Head of Design

Pennylane is building the financial OS (Operating System) for European SMEs. A single source of truth for financial data, used on one side by entrepreneurs to run their business (invoicing and getting paid, paying suppliers and expense management, piloting cash and profitability) and on the other side by their accountant for bookkeeping and fiscal declarations.

Saving time for all entrepreneurs and accountants, helping them to make the right decisions and enabling 3rd parties to offer added-value personalised financial services.

We’ve launched in France and will expand to other markets in Continental Europe in 2023. Our commercial website is thus in French only but the code is obviously documented in English and our tech team speaks English.

We’re product-led, growing fast, backed by strong investors and are starting to hire software engineers anywhere in Europe, to join our experienced remote-first engineering team.

The company's HQ are in Paris, but the whole Product team is remote-first. You are thus free to work from wherever you want in Europe or work out of our central Paris office based in Liege.

In a nutshell: we are building the best financial management and accounting software for continental Europe and changing the life of entrepreneurs and accounting firms.

Our design team has scaled up from 4 to 15 people since January 2022. We have now built strong teams and looking for an experienced leader to help shape the department and take it to the next level. 

We currently have 2 tracks of 6 squads each with 1 Product Designer per squad (from junior to senior) and 2 Lead Designers per track to manage people and bring quality and consistency in the delivery.

The Product Design team is integrated into the product entity, alongside Product Managers. In order to build balanced duo for our squads, we've made sure that our Product Design ratio to a number of Product Managers is 1:1.
