About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the product vision and execution strategy for the Monetisation group, aligned with short- and medium-term business objectives, ensuring coherent cross-squad prioritization (trade-offs, dependencies, sequencing, capacity).
Co-develop with Strategy & Ops and Marketing teams a unified acquisition and go-to-market strategy (positioning, activation, growth loops), with a particular focus on payment acceptance.
Manage, coach, and develop a team of 3 PMs by structuring rituals, raising standards, and improving the quality of product decisions. You will work with a mix of junior and senior PMs, addressing multiple management and growth challenges.
Collaborate closely with Data on scoring (direct debits, credit) and impact measurement (adoption, activation, revenue, risk), and anticipate data resourcing needs within your scope.
Establish an effective partnership between Product and Ops/Risk/Compliance to address regulatory challenges affecting your area.
Manage relationships with strategic partners: Defacto (credit) and Adyen (payment terminals).
Accelerate adoption and penetration of payment acceptance products (cash-in and payment terminals), maximizing impact on revenue and product usage.
Build the short-term credit offering (cash advance): scoping, discovery, launch, iteration, and scale-up. Part of this mission will be supporting the construction of our credit stack to enable operation under licenses currently being applied for.
Your North Star is revenue, driven by feature activation and penetration, with the ambition of making it a major monetization lever for Pennylane.
Increase the primary account rate across our customer base through adoption of our payment acceptance solutions.
Deliver a significant contribution from credit to financial services revenue.
Upskill and consolidate your team.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Proven hybrid experience in Strategy and Product Management on products with high business impact, ideally in fintech, payments, lending, or transactional platform contexts.
Demonstrated experience managing PMs (coaching, upskilling, team structuring).
Strong data-driven mindset: metrics, instrumentation, experimentation, and penetration optimization.
Ability to co-create acquisition and penetration strategies with cross-functional impact.
Experience managing strategic partnerships and identifying build vs. buy opportunities within your scope.
Comfort operating on infrastructure and operational topics (reliability, run operations, incidents, partner dependencies).
Excellent cross-functional alignment skills (Engineering, Data, Marketing, Ops, Compliance, Risk).
Pragmatic, results-oriented leadership with a strong business focus.
Must-haves: Full fluency / bilingual French speaker.
Proven experience owning a multi-squad product domain (Group PM, Head of Product, or equivalent) with measurable business outcomes.
Strong growth mindset driven by data: you run experiments, instrument products, and make decisions based on signals rather than gut feel.
Track record of coaching and growing PMs: you raise the bar, provide direct feedback, and know when to delegate versus step in.
Excellent cross-functional leadership — comfortable driving alignment across Engineering, Data, Marketing, Compliance, and Risk.
A hybrid business/product profile: you speak revenue, penetration, and ARPU as fluently as you speak discovery and roadmap.
Comfortable operating in a fast-scaling, high-ambiguity environment where context changes faster than the org chart.
Nice-to-haves: Experience in fintech, payments, lending, or transactional platforms.
Familiarity with payment ecosystems (PSPs, acquiring, terminals — e.g., Adyen).
Experience with credit products, scoring models, or regulated financial products.
B2B SaaS experience with complex workflows and multiple user personas.
