We're hiring a Product Manager who deeply understands accounting to own the Accounting & Finance Automation pillar within our Finance Operating System. This role will define how global finance teams manage corporate spend data, maintain financial accuracy, integrate with their existing systems, and handle compliance-eliminating hundreds of hours of manual work each month.

You will own the product experience for accountants, controllers, and finance teams who use Jeeves to manage corporate spend across 20+ countries. This requires deep knowledge of accounting principles (GAAP/IFRS), how finance organizations operate, multi-jurisdiction compliance requirements, and the financial workflows that matter most to our customers.

You will combine accounting expertise with product management craft-using your understanding of how finance teams work to identify high-impact problems, translate complex requirements into elegant product solutions, and leverage AI to transform manual processes into automated workflows that accountants trust.

Because our customers operate across LatAm, the US, and Europe-with diverse organizational structures, cross-border operations, and varying regulatory requirements-we strongly prefer candidates based in Mexico, Colombia, or Brazil who understand these regional nuances.

Location: This role is based out of Bogotá, Colombia, and is a full-time remote position where it is also possible to come into our office in the Parque de la 93 area on a flexible schedule. #LI-REMOTE

What you will do:

Accounting Domain Expertise:

• Own the accounting user experience end-to-end: Design products that accountants, controllers, and finance teams use daily to manage spend data, maintain financial accuracy, and ensure compliance.
• Deeply understand accounting workflows: How finance teams process transactions, manage data flows, ensure accuracy, and meet regulatory requirements. Understand what "correct" means in an accounting context and why precision matters.
• Navigate multi-jurisdiction complexity: Design for customers operating across different countries, each with unique regulatory frameworks, compliance requirements, and business practices. Understand how accounting needs vary across LatAm, US, and Europe.
• Champion data accuracy and audit-ability: Every feature you build must maintain proper audit trails, ensure data integrity, and support compliance requirements. Understand the downstream consequences of errors in financial data.

AI-Powered Automation:

• Identify high-impact automation opportunities: Find where finance teams lose hours to repetitive, manual work, and determine where AI can transform workflows. Start from the user's pain, not from the technology.
• Balance AI capabilities with accounting precision: Understand when AI-powered automation is appropriate vs. when deterministic rules are required. Know that errors in financial data have real consequences for reporting, audits, and compliance.
• Prototype and validate AI solutions: Personally test AI-powered approaches to validate whether they actually work before committing engineering resources. Build quick proof-of-concepts to assess feasibility.
• Ship AI features that accountants trust: Build transparency into AI decisions, enable easy overrides, and maintain human-in-the-loop workflows where precision matters. Understand that trust is earned through accuracy and reliability.

System Integration & Data Architecture:

• Own the integration strategy: Define how Jeeves connects with ERP systems, accounting software, and other platforms that finance teams rely on. Ensure data flows seamlessly across systems.
• Design for flexibility and configuration: Build systems that adapt to different customer setups, organizational structures, and business requirements. Understand that no two finance teams operate exactly the same way.
• Ensure data integrity end-to-end: Every transaction must reconcile. Design features that prevent errors, handle edge cases gracefully, and provide clear visibility when issues arise.

Customer Discovery & Requirements Gathering:

• Be the expert on customer needs: Conduct regular interviews with controllers, accountants, finance managers, and CFOs to understand pain points in their current workflows.
• Partner with customer finance teams: Shadow their processes, understand their requirements, and learn the nuances of how they work. Translate what you observe into actionable insights.
• Convert pain into product vision: Transform qualitative feedback and workflow observations into clear product opportunities. Understand not just what customers say they need, but what they actually need.

Data Analysis & Insight Generation:

• Track adoption and impact metrics: Measure how customers use the product, where they struggle, and what drives value. Build dashboards that diagnose problems and surface opportunities.
• Analyze workflow data: Identify patterns in customer behavior, common pain points, and opportunities for improvement. Use data to validate hypotheses before committing resources.
• Build business cases: Quantify the ROI of product investments-hours saved for customers, error reduction, improved workflows, and business impact.

Strategy & Vision:

• Define the product roadmap: Build a clear point of view on where the market is heading, how customer needs are evolving, and how Jeeves should win in accounting automation.
• Understand the competitive landscape: Track how competitors are solving accounting and finance workflows; identify gaps, differentiation opportunities, and emerging trends.
• Stay current on the domain: Understand how changes in accounting standards, regulatory requirements, technology platforms, and customer expectations impact product requirements.

Communication & Stakeholder Management:

• Speak multiple languages: Translate between accounting domain expertise and technical implementation. Bridge the gap between what finance teams need and what engineering teams build.
• Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with Sales, Customer Success, Engineering, Design, and leadership. Enable teams across the organization to understand the value you're building and why it matters.
• Create high-quality written artifacts: Write strategy memos, product specs, business cases, and post-mortems that drive alignment and enable faster decision-making.

Why This Role Matters

Accounting and finance workflows in spend management are fundamentally broken. Finance teams spend dozens of hours per month on repetitive manual work that should be automated. This isn't just inefficiency-it delays financial reporting, introduces errors, and frustrates talented professionals who should be focused on strategic work, not data entry.

As our Accounting & Finance Automation PM, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Transform how finance teams work for 5,000+ global businesses
• Build AI-powered solutions that finance professionals actually trust and adopt
• Solve complex multi-market problems across LatAm, US, and Europe
• Shape the future of financial automation in spend management

If you're passionate about accounting and finance, love building products that solve real workflow problems, and want to use technology to transform how finance teams work-we'd love to talk to you.
