Senior AI Product Manager

Job description

About 9fin 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. THE OPPORTUNITY Our AI product area is growing. We already have two Product Managers working across conversational AI, agentic workflows, and domain-specific automation, and we need a third to expand our capacity as the scope of AI at 9fin accelerates. Backed by over $170M in funding (Series C), we are scaling rapidly across product, engineering, and go-to-market. AI is not a bolt-on feature at 9fin; it is the core differentiator for the next phase of the company. You will join an established AI PM team and take ownership of a product area within our AI surface. This could span new AI-powered features for credit analysts, workflow automation for legal and financial analysis, or expanding our conversational AI into new domains. The team has already built evaluation infrastructure and quality frameworks; you will use and contribute to these rather than build them from scratch. You will work within our product organization (eight squads across AI, data, and domain verticals) and partner closely with ML engineers, data scientists, domain experts, and designers. This is a high-autonomy role with real scope to shape what 9fin's AI products can do for our clients.
