credit markets, debt instruments, or how buy-side/sell-side firms consume financial data
- Experience with Snowflake data sharing, marketplace listings, or similar cloud data distribution mechanisms
- Experience building entitlements, licensing, or access control systems for data products
