Product designer for debt markets in London

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.

Responsibilities:

• Partner with customers, Product Managers, engineers, and subject matter experts to shape product vision and design strategy - not just how it looks, but how it works and why it matters.
• Synthesise research, feedback, domain expertise, and data to frame clear problems, and translate complex financial workflows into intuitive product experiences.
• Run discovery to understand what users need, how they work, and where technology can create real value.
• Align your work to clear outcomes, manage competing priorities, and focus your effort where it has the most impact in high-precision environments.
• Design interfaces that help users explore, understand, and act on AI-generated insights and complex datasets.
• Translate model outputs into clear, trustworthy interfaces - with source attribution, confidence, transparency, and appropriate user control.
• Partner with Product and Engineering on feedback loops and evaluation workflows to improve AI-powered experiences in production.
• Spot opportunities to apply emerging AI capabilities to real customer problems, prototyping new patterns where no playbook exists yet.
• Own design end-to-end - flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity UI that hold up across edge cases and complex data conditions.
• Work as an embedded partner to Product, Engineering, Data, and subject matter experts.
• Communicate design rationale clearly and bring stakeholders along, especially in new or ambiguous territory.
• Contribute to and evolve the design system to support increasingly sophisticated, data-heavy, AI-driven workflows.

Requirements:

• Comfortable with complexity: you've designed for sophisticated users or high-stakes domains (fintech, enterprise SaaS, data platforms, professional tools).
• Financial markets experience is useful but not required - curiosity matters more.
• A systems thinker: you shape workflows, behaviours, and trust, not just screens, zooming from the big picture to the finest interaction detail.
• Focused on trust and precision: you think in edge cases, error states, and ambiguity, especially where AI is involved.
• AI-native in how you work: generative AI is a natural part of your process, from research to prototyping to stress-testing ideas.
• A natural prototyper: you find the fastest way to make an idea tangible, whether that's AI tools, Figma, code, or a pencil sketch.
• Energised by a blank page: you thrive defining something new and iterating quickly through ambiguity.
• A strong communicator: you run discovery interviews, facilitate workshops, and know when to challenge, align, or move a team forward.
• Skilled in your craft: fluent in Figma, comfortable choosing the right fidelity, and experienced contributing to a design system.

Conditions:

• Competitive Salary (our salary bands are benchmarked at the top end of the market)
• Equity
• Pension (your minimum contributions are 4% with 9fin matching up to 7%)
• Private Medical Insurance
• Paid sick leave with Income Protection for long periods of illness

• Enhanced parental leave & flexible working arrangements available
• Professional learning and development budget
• Quarterly team socials
• Summer and Winter company social events
