Role
Who you are
- Senior Product Manager with 5+ years experience in scale-ups or product-led orgs

- Proven ability to simplify complex problems, structure work, and deliver incrementally
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills: you’re clear, synthetic, and proactive
- Experience in a user-facing product environment (this team is not just infra or backend-only)
- Comfortable navigating cross-functional environments with multiple demands and constraints
What the job involves

- Authentication & login (UX, security, scalability)
- Role-based access control (RBAC) and permission management
- User security features (2FA, session management, etc.)
- You will play a strategic role in structuring the team, shaping the roadmap, driving alignment across Pennylane, and making Identity & Permissions a scalable product foundation for years to come
- Own the Identity & Permissions roadmap: define OKRs, set priorities, and ship impactful features
- Conduct continuous discovery: run interviews, collaborate with stakeholders, and dig into data
- Work with Engineering, Design, Security, and Compliance to build and iterate on secure, scalable systems
- Structure and introduce product management best practices: discovery, delivery, roadmapping, comms
- Align with internal stakeholders from product and tech mainly
- Lead cross-team initiatives and strategic projects involving identity, access, or user infrastructure
- Month 1
- Full onboarding to Pennylane’s product and company culture
- Deep dive into platform architecture and the permissions domain
- Month 3
- First features shipped with Engineers & Designers
- Discovery routine and roadmap established
- Positive impact on team OKRs
- Month 6
- Full autonomy on strategy, delivery, and team rituals
- Influence product culture across Platform and beyond
- Prepare to mentor future PMs as the team grows
Application process
- You will first have a general chat with a Talent Acquisition Manager (30 min)
- You’ll then have a discussion with 1 member of our Product team to assess the fit and the Product culture (45 min)
- You’ll then pass a live case study with 2 PMs from our team (1h15)
- You'll have a final round with Tancrède (our CPO) and a Group PM or a Head of Product (60 mn)
- Duration: ~15–25 days from first call to final offer
Our take
In multiple mature markets, companies have been using QuickBooks, Xero and other SaaS solutions for accounting, but it is a fragmented industry with each country using its own software solution. In France, there is no definitive SaaS solution for accounting.
Pennylane wants to overhaul current tools and modernise the tech stack of accounting firms, by connecting directly with third-party services that hold valuable information. Accounting firms can use Pennylane collaboratively by accessing the platform to centralise receipts, create invoices and automate tasks. Instead of sending information back and forth with spreadsheets and photo attachments, both clients and accounting firms can interact directly on the platform.
Pennylane has a significant market opportunity ahead, with an ambitious goal to become the preferred management platform for European companies. The company already claims an impressive number of customers and strong backing which will allow it to further develop its platform and expand to other markets in Europe.
