• Own the Global Year-End strategy and roadmap — from closing preparation to signed annual accounts
• Build the closing workflow — checklists, period locks, review and sign-off between advisor and client, all in one place.
• Automate the standard adjustments — accruals and deferrals, provisions, inventory and year-end reconciliations, so advisors spend their time on judgement, not data entry.
• Build one year-end engine, not three products — define what is shared (closing workflow, adjustment framework, statement model) and what is local (GAAP rules, charts of accounts such as SKR03/SKR04, taxonomies, filing formats).
• Own the handoff to Global Tax — define the contract between approved accounts and tax returns so figures flow through without re-keying.
• Serve two segments on one engine — a first priority comprehensive solution for tax advisors and CPAs, and a second priority simplified, guided closing for business owners in Shine Micro.
• Make AI a core capability — anomaly detection in the books, suggested closing entries, automated year-end reconciliations and draft explanations that advisors can review and approve.
• Run deep discovery with advisors — shadow Kanzleien during closing season, map where time is lost today, and turn that into a sharp, prioritised backlog.
• Orchestrate across the ecosystem — partner closely with Global Tax, Core Accounting, Advisor, the common ledger teams and the local products in France, Germany and Spain.

• You are a seasoned product manager — 5+ years building complex B2B SaaS, ideally in accounting, ERP, tax or other regulated domains, with a track record of taking products from discovery to adoption.
• You have good accounting fundamentals — you have a good understand of double-entry bookkeeping, charts of accounts, and how a ledger turns into financial statements.
• You think in platforms — you can separate what is shared from what is local across countries and turn that into a scalable engine.
• You are technically fluent — comfortable discussing data models, ledger integrations, taxonomies and APIs with engineers.
• You are AI-fluent — you use AI in your own workflow and think critically about where AI should change how closing work gets done.
• You care about precision — annual accounts must be correct, auditable and trusted, and you design for that.
• You communicate clearly — with engineers on system design, with advisors on workflow needs, and with leadership on trade-offs.
• You are fluent in English;
• Будет плюсом: German is a big plus
