In Portugal, with offices in Lisbon, Oporto and Evora we’re one of the leading audit and advisory firms, counting with a team of more than 1.900 professionals that combine unmatched experience and specialized skills across industries and business functions, to deliver top notch services to our clients.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We’re hiring Platform Product Manager for Sapphirus — roles that demand platform thinking, abstraction, and strong technical fluency. Candidates from certain companies will have highly transferable skills, because they’ve already worked in low-code, automation, or configurable platform environments.

In order to join our team, you must have:

• BA/BSc Degree in Engineer, Technology or similar;
• 6+ years as Product Manager in a SaaS or platform startup, with a platform mindset or strong technical fluency;
• You’re an Experienced Engineer/Developer or Technical Founder/Architect who gravitates toward product design and systems thinking;
• You’ve been a Solution or Pre-Sales Consultant in platform products (low-code, automation, highly configurable systems) and want to move from showing what’s possible to designing it;
• Fluency in English;
• Core skills: abstraction & systems thinking; problem decomposition & written-first clarity; technical fluency & effective use of AI;
• Personal traits: high standards, pragmatism, critical thinking, dependability, and energy & drive.

Key responsibilities:

• Translate vague asks into structured deliverables – take problems, backlog items, and stakeholder inputs and reframe them into clear problem statements, structured design briefs, and deliverable feature definitions;
• Balance reuse with pragmatism – decide what should be abstracted for reuse versus solved pragmatically for speed, always weighing short-term delivery needs against long-term platform leverage;
• Author written-first work packages – produce vision briefs and structured work packages that define concepts, models, scope, and acceptance criteria in a durable, written-first format;
• Ensure feasibility and alignment – partner with architects, engineers, and compliance SMEs to ensure designs are both implementable and aligned to common patterns and use cases observed across clients and domains;
• Uphold platform thinking – spot patterns, make trade-offs, and ensure designs stay coherent with existing turbines, services, and ontologies across the Sapphirus ecosystem;
• Champion reusability – act as the voice of reusability, holding the line against one-off solutions while communicating trade-offs in stakeholders can understand;
• Be opinionated about functional design – take ownership of functional designs, create mock-ups and flows to facilitate conversations, and make the product vision more concrete and tangible for both business and technical stakeholders;
• Abstraction, pattern recognition & systems thinking – spotting what’s repeatable, designing for reuse, and ensuring coherence across the platform, particularly in B2B enterprise environments where complexity and integration depth are high;
• Problem decomposition & communication clarity – breaking vague requirements into structured deliverables, and documenting them in a written-first way that others can build on;
• Technical fluency & AI leverage – understanding data models, APIs, and integration patterns well enough to design implementable solutions, and using AI tools as an amplifier in exploration and analysis.

And you must be:

• Positive, respectful, inclusive and embrace collective success;
• Focused in developing scalable and sustainable solutions;
• Have a mind for addressing compliance (welcome to the big-4 red-tape).
