Role Summary

We are looking for a Project Manager, Product Operations to build and run the processes that help us scale how we design, price, launch and improve our beloved AI products. This role sits at the intersection of Product, Go-to-Market (GTM), Business, Solutions and Finance teams. It's all about driving structure and alignment between everyone. You will lead several key product operations projects. For example, you will be the one making sure pricing discussions are well structured and crystal clear for everyone. You will also help GTM teams be equipped for product launches. You will also contribute to fluidifying our feedback loop across different channels to help us constantly improve our products. Over time, your scope will expand to broader product operations, including roadmap reviews, release processes and any kind of product related processes.

What You Will Do

Depending on your skills and field of expertise, you will be involved in key components of our technology, including:

• Product operations
• GTM enablement & alignment

About You

• Background: You've worked in Product Operations or Product Management roles in tech companies for at least 5 years. You know what good product processes look like and can adapt them to different stages of company growth.

• Project management excellence: You can manage multiple cross-functional workstreams simultaneously, set clear goals and hold teams accountable without formal authority.

• Problem-solving mindset: You're skilled at cutting through noisy conversations and helping teams focus on the 2–3 decisions that matter most. When different teams have conflicting visions, you can map out the trade-offs and propose a pragmatic path forward.

• Product process understanding: You're familiar with product workflows like PRDs, roadmaps and launches.

• Communication and influence: You can confidently facilitate meetings with different teams, synthesize complex topics into crisp outputs and create materials that resonate with both technical and business teams. Now, it would be ideal if you're comfortable with SaaS pricing concepts (like seat-based subscriptions, usage-based pricing, upsell paths) and can anticipate the downstream impact of pricing changes on Finance, Billing and GTM.

Location & Remote

This role is primarily based at our HQ in Paris, France. We will prioritize candidates who either reside in Paris or are open to relocating. We strongly believe in the value of in-person collaboration to foster strong relationships and seamless communication within our team. Our remote work policy is designed to offer flexibility, enhance work-life balance, and boost productivity. The number of remote workdays is determined by each manager, taking into account individual autonomy and specific circumstances—such as increased flexibility during the summer months. Regardless of the arrangement, we expect all employees to maintain open lines of communication with their teams and be available during core working hours. In certain specific situations, we will also consider remote candidates based in one of the countries listed in this job posting (currently France, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Spain and Italy). In that case, we ask all new hires to visit our Paris office: for the first month of their onboarding (accommodation and travelling covered) then at least 3 days per month.
