What you'll do
- Own your product roadmap end-to-end: Define what we build, why, and in what order — working with engineers, designers, and domain experts to ship features that make a real difference for SMEs and their accountants in Germany.
- Go deep on German accounting workflows and develop a sharp understanding of how accounting actually works in Germany.
- Define and execute the German accounting strategy by understanding customer needs, evaluating what to build vs. partner on, and shaping an offer that's genuinely useful to German SMEs, not just a localized version of what works elsewhere.
- Ship faster with AI: Use AI tools (Dust, Notion AI, Claude) and leverage AI as a product lever, identifying where automation and intelligence can transform accounting from a chore into a competitive advantage.
- Challenge the status quo: Question assumptions, prototype fast, and push for the best possible product.
- Work with maximum squad autonomy: Your squad owns its roadmap, picks its approaches, and ships independently. No layers of approval, no waiting on committees.
What we're looking for
- Deep German accounting domain expertise as you've worked at or closely with a German accounting-tech company.
- 5+ years as a Product Manager: Concrete examples of products you took from 0 to 1 or significantly scaled. You think in outcomes, not features, and you're comfortable making hard trade-offs.
- AI-native workflow: You use AI to supercharge how you work — from research and analysis to spec writing and user testing. You see AI as a product lever, not just a productivity hack.
- German fluency, strong English: You're able to navigate the German market natively — accounting is intensely local, and firsthand understanding of the landscape matters. Strong English is required to work cross-functionally across Qonto's European teams.
What we can offer you
- A market being completely transformed: You'll be building Qonto's accounting offer in this market from the ground up and shaping the strategy.
- Squad autonomy as the default: You own your decisions and ship without red tape. No committees, no approval chains.
- Unlimited access to the best AI tools: Claude, Dust, Notion AI, Cursor, Copilot — every tool you need, no permission required.
Your future manager
- Your manager will be Paul Mourot, Head of Product for Accounting.
- His path? Paul was CPO and co-founder at Semana (3+ years), Head of Product at BCG Digital Ventures, and CPO at Tiime — an accounting-tech platform — for nearly 4 years. He knows the accounting domain from the inside, he's built products for it before.
- What does he bring to the team? Real ownership for his PMs. You define the vision for your scope and you're accountable for the results.
