Strategic Project Manager

Pennylane is one of Europe's fastest-growing fintechs, building the financial operating system for SMBs and their accountants. Growth at our pace creates a constant stream of high-stakes, cross-functional initiatives that don't sit neatly inside any one team. This role owns those initiatives. You'll work directly with the VP Strategic Initiatives (and, through him, the executive committee) to take our most important initiatives from a blank page to a shipped outcome.

Responsibilities

Lead selected priority initiatives end-to-end; Framing the problem: turn an ambiguous executive ambition into a structured plan; Driving the work: coordinate the product, commercial, finance, and ops teams needed to deliver; Doing the analysis yourself: build the models, pull the data, and pressure-test the numbers; Keeping the ExCo close: report progress, risks, and recommendations crisply and often

Requirements

5–10 years in top-tier management consulting and/or a VC-backed scale-up, with a track record of owning complex projects to completion in a fast-moving environment; Exceptional analytical capabilities — you're fluent with data and models, and you use them to sharpen decisions, not decorate them; Structured thinker and clear communicator who can make a complex trade-off legible to an executive audience in a page or a slide; Genuinely comfortable with ambiguity: strong judgment, a bias to action, and the maturity to prioritize hard; Fluent in French and English; To speak English (level is assessed and appreciated according to the department you’re applying to); To be energized by an ever-shifting work environment; To be highly collaborative (within your team or other stakeholders); Sufficiently experienced to prioritize business-led actions on your day to day activity
