What do we do to make your work life easier
🏢 You'll be able to work remotely from your country of residence, as long as it is in Europe and within a maximum time difference of two hours from the CET time zone
🌴 Wherever you are based, you will get 25 vacations days paid by Pennylane
💵 You’ll have a competitive compensation package
📈 You'll get company shares to enjoy a piece of the success story you're building with us
🏡 You’ll have a budget to turn your home into a more comfortable workspace, as well as a monthly allowance to work from a coworking space whenever you feel like it
⛹️ Through our partner Gymlib, you’ll have access to 8000 fitness spaces in Europe and more than 300 activities related to wellness

🎉 We are committed to regularly coming together for company events such as Tech Days (which bring remote Pennylaners together every 3 months) or our annual company seminar, fostering significant moments of cohesion for everyone.
If you are based in France, you will have a French contract following French regulation on top of the additional perks : 8 to 13 RTT, 5 weeks PTOs, lunch credits (Swile), Alan Blue healthcare cover and regular events in cities where Pennylaners are mostly presents (Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes…)
We're working on providing those last advantages to our people based outside of France as well, but it can be quite more complex depending on different countries.
We are recruiting a ‘Group PM’ for the larger sme segment, within our ‘SME’ track. This is a new role. We are excited to build it with you, and we expect you to actively contribute in shaping it!
👪 Team and context
The position sits within our SME ‘track’, which is composed of 8 squads.
The “core” of our product is and needs to remain a consistent, easy-to-use all in one platform, allowing our clients to handle their business and finances in Pennylane. We expect all SME squads to contribute to this core product.
We believe we have reached product-market fit for the “long-tail” of the market (what we call Small SMEs), and we want to accelerate product developments to go up-market after SMEs that are bigger, with more complex needs. The position we are opening aims at coordinating the efforts on this new market segment.
This means building new features specifically for those large clients (3 squads are already working on this)
… as well as coordinating a cross-department go-to-market (setting all the right process and set-up to acquire and serve our clients within the sales, support, ops, product marketing, account managers…)
🎯Your missions
As a PM manager, you will contribute to the growth and development of 3 talented, experienced PMs. Each of them work on an autonomous scope, and actively contribute in building the product for the larger SMEs segment.
You will work with a dedicated ‘large sme’ PMM to craft our positioning and value proposition for this segment
You will be the main point of contact and act as cross-functional leader with business teams (sales, partnership, onboarding…)
Part of your time will be spent as a PM individual contributor to improve our clients experience, in close partnership with design and tech
You will define the vision and strategy to unlock this new market opportunities
Who are we looking for ?
To thrive at Pennylane, you need :
To speak English (level is assessed and appreciated according to the department you’re applying to)
To be energized by an ever-shifting work environment
To be highly collaborative (within your team or other stakeholders)
Sufficiently experienced to prioritize business-led actions on your day to day activity
🥇 You’re the right candidate if…
You have excellent communication skills
You have an experience as a PM and as a PM manager in a scale-up OR experience as a startup founder
You have management experience
Experience in a B2B saas is a plus
🤝Hiring process
- First call with a Technical Recruiter ;
- Then, an interview with a PM ;
- A Technical assessment and debriefing with 2 people from the Product Team ;
- A Management assessment with a HRBP and one people from the product team ;
- And a Final Round with one of our Co-Founders and/ or a Product Lead.
We know that some people are less likely to apply than others, if they don’t feel like they meet the full list of criteria.
If you’re hesitating, we encourage you to apply : who knows, it might be the start of a meaningful and long-lasting collaboration.
We also want to emphasize that we fully embrace diversity, equity and inclusion and that we’re doing our best to create a safe and inclusive environment. We are committed to providing an equal employment opportunity regardless of gender, sexual orientation, origin, disabilities, or any other traits that make you who you are. If anything, diversity makes us a more fun place to work at.
