Role
Who you are
- Strong user research skills and the ability to deeply understand workflows and pain points
- Curiosity and creativity to explore GenAI’s potential, even without prior AI expertise
- Experience in 0 to 1 product building, ideally in exploratory contexts (scale-ups, startups, or innovation teams)
- Pragmatism: able to move from hacky prototypes to scalable solutions
- Strong communication skills to connect technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Hands-on attitude: willing to dive into user problems, experiments, and product delivery
- Accounting or AI expertise is not required – what matters most is your curiosity, problem-solving ability, and drive to explore
What the job involves
- GenAI has the potential to revolutionize the way accountants and entrepreneurs interact with their tools, processes, and data. Over the past 18 months, our GenAI team has laid down the technical foundations and begun testing use cases
- We are now ready to scale and need a dedicated Product Manager to partner with our technical leaders and take this journey further
- Explore, test, and validate GenAI-powered use cases in the accounting domain
- Build products from 0 to 1 and then scale them across our platform
- Shape the future of a strategic area at the intersection of finance, accounting, and cutting-edge technology
- Dive deep into the daily life of accountants and entrepreneurs, conducting user research to identify opportunities where GenAI can truly add value
- Work closely with Clément (Product & Tech lead) and engineers to define and prioritize experiments, prototypes, and scalable solutions
- Adopt a test & learn / hack-first approach, rapidly exploring new ideas and validating them with real users
- Drive the transition from exploration to industrialization: from quick wins and prototypes to products that scale and bring measurable impact
- Balance technical curiosity (what is possible with GenAI) with product pragmatism (what actually solves user problems at scale)
- Act as the connector between a technically driven team and the broader product vision of Pennylane
- Within 1 month
- You’ll be fully onboarded into Pennylane, our mission, and our product culture
- You’ll understand the foundations of our GenAI stack and the ongoing experiments
- Within 3 months

- Within 6 months
- You’ll be fully autonomous in driving your roadmap, balancing exploration with delivery
- You’ll have turned experiments into scalable product features
- You’ll have become a key partner for Clément and the engineering team
- And beyond
- You’ll play a central role in defining Pennylane’s GenAI strategy
- You’ll mentor new joiners as the team grows
- You’ll help implement best practices for experimentation and industrialization

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.
