## Job description

Retire the ERP.

Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers—automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.

We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Keyshot. People don’t just use Light—they enjoy it.

We’re an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. If you’re excited to modernize how the world runs money—one workflow at a time—you’re in the right place.

Backed by world-class investors and advised by industry titans, we’re building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes.
Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.

### The Product Manager role

- Owning the delivery of 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 in alignment with engineering and go-to-market teams (Customer Success & Sales)

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

- Making crisp, high-quality decisions to deliver promptly and effectively: 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:

- Multi-disciplinary experience broadly in product development: either product, engineering or design in a high-growth SaaS and AI startup companies

- Ability to translate product vision and customer requirements into supportive guidance & direction for engineering teams

- Influential experience in stakeholder engagement and communication at leadership and delivery team level

- Practical experience using AI or emerging technology tools to improve productivity, insight, or decision-making, with the ability to apply first-principles thinking to new problems

### Your traits

- 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 theorise

- 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

- Operating or founding at an early-stage startup

- Management consulting (MBB or equivalent)

### What success looks like in your first 6–12 months

🧭 A sharp, insight-driven roadmap aligned with Light’s mission.

🚀 Key features shipped that simplify and speed up finance operations.

📊 Metrics-driven decision-making embedded in your product area.

🤝 Engineering and Design teams love working with you because things move.

💡 You’re known as a force multiplier — adding clarity, speed, and structure everywhere you go.

### Tips to stand out

- Show how you’ve created clarity or structure from scratch.

- Share examples of real outcomes — not just shipped features.

- Walk us through your decision frameworks and tradeoffs.

- Quantify your impact — adoption, growth, efficiency, or time saved.

### The good stuff

In addition to being part of a great team and working in a really fun and innovative environment, we offer:

💸 Competitive salary + potential stock options
🏝 25 days of annual leave + public holidays in the UK
🥳 Regular socials and company Starsite offsites
🚀 A huge opportunity for career growth as you will help shape a market-defining product

### The famous last words

Working at Light means you are embarking on an exciting journey to reshape the future of multinational financial operations. Our cheat-code is that we have built something like this before and are now doing it again, only better. Our goal is to make global finance effortless and empower companies to make informed decisions.

Join the rocket ship while it is taking off 🚀

**Live in Light Inc’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
