Senior Product Management Lead (f/m/d)

What You'll Be Up To

Own the platform vision Define the architectural direction for how Apaleo handles fiscal and compliance requirements across markets. Not just the next feature, but the underlying model that makes future integrations faster and cheaper. You write the vision, own the roadmap that delivers it, and are accountable when it doesn't get built.

Drive the design of a reusable fiscal integration framework that turns new-market integrations from bespoke engineering projects into scalable, configuration-driven workflows.

Partner closely with Engineering and Tech Leads on architectural decisions with multi-year platform implications.

Restructure the roadmap Within your first 90 days, build a structured 12-month roadmap that explicitly balances regulatory delivery, platform investment, and technical debt reduction. The team operates with a six-month forward view, not a reactive backlog.

Lead the Crew PM Manage the Senior PM within the turf with clear scope, direct feedback, and a real development path. Where the work is foundational or cross-cutting, you may own a crew directly.

Partner with the Product Compliance Leader Our compliance function owns regulatory intelligence and go-live sign-offs. You translate that into product decisions and push back when regulatory input has platform implications. Two complementary functions, one tight rhythm.

What You'll Bring to the Team

  • A track record of platform-level product strategy, not just feature delivery
  • Experience building the investment case for foundational engineering work and defending it under short-term pressure
  • Ability to drive architectural alignment with Engineering without line management authority
  • Comfortable operating in domains you're still learning, with a concrete plan to close gaps fast
  • Strong written and verbal communication in English; experience in compliance-adjacent or regulated software a plus
