Job description

Retire the ERP. Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers—automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business. We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Keyshot. People don’t just use Light—they enjoy it.

Product Manager role

• Owning the delivery of product strategy and execution for a core area of Light from 0→1 to scale.
• Turning complex financial workflows into intuitive, AI-powered experiences.
• Partnering with Engineering, Design and Data to ship beautiful, high-impact products fast.
• Translating ambiguity into structure: defining clear priorities, metrics, and direction in alignment with engineering and go-to-market teams (Customer Success & Sales)
• Working directly with CFOs, controllers, and finance teams to uncover users insights and shape new automation.
• Making crisp, high-quality decisions to deliver promptly and effectively: balancing velocity, precision, and impact.

You’ll thrive here if you…

• You move fast, think deeply, and take ownership.
• You have a founder’s mindset — equally comfortable with spreadsheets, sketches, or specs.
• You thrive in structured chaos and get energy from solving hard problems.
• You want to build a category-defining product with people who expect excellence.

Your qualifications

• Multi‑disciplinary experience broadly in product development: either product, engineering or design in a high‑growth SaaS and AI startup companies.
• Ability to translate product vision and customer requirements into supportive guidance & direction for engineering teams.
• Influential experience in stakeholder engagement and communication at leadership and delivery team level.
• Practical experience using AI or emerging technology tools to improve productivity, insight, or decision‑making, with the ability to apply first‑principles thinking to new problems.

Your traits

• Exceptionally structured thinking - you cut through complexity fast.
• Strong analytical instincts; you think in systems and numbers.
• Clear communication and crisp written thinking.
• Bias for action: you’d rather test than theorise.
• Curiosity about how finance, automation, and AI intersect.

Bonus points

• Experience in B2B fintech, accounting, or payments.
• Exposure to automation, data‑heavy products, or ML‑powered workflows.
• Working cross‑functionally in small, high‑output teams.
• Technical fluency — you can talk APIs and workflows with engineers.
• Operating or founding at an early‑stage startup.
• Management consulting (MBB or equivalent).

What success looks like in your first 6–12 months

• A sharp, insight‑driven roadmap aligned with Light’s mission.
• Key features shipped that simplify and speed up finance operations.
• Metrics‑driven decision‑making embedded in your product area.
• Engineering and Design teams love working with you because things move.
• You’re known as a force multiplier — adding clarity, speed, and structure everywhere you go.

Tips to stand out

• Show how you’ve created clarity or structure from scratch.
• Share examples of real outcomes — not just shipped features.
• Walk us through your decision frameworks and tradeoffs.
• Quantify your impact — adoption, growth, efficiency, or time saved.
