Join us as Staff Product Manager, Accounting Europe to make accounting simple for SMEs and accountants, whatever their setup. You'll start with Germany, then take what works to other European markets, under the guidance of Paul Mourot https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulmourot/, our Head of Product for Accounting.

➡️ What you'll do

• Fix a broken experience: You'll build an accounting page that surfaces our existing building blocks and integrations, starting with Connect.
• Live with our customers: You'll spend your time with SMEs, accountants and tax advisors to understand their habits and needs.
• Assemble before you build: You'll combine existing building blocks to deliver value fast, and shape what we build next.
• Define the long-term vision: You'll set the product direction for accounting in Germany, using AI to prototype and test ideas early.
• Scale across Europe: You'll adapt the offer to each market and to every segment, from small businesses to SMEs and accountants.

➡️ What we're looking for

• German fluency: You speak German natively and have strong English, so you can work with local customers and Qonto's European teams.
• Customer obsession: You learn by talking to users, and you turn what you hear into product decisions.
• Proven scale: You've taken a product from 0 to 1 or significantly scaled it, and you think in outcomes, not features.
• Systems thinking: You can see which existing pieces to reuse and which to build, then make the trade-offs.
• AI-native workflow: You use AI to speed up research, specs and prototyping, and you see it as a product lever.

➡️ What we can offer you

• Local expertise on tap: Tax advisors who know the German market will support you, so you don't need to be an accountant.
• A head start: You start with a live tax advisor marketplace and a proven French bookkeeping engine.
• Real scope: You own accounting for every European market outside France, across segments.
• Autonomy and AI tools: Your squad owns its roadmap and ships without red tape, with unlimited access to the best AI tools.

➡️ Your future manager
