About Us

Every business needs to know who they’re really working with whether it’s suppliers, investors, partners, or third parties. At Xapien, we’re reinventing how organisations do that, combining speed, scale and accuracy with cutting‑edge AI.

Since 2018, we’ve grown from a deep-tech startup to a global player in AI-driven due diligence and risk intelligence. 2024 was a landmark year as we closed a $10M Series A, earned recognition in the Chartis Risk Tech
100® and Everest Group’s Leading 50™, and expanded our products, markets and customer base.

With new regulations, rising compliance pressure and growing reputation risks, organisations everywhere are demanding smarter, faster ways to work and they’re turning to us. Customers worldwide from global law firms and private banks to universities and nonprofits rely on Xapien to turn days of manual research into trusted insights, delivered in minutes.

Customers in a diverse range of industries, with particular growth in wealth management, financial services and supply chain onboarding.

Demand accelerating beyond our UK headquarters, across multiple continents with new customers in the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania.

This isn’t just another job role; it’s an opportunity to shape the future of the due diligence industry with a market‑leading product trusted by global organisations. Whether you’re in marketing, communications, sales, or finance, you’ll play a critical role in driving growth, building credibility, and defining how we connect our product to a rapidly evolving market.

We’re scaling fast with more customers, more releases, and bigger regulatory and market challenges. Expectations are rising, due diligence now means real‑time insight, delivered efficiently and with impact. You won’t just be executing campaigns, closing deals, or managing numbers, you’ll be influencing strategy, optimising processes, and helping position a brand that’s setting the new standard for trust and transparency.

For people who love learning, innovating, and making an impact that matters now is the moment to be a part of Xapien.

What makes Xapien genuinely exciting for a senior product hire is the moment it’s in. The hard technology problem is largely solved. What’s needed now is the product and commercial discipline to focus that capability on the right customers, in the right segments and to build the organisation that can sustain and accelerate that focus as the company scales. For a product leader who wants to pair world‑class technology with world‑class product management, and have their fingerprints on how a category‑defining company grows, the timing doesn’t get much better than this.

• Translate company strategy into a clear product roadmap with explicit bets, sequenced priorities, and defined ICPs for each target segment.

• Establish and maintain a rigorous prioritisation framework that connects strategy and customer evidence to roadmap decisions — and has the courage to kill work that doesn’t pass the test. In a company with big ambitions and limited resources, saying no is as important as saying yes.

• Drive segmentation discipline: define where Xapien plays, how it wins, and ensure every initiative ladders up to that focus.

• Partner with the CEO, CPTO, and Chief Strategy Officer to align product direction with commercial strategy and fundraising narrative.

• Establish a customer advisory board to create a structured, ongoing feedback loop with key accounts — moving beyond ad‑hoc conversations to systematic insight.

• Define how the roadmap is communicated to commercial teams and customers:…
