Job description

Europe's first full-stack AI financial services company

We merge best-in-class financial technology; banking, payments, invoicing, accounting, payroll and tax with embedded expert advisory services.

We are the force-multiplier. Our system continuously learns from our customers, which means every workflow becomes faster, more accurate and more automated over time saving our customers 100+ hours a year of time wasted on admin.

Our team is made up of ambitious, unapologetically curious, slightly crazy ex-founders, fintech operators, AI engineers, creatives and corporate finance experts from the big4 from all over the world. We’re serious about excellence, but we’re anything but boring: on weekends you might find us at techno parties, wine tastings, football matches or training new models for fun.

If you thrive in a high-commitment, high-reward culture and want the autonomy to deliver your best work, this will be the most exciting team you ever join.

Neno is backed by Firstminute Capital, Motive Partners and angels from Miro, Coinbase, Mollie, Juni, Deel, Navro, Copper, Wise & PayPal.

The role

We are looking for an (Associate) Product Manager to join our engineering team and help shape the product that is redefining financial services for European SMEs. This is an early and high-leverage role: you will work alongside our VP of Product & VP of Engineering and directly with the CEO to translate customer problems into exceptional product experiences spanning AI‑powered accounting workflows, embedded banking, invoicing, payroll and tax.

This role is for someone who is analytically sharp, deeply curious about financial services & AI, and ready to move fast without losing precision.

What this role is not

Your job is going to be everything but easy or straight‑lined. You will be required to context switch, think for yourself, problem‑solve and sometimes work more than the required hours to get high‑priority projects over the line. Building a company like neno is fun, and we celebrate the wins and learn from the losses and never repeat the same mistakes. This is what it takes to win. And we only want to win.

What impact you will have

• Own the discovery, definition and delivery of features across Neno’s core product surface
• Be the voice of the customer inside the engineering team grounding every sprint in customer user pain.
• Drive a data‑led product process: from hypothesis to experiment to measurement.
• Work with our chartered accountants and AI engineers to shape AI‑powered workflows that genuinely change how SMEs run their finances.
• Maintain tight alignment between product roadmap, commercial priorities and investor milestones.

Responsibilities

Product Discovery & Definition

• Conduct continuous discovery via customer interviews and data analysis to identify the highest‑value problems to solve
• Write clear, precise PRDs that engineering can execute against without ambiguity
• Prioritise ruthlessly within a fast‑moving roadmap and communicate trade‑offs clearly.

Delivery & Execution

• Track delivery against milestones and surface blockers early.
• QA features against spec before they ship, you set the bar.

AI‑Native Product Thinking

• Use AI tools (e.g., Claude) daily for research synthesis, spec drafting, data analysis and workflow design.
• Actively explore how AI can be embedded deeper into Neno’s product to improve automation rates.
• Champion the AI‑native product philosophy internally and with customers.

Commercial Alignment

• Work closely with Sales and Customer Success to understand friction points in onboarding, activation and retention
• Translate commercial insights into product improvements and measure their impact

What we’re looking for

Experience

• 2+ years as a product manager, or 3+ years in a product‑adjacent role: think product marketing, product operations or consulting at a product‑led business – ideally high‑growth SaaS or FinTech.
• Experience working closely with engineering teams in an agile environment.
• Exposure to AI/ML products or a strong desire to work deeply in this space.
• Background in financial services or accounting is a strong plus.

Skills

• Strong problem‑solving skills: both quantitative and qualitative
• Excellent written communication, your specs are clear, your stakeholder updates are crisp
• Ability to context‑switch between technical, commercial and user‑facing conversations
• Experience with product discovery: you have an opinion on Marty Cagan’s Inspired or Teresa Torres’ Continuous Discovery

Mindset

• You use AI tools as part of your daily workflow, not as a novelty
• You are precise and detail‑oriented: you catch what others miss
• You are humble enough to do the unglamorous work and confident enough to challenge assumptions
• You want to grow into a Senior PM or Head of Product as neno scales

What we give you

• 💻 The latest equipment & software licenses to run as many agents as you need
• 🤠 An incredibly smart, hardworking and humble team that constantly supports your growth
• 🏝 Work from anywhere in the world for 8 weeks a year within a 3‑hour timezone
• 💸 A competitive salary + stock options
• 🏝 25 days of annual leave + public holidays in the country where you are based
• 🥳 Regular socials and company off‑sites in questionably exotic destinations
• 🚀 A huge opportunity for career growth as you help shape a market‑defining company across Europe

What you’re signing up for

Before applying for this role, carefully think about what you are committing to. The interview process is demanding for the very reason that we seek the top 1 % of candidates. Building neno means embarking on an exciting journey to reshape the future of AI‑native financial services. The opportunity is massive, and the road to get there is challenging. You will often have to step out of your comfort zone and willingly take on tasks outside your job spec.
