Design at Pennylane

Design sits at the centre of this mission and its purpose is to deliver a accessible, seamless and enjoyable experience for our two main users. Our team of 40+ Product Designers work across different Tracks that are divided into cross-functional squads, each consisting of Engineering, Product and Design. Autonomy, trust and transparency are the key values upon which our culture is built, this is directly reflected in how our designers operate on a day-to-day basis. At Pennylane, designers are expected to actively contribute all the way from defining the problem space, to research and testing.

Team and context

We are seeking a  Senior Product Design Manager for the Accounting Track, with a strong strategic and design mindset, who has extensive experience working in complex Product environments.

We are looking for someone with proven experience working directly with C-level executives and executive committees. You have the ability to simplify complex topics, communicate clearly with senior stakeholders, and naturally adapt your presence and influence in high-stakes discussions.

As a Senior Product Design Manager at the track level, you'll directly report to the Accounting Head of Product (Emmanuel Hosanski) and you will have the opportunity to mentor and lead a team of 3 talented Product Design Managers on a daily basis ("manager of managers"). Our organisation is growing fast and you could also take the responsibility of managing few ICs (Product Designers) belonging to newly created tracks, while our organisation stabilizes.

You'll be working closely with the Accounting Head of Product and the Accounting Head of Engineering, as well as collaborating with the other track’s Senior Product Design Managers.

Pennylane is based in Paris but our Design team is remote-friendly. The team meets in Paris a few days every two months.

What do we do to make your work life easier

You'll be able to work remotely from your country of residence, as long as it is in Europe and within a maximum time difference of two hours from the CET time zone

Wherever you are based, you will get 25 vacations days paid by Pennylane

You’ll have a competitive compensation package

You'll get company shares to enjoy a piece of the success story you're building with us

You’ll have a budget to turn your home into a more comfortable workspace, as well as a monthly allowance to work from a coworking space whenever you feel like it

Through our partner Gymlib, you’ll have access to 8000 fitness spaces in Europe and more than 300 activities related to wellness

You’ll have access to  Busuu  to perfect your English or your French

You’ll get the latest Apple equipment

We are committed to regularly coming together for company events such as Pennylane Days (which bring remote Pennylaners together every 3 months) or our annual company seminar, fostering significant moments of cohesion for everyone.

If you are based in France, you will have a French contract following French regulation on top of the additional perks : 6 to 12 RTT, 5 weeks PTOs, lunch credits (Swile), Alan Blue healthcare cover and regular events in cities where Pennylaners are mostly presents (Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes…)

We're working on providing those last advantages to our people based outside of France as well, but it can be quite more complex depending on different countries.
