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 role

We are seeking a Senior Product Designer to join our UK-based “Legals” and “Distressed” cross functional teams. To be effective, you don’t need any knowledge of the Legal or Distressed industries, but you should be eager to learn and excited to dive deep into these product areas.

Legals is our suite of popular AI-powered tools that empower users to quickly understand huge legal contracts called Offering Memorandums. These contracts are at the centre of the Leverage Finance industry. Using our tools, users can easily pull out key terms, decipher what an OM allows, and compare to other OMs. Your role will be to help to elevate this existing Legals product by investigating user needs, adding new user-facing functionality, and improving our internal tools.

Distressed is a new opportunity for 9fin, focussed on companies who are at risk of financial difficulty. To our clients, these distressed companies might present big risks or lucrative investment opportunities. As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll join a newly formed team, and work closely with a PM and Engineers to shape the strategy and creative direction of our new Distressed data products.

Every day is different, but here are a few things you might have worked on recently if you were already part of the team:

• Collaborating with a PM to design a production-ready MVP for a brand new Dockets product.
• Making a prototype of your Dockets idea, then running user calls to validate and iterate on it.
• Working with an Engineer to figure out a way to add some tricky permissioning functionality to our existing Covenant Explorer feature in a way users will understand.
• Recording a video to explain the tradeoffs on your permissioning ideas, and sharing it with the team.
• Collaborating with other designers to find ways to improve their design’s UX and appearance.
• Designing and adding a new component to the 9fin design system, and writing documentation so other designers can use the new component you made.
