About Light

Light is a Smart Financial Platform (an SFP; not ERP, read our manifesto) set to make it easy, efficient, and transparent for multinational tech companies to manage their finances.

Come join one of Europe's strongest FinTech teams with people from Pleo, Juni, Google, X, AWS, Spotify, Klarna, etc., who are building a new category.


Visa sponsorship available for exceptional candidates

This Product Manager role is focused on...

  • Owning 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.

  • Working directly with CFOs, controllers, and finance teams to uncover insights and shape new automation.

  • Making crisp, high-quality decisions — 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 could be

3–5 years of experience in one or more of the following:

  • Founding or operating at an early-stage startup

  • Management consulting (MBB or equivalent)

  • Investment banking, private equity, or strategy roles

  • Product/Engineering/Design in a high-growth startup

And the traits you’d have would be: 

  • 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 theorize.

  • 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.
