Are you looking for a work environment that values trust, proactivity, and autonomy?

Are our Engineering principles aligned with your vision?

Then Pennylane is the right place for you!


Our vision

We aim to become the most beloved financial Operating System of French SMEs and Accounting Firms (and soon, European ones). We help entrepreneurs rid themselves of time‑consuming tasks related to accounting and finance while providing them with access to key financial information to assist in making the best decisions for their business.


About Us

Pennylane is one of the fastest growing Fintechs in France (and soon to be in Europe!). In five years of existence, we’ve managed to:

* Make ourselves known as a groundbreaking accounting and financial software for small businesses and their accountants.
* Raise a total of €225 millions, including from Sequoia, the famous fund from the Silicon Valley who invested early in companies like Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Stripe, Paypal and much more.
* Grow from 7 cofounders to 900 happy Pennylaners: we’re now recognized as one of the greatest places to work in France (and also remotely), with a 4.6/5 rating on Glassdoor.
* Build an international environment with more than 25 nationalities, with a strong remote‑friendly culture, where 30% of the employees are already working from all parts of Europe.
* Earn the trust of thousands of customers and accounting firms and obtain outstanding ratings.
* Already more than 700,000 small and medium‑sized enterprises (SMEs) and over 5,000 accounting firms use Pennylane in France.


Why This Role Matters

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.


This Is a Unique Opportunity To

* 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.

How You Will Contribute As a PM

* 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.
