Job description

We’re on a mission to become the go-to destination for students across Europe to find a trusted home away from home. We make every step of the rental journey simple and seamless, so students can focus on what really matters: studying, exploring, and growing.

With HousingAnywhere, Kamernet, and Studapart under our roof, we’re Europe’s largest student rental platform.

You’ll find us in Rotterdam, Paris, and Cergy, always guided by our four core values: Ownership, We are enablers, We are changemakers, and We are connectors.

Join us in empowering students unlock their potential through a safe, online, rental experience.

We're looking for an experienced Product Manager to build the engines that power HousingAnywhere’s growth.

In this role, you will treat our core business capabilities - from financial infrastructure to marketing technology - as high-value products. You will bridge the gap between technical complexity and business strategy, ensuring that our internal teams (Marketing, Finance, Sales, Trust & Safety) have the scalable tools they need to succeed. You aren't just maintaining "backend systems"; you are defining the product vision for how money moves, how risk is managed, and how our teams operate efficiently across our multi-brand ecosystem. You will shape how AI enters our internal operations -- from document intelligence to risk automation -- turning emerging capabilities into durable platform advantage.

Your role and impact

• Commercial & Admin Enablement: Manage our internal Admin Panel and other tooling as a core product. You will build new workflows and tools that Sales and Managed Accounts teams use daily, exploring where AI-assisted workflows can reduce manual effort, and optimizing them for speed and ease of use to support high-volume operations.
• Growth, Marketing & CRM Infrastructure: Partner with the Marketing teams to treat our customer lifecycle stack as a product. You will define the roadmap for attribution, affiliate networks, and CRM integrations, ensuring we have the technical capability to scale user acquisition profitably and manage customer relationships effectively.
• Data & Infrastructure Foundation: Collaborate with Engineering to ensure our platform infrastructure and data pipelines are robust. You ensure our data pipelines are clean, accurate, and structured to power both operational decision-making and the AI models that depend on them.
• Financial Infrastructure: Own the domain of Payments & Payouts. You will ensure compliant, scalable money flows (pay-ins/pay-outs/billing) and build the tools our Finance Ops team needs for reconciliation. You will drive our move toward AI-powered KYC/KYB processes, reducing manual review while ensuring regulatory compliance across markets.
• Trust, Safety & Risk: Champion the strategy for platform integrity. You will determine the right product balance between high security (2FA, verification, anti-fraud) and low friction, protecting our users and brand reputation without hurting conversion rates. You will work with Engineering to deploy risk-scoring models that detect fraudulent activity at scale.

Your profile

• Professional Experience: 5+ years of experience in product management, ideally in a Marketplace, FinTech, or SaaS environment.
• Strategic Mindset: You're able to think strategically about the product’s long-term vision while also paying meticulous attention to the details of execution.
• Problem-Solving Ability: You're a true problem solver with strong analytical capabilities. You're able to manage multiple, often competing, priorities effectively.
• Cross-Functional Communication: You act as the bridge between diverse internal teams. You excel at translating complex requirements into shared goals; collaborating with Marketers on attribution, aligning with Finance on reconciliation, and partnering with Security on risk, ensuring everyone moves in the same direction.
• Outcome Orientation: You measure success by business impact (e.g., "reduced fraud by 10%", "improved payout speed by 20%"), not just by the number of features shipped.
• AI Fluency: You've experimented with AI tools in your own work -- whether for analysis, workflow automation, or product experimentation -- and you're motivated to go deeper. You understand AI well enough to evaluate what to build, buy, or prompt.
• Stakeholder Empathy: You view internal teams as your customers. You are skilled at saying "no/not now" to low-value requests to focus on the initiatives that truly move the needle for the company.
• Technical Depth: You think in systems. You understand integrations, data flows, and platform architecture well enough to spot bad estimates, ask the right questions, and push back when a proposed solution won't scale.
• Data-Driven Approach: You are data-informed, using insights to guide your decisions. Experience with event-based analytics tools such as Mixpanel or Amplitude is a big plus.

What’s in it for you

• Depending on experience and qualifications, the salary range is €69.600 – €97.400 gross per year (based on 40 hours, including Holiday Allowance).
• Unlimited paid holidays, minimum-based not maximum!
