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.

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.

• 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 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.
