Build financial models, drive forecast accuracy, and partner with commercial teams to inform strategic decisions using SaaS metrics and AI-driven automation. ## 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 This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role at the heart of a finance function that is scaling fast. As FP&A Manager, you will own the planning, reporting, and business partnering work that keeps 9fin’s leadership informed and its commercial decisions well-grounded. You will work directly alongside the Senior Strategic Finance & FP&A Manager and sit at the intersection of finance, commercial, and operational teams. This is not a role for someone who wants to process numbers in the background. You will be expected to form views, tell the story behind the data, and challenge assumptions — while building the infrastructure that makes the finance function faster and sharper over time. You will join at a moment when the FP&A function is still being shaped. That means genuine scope to influence how we plan, report, and partner with the business — and real opportunity to grow with the role as 9fin scales. ## WHAT YOU’LL DO ## PLANNING & FORECASTING - Support the annual budget and rolling forecast processes — coordinating inputs across the business, stress-testing assumptions, and producing a consolidated view that reflects commercial reality. - Build and maintain robust financial models that support scenario planning, headcount modelling, and long-range forecasting. - Translate financial plans into actionable targets for commercial and operational teams, ensuring the budget is understood and owned beyond the finance function. - Continuously improve forecast accuracy by refining methodologies and incorporating actuals analysis into future cycles. - Support board and investor reporting cycles with modelling, narrative, and presentation preparation. ## REPORTING & ANALYSIS - Own the headcount and financial model and lead report creation for the ELT — turning the numbers into clear, decision-ready narrative. - Produce variance commentary that goes beyond the numbers: what happened, why it happened, and what it means for the business. - Design and maintain KPI dashboards and reporting frameworks that give leadership real-time visibility into the metrics that matter. - Track and report on SaaS metrics — ARR, NRR, CAC, LTV, churn, and cohort performance — ensuring finance and commercial reporting are aligned. - Partner with the Finance Systems Lead to ensure reporting infrastructure is built on clean, timely data from source systems. - Support the build-out of investor-facing outputs as the business approaches future milestones. ## BUSINESS PARTNERING - Support business partnering across commercial, product, and operational teams — building relationships, developing financial insight, and adding value beyond the numbers. - Understand the sales pipeline, analyse revenue performance, and help the business make better decisions. - Support hiring decisions and headcount planning with clear financial analysis, working with Talent and functional leads to track actuals against plan. - Provide ad hoc analysis and decision support across the business — building the case for investment, surfacing risks, and identifying opportunities. ## AI & AUTOMATION This is a core part of the role — not a nice-to-have. We want someone who is genuinely excited about what AI and automation can do for a finance function, and who brings that energy into their day-to-day work. - Use AI tools actively and practically: to accelerate reconciliations, automate recurring analyses, clean and validate data, and turn manual processes into repeatable workflows. - Partner with the Finance Systems Lead to identify and embed automation across the FP&A function — from data ingestion to report generation. - Bring a point of view on AI-powered FP&A tooling — whether that’s planning platforms, forecasting assistants, or BI tools — and contribute to the evaluation of future investments. - Share knowledge and good habits with the broader finance team, helping build a culture of smart, tool-led working. ## ABOUT YOU This role will be a strong fit if you: - Have a strong foundation in FP&A, ideally built in a SaaS or high-growth technology business where you’ve had to move fast and think commercially. - Have an AI-native working style. You use AI tools day-to-day to sharpen your analysis, automate routine tasks, and do more with less — not just in theory. - Are fluent in SaaS commercial metrics and understand the business model dynamics that sit behind them — ARR, NRR, churn, cohort economics, unit economics. - Build models that are clean, well-structured, and actually used by the people they’re built for — not just technically correct. - Can tell a clear story with data. You write crisp variance commentary, build accessible dashboards, and present confidently to senior audiences. - Are a natural business partner. You build relationships with commercial and operational stakeholders, ask good questions, and add value beyond the numbers. - Are comfortable operating in ambiguity, managing competing priorities, and delivering to deadlines without constant direction. - Communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders — as comfortable discussing methodology with the Control team as presenting to the CEO. - Are intellectually curious, self-motivated, and genuinely excited about building a finance function that operates ahead of the curve. ## NICE TO HAVE - Experience with or a view on dedicated FP&A and forecasting platforms — ideally having evaluated or worked within one. - Exposure to investor relations or fundraising processes, and familiarity with the financial narrative that supports them. ## Compensation & Benefits Finance & Insurance - Competitive base salary - Equity options - Pension with 9fin contributing 3% (employee contributions are uncapped) - Private health insurance with dental and vision Time Off - 25 vacation days per year - Local public holidays (with option to exchange for alternative days) - Hybrid working model - Work abroad for up to 3 months per year - 1-month paid sabbatical after 5 years of service - Enhanced parental leave and flexible working arrangements Growth & Culture - Professional learning and development budget - Bi-annual team socials - Summer and Winter company-wide events Location: London (hybrid) 9fin is an equal opportunities employer At 9fin we are dedicated to building and promoting a fair and inclusive workplace where everyone can reach their full potential and truly belong.
