Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Own the first 30-day experience for every new SME and accountant who joins Pennylane, turning sign-ups into power users who can’t imagine running their business without us. You will map the entire activation funnel, identify drop-off points, and design experiments that lift conversion by double-digit percentages.
  • • Spend 50 % of your week in the field: interviewing cafĂ© owners in Lyon, shadowing an accountant in Lille, or jumping on a Zoom with a scale-up CFO in Berlin. You will translate raw anecdotes into quantified insights in Looker, then craft a crisp narrative that rallies your squad around the next bet.
  • • Define quarterly OKRs that ladder up to company-level growth targets (e.g., “Increase Day-7 activation rate from 38 % to 55 %”). You will break these into weekly bets, ship MVPs behind feature flags, and iterate until the metric moves.
  • • Collaborate daily with a dedicated Product Designer and a cross-functional engineering team (6-8 engineers, data analyst, QA). Together you will prototype onboarding checklists, in-product tooltips, and lifecycle emails that feel native to an accounting workflow.
  • • Build a living experimentation engine: write spec docs, run A/B tests in Amplitude, and feed learnings back into the roadmap. You will evangelise a culture of rapid testing across the 40-person Product org.
  • • Partner with Sales, Support, and Customer Success to surface activation blockers before they become churn risks. You will create enablement assets—videos, help-centre articles, webinars—that scale our human touch.
  • • Influence the pricing & packaging roadmap by proving which activation levers unlock expansion revenue. Your dashboards will be quoted in board meetings and Sequoia updates.
  • • Mentor junior PMs as the team doubles in size. You will codify playbooks, run discovery workshops, and raise the bar for how Pennylane thinks about user onboarding.
  • • Champion accessibility and localisation so a plumber in Marseille and an e-commerce founder in Stockholm both feel the product was built just for them.
  • • Within 30 days: complete an immersive onboarding week, shadow customer calls, ship a quick-win experiment that improves the empty-state of the dashboard.
  • • Within 3 months: own a squad roadmap, launch a multi-channel onboarding sequence, and move a core activation metric by at least 5 percentage points.
  • • Within 6 months: present your strategy to the exec team, recruit two additional PMs, and lay the groundwork for European expansion.

🎯 Requirements

  • • 4+ years of product management experience in a high-growth SaaS or marketplace, ideally with a product-led growth motion
  • • Demonstrated success owning activation, onboarding, or growth KPIs that materially impacted revenue or retention
  • • Fluent in qualitative research (user interviews, JTBD, diary studies) and quantitative analysis (SQL, cohort analysis, A/B testing)
  • • Exceptional written and verbal communication in English; professional proficiency in French is highly desirable
  • • Comfortable navigating complex, regulated domains—accounting knowledge is a plus but deep curiosity is enough

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Work from anywhere in Europe with full remote flexibility and a generous home-office & co-working budget
  • • Stock-options package so you share in the upside you help create
  • • 35 days paid leave (25 standard + 10 Pennylane days) and Swile lunch credits when in France
  • • Premium health coverage (Alan Blue) and unlimited access to 8 000 Gymlib fitness & wellness partners
  • • Latest Apple gear, annual off-sites in the French Alps, and a culture that celebrates Thursday rooftop drinks
