About the role

At Perk, we believe in empowering cross-functional teams that drive exceptional results for our customers and the company. We’re transforming how work gets done by eliminating tedious manual processes in travel, spend, and events.

As a Product Manager at Perk, you will play a pivotal role in driving innovation by identifying opportunities, shaping product strategy, and leading execution. You’ll work closely with customers, stakeholders, and lean product development teams to build best in class solutions for our users. We're looking for a Staff Product Manager to join the team and own the Billing product area.

Billing isn't just a back-office function for us; it's a strategic product area that directly impacts our ability to win in new markets and scale globally. Our billing platform enables finance teams to accurately analyse and forecast travel spend, the automation to streamline their accounting, and the accuracy to trust their financials. Thanks to our AI-powered invoice collection service and partner integrations, we help customers save thousands in VAT reclaims. We are on a mission to make complex financial operations feel effortless.

As the Staff Product Manager for Billing, you will own the vision, strategy, and execution for a product that is the financial engine of our business. You will transform complex challenges—from international tax compliance to AI-powered invoice data extraction—into a seamless, scalable, and intelligent billing platform. This is a mission-critical role where you will directly shape our commercial strategy, enhance customer trust, and build a key pillar of our competitive advantage.

What You’ll Do

• Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for our Spend ecosystem
• Drive high-velocity execution with a world class team of making bold, fast bets informed customer feedback, data, market research, and deep intuition for how AI can reshape how teams operate
• Use customer insights with technical possibilities, crafting intuitive user experiences that simplify the user experience
• Help millions of employees and thousands of finance teams seamlessly manage expenses, cards, and invoice processing.
• Prototype rapidly using tools like Claude and Cursor to accelerate the product development lifecycle and fast-forward to production-ready products.
• Stay deeply plugged into AI research, industry trends, and emergent applications, filtering signal from noise and applying it creatively to Perk products
• Empower Your Team:Lead with a servant-leadership approach help stay focused, remove distractions, and foster creativity and collaboration

What You’ll Need

• Experience That Counts: Significant experience in a tech company, with proven capability as a Product Manager. Experience working on a Tax product is a strong plus. Bonus if you have experience in development, design, or business roles (though not a must).
• Finance and accounting: You have a working knowledge of accounting reconciliation and finance operations.
• Strong customer empathy and design thinking, with a passion to understand the entire expense lifecycle — from the moment of spend inception through automated reconciliation to final posting in the ERP system — and the specific friction points unique to complex accounting workflows
• Fluency in data and how to make data-driven product decisions
• Experience evaluating product decisions and prioritization trade-offs
• Demonstrated ability to lead and influence small teams of engineers & designers toward a common goal
• Ability to collaborate with multiple stakeholders and large cross-functional teams
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Passion for AI, shown through hands‑on building, prototyping, or side projects, and staying current on research and tools.
• Fluency with modern prototyping tools (e.g. Cursor, Bolt, Claude Code) and comfort with design/collaboration environments like Figma and Git.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation including equity in the company
• Generous vacation days so you can rest and recharge
• Health perks such as private healthcare or gym allowance depending on your location
• "Flexible compensation plan" to help you diversify and increase the net salary
• Unforgettable Perk events including travel to one of our hubs
• Mental health support tool for your wellbeing
• Exponential growth opportunities

AI at Perk

AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you'll use day-to-day are AI-enabled so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work - the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do - so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.

How We Work

At Perk, we take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in-person 3 days a week. As such, this role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work.

For certain roles, we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office.

Perk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to make sure the people behind our product reflect that. We’re an equal opportunity employer, which means you’re welcome at Perk regardless of how you look, where you’re from, or anything else that makes you, well, you.
