Product Manager (£40k - £50k)

  • Full-time

Company Description

Xapien is one of the brightest and most exciting tech companies to appear over the last few years. The AI-powered automated research platform is redefining background research and gaining critical success from clients.

Every business in the world, in every sector, needs to know who they are engaging with and Xapien helps them answer that question – quickly and accurately.

We use deep Natural Language Processing, AI and huge scale cloud infrastructure to automate the concept of human research.

We locate, collect, read, distil and assimilate hundreds of thousands of fragments of information – allowing us to understand a person or company like a human would.

This depth and quality of information has historically only been possible using expensive and time-consuming human investigation. We provide the users of our platform with fast, cost-effective and deep insight in minutes, saving them weeks and helping them to secure against diverse risks to their business.

We deliver daily insight to major financial institutions, industry regulators, charities and commercial organisations – and the potential market for the solution is enormous.
