About the Company

We are creating the freedom for SMEs to succeed by delivering Europe's leading finance workspace with banking at its core, augmented by financial tools. We are proud to be rated 4.7 on Trustpilot, based on 60,000 reviews. Our culture puts customer satisfaction at the core of what we do (more about our culture here*).*

Our Journey

Founded in 2016 and launched in 2017 by Alexandre and Steve, Qonto has grown to 1,700 Qontoers serving over 750,000 customers across 8 European countries. We have been profitable since 2023, and we are just getting started.

Our Beliefs

We hire for skills and potential. With 80+ nationalities, 45% women, of which 56% of women in our leadership team, diversity isn't a program; It's who we are. We've built a discrimination-free hiring process because the best teams are built on merit.

AI at Qonto

AI is deeply embedded in how we work (here) - Every Qontoer gets unlimited access to the best AI tools. We want people who experiment without waiting for permission, push AI beyond the obvious, know when to trust it, and when to question it.

Responsibilities

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.

Requirements

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.

We Offer

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

You'll report to Paul Mourot, Head of Product for Accounting, who gives his PMs real ownership. Paul was CPO and co-founder at Semana, Head of Product at BCG Digital Ventures, and CPO at Tiime, an accounting-tech platform. He joined Qonto in 2025 to build the accounting product line, and he hires great people, gives them support, context, and autonomy.

Diversity

At Qonto, we understand that true diversity isn’t just about ticking boxes on a hiring checklist. Apply regardless of the boxes you tick - who knows? You may have the missing piece of the puzzle we’ve been searching for all along.
