Staff Product Manager [Accounting expertise] - German speaking 🇩🇪
Join us as a Product Manager to build the accounting products that will make Qonto the default finance workspace for SMEs across Germany and beyond.
You'll own our accounting expansion in the German market end-to-end — shaping the product strategy, deepening our local offering, and defining what we build next — in one of the most fragmented and locally complex domains in fintech: German accounting, bookkeeping, and the DATEV ecosystem.
You will report to Paul Mourot, Head of Product for Accounting.
➡️ 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.
- 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. Before that, he led product at AppTurbo, managing a team of designers, data analysts, and POs. He joined Qonto in 2025 to build the accounting product line. 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. His approach: hire great people, give them context and autonomy, and create an environment where the best ideas win.
