Senior Product Manager
Role Summary
Join 9Fin as a Senior Product Manager to lead innovation in AI-driven legal products for the debt markets industry.
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.
This role will be a great fit if:
- You have a legal or financial markets background, or have built products for this audience. You may have started your career as a lawyer, paralegal, or credit analyst, or you may have been a PM at a legal tech company. You are able to hold a substantive conversation about credit agreements, covenant packages, and how legal language governs capital structures. A sharp PM from an adjacent domain who can demonstrate rapid domain immersion will also be considered.
- You are a strategic thinker who thrives with a blank page. You are comfortable defining strategy from scratch, not just executing an existing roadmap. You can synthesise ambiguous inputs into a clear direction and bring a team with you.
- 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 great at prioritising, not afraid to say no, and excel at managing stakeholders while also being confident in voicing your own opinions and challenging others.
- You've got hands-on experience with AI. You have experience with or a working knowledge of AI and LLMs, including how to evaluate model outputs in production environments. You understand what good looks like when AI is applied to high-stakes, precision-dependent workflows, and you can engage meaningfully with engineering teams on evaluation design and quality standards.
- You work in an AI-native way. You use generative AI tools as a natural part of how you work: prototyping ideas, conducting research, reviewing PRDs, and building agents or automated workflows to extend your own productivity. You are comfortable using coding assistants to get things done faster and are genuinely excited about what this shift means for how product work gets done. This is not a nice-to-have. We expect our PMs to be at the frontier of how AI accelerates product development.
- You thrive building from zero. You are energised by the opportunity to define something new rather than optimise something established. You move quickly, make decisions with incomplete information, and course-correct based on evidence.
Working Conditions
We’re a scaling start up, and we enjoy sharing our success, when the company succeeds, we always reinvest that in our people. We also offer huge amounts of responsibility, an abundance of opportunity for growth and a platform to truly excel.
- Professional learning and development budget
- Quarterly team socials
- Summer and Winter company social events
