The E-Invoicing area at Shine

To be the unifying engine of trust for E-Invoicing and E-Reporting at Shine. We act as the Group’s compliance gatekeeper, empowering every business division to scale effortlessly across global markets.

Mission We build scalable, compliance-ready infrastructure that abstracts the complexity of e-invoicing. By handling the regulatory "heavy lifting," we enable our business units—Enterprise, CPA/SME, and Shine—to focus purely on delivering customer value.

As part of Shine’s ambitious European roadmap, you will join a powerhouse of 40 talented professionals structured across four specialized areas: Onboarding, E-invoice Sending, E-invoice Reception, and E-Reporting.

Sitting within the Global Platform Organization, your impact is truly group-wide. You won't just build for one app; you will contribute to the foundational technology serving all business divisions across Europe. You will join the Shine PA squad, a top-tier, high-performance unit that serves as the critical backbone for our scalable product development.

The Setup

• Manager: You will report to Ying Zhang, Group Product Manager for the E-Invoicing Area.

• Collaboration: You will partner day-to-day with dedicated Engineering and Design counterparts in a high-velocity, cross-functional environment.

• The Squad: You lead a team of 1 Engineering Manager, 5 Software Engineers, and a dedicated Product Designer.
  

Your role as a (Senior) Product Manager

As a pivotal PM within the Global Platform>E-invoicing area>Shine PA squad, you will spearhead the strategy and delivery for a mission-critical squad. You are directly responsible for one of the Group’s top three strategic OKRs: delivering the definitive E-Invoicing solution for the French market (2026/2027) before expanding across Europe.

This role is 80% Backend / API-driven and 20% Frontend. You are the architect of the invisible flows that make the complex feel simple.

Key Responsibilities:

• Product Strategy & Vision: You don't just execute; you define. You will translate the "Global Platform" vision into a concrete product strategy for the Shine PA squad, ensuring our E-invoicing infrastructure becomes a competitive moat for Shine.

• High-Stakes Roadmap Ownership: You will build and manage a complex, multi-quarter roadmap and OKRs. You must balance the "immovable" deadlines of French regulatory cycles (2026/2027) with the long-term goal of modularizing the platform for international expansion.

• Ruthless Prioritization: Operating in a high-pressure environment with tight resources, you will make the hard calls. You’ll use data-driven frameworks to prioritize backend scalability, partner integrations, and user experience, ensuring the squad always works on the highest-leverage tasks.

• Strategic Partnerships: Own the technical and commercial integration with Serensia PA. You will leverage their endpoints to build the microservices that power our core product features.

• Cross-Functional Orchestration: Act as the "Platform Liaison," ensuring multiple feature squads are perfectly aligned with E-Invoicing requirements.

• User Journey Ownership: Direct the end-to-end Onboarding and Offboarding flows within the Shine app, ruthlessly optimizing for both user conversion and regulatory compliance.

• Regulatory Mastery: Translate high-stakes French and European regulations into seamless technical product requirements.

📍 Job located in Paris, Berlin, and Copenhagen, with possibility of two remote working days per week.

About you

• We are looking for an "Extreme Ownership" profile—someone who thrives when the stakes are high and the technical complexity is deep.

• Availability: Priority will be given to candidates who can start ASAP to hit our 2026 milestones.

• Experience: 3–5 years as a Product Manager or Entrepreneur. You must have a strong technical intuition and a basic understanding of API-first products.

• Execution: A proven track record of high-velocity delivery to stay on track for the release deadline.

• Communication: Professional fluency in English and French (C1 level minimum). You must be able to navigate complex French regulatory texts and lead technical discussions with French-speaking stakeholders.

• Stakeholder Management: Highly organized with the gravitas to manage senior leadership and external technical partners.
  
  Bonus Points:

• Deep domain expertise in E-Invoicing (PDP, PPF, or general Fintech compliance).

• Experience working in a "Platform" or "Enabler" product team.

As your manager, I will do the best I can to support you, help you get onboarded and help you grow!
