Staff Product Manager - Billing (VAT)

About the role

At Perk, we believe in empowering cross-functional teams that drive exceptional results for our customers and the company. We’re transforming how work gets done by eliminating tedious manual processes in travel, spend, and events.

As a Product Manager at Perk, you will play a pivotal role in driving innovation by identifying opportunities, shaping product strategy, and leading execution. You’ll work closely with customers, stakeholders, and lean product development teams to build best in class solutions for our users. We're looking for a Staff Product Manager to join the team and own the Billing product area.

Billing isn't just a back-office function for us; it's a strategic product area that directly impacts our ability to win in new markets and scale globally. Our billing platform enables finance teams to accurately analyse and forecast travel spend, the automation to streamline their accounting, and the accuracy to trust their financials. Thanks to our AI-powered invoice collection service and partner integrations, we help customers save thousands in VAT reclaims. We are on a mission to make complex financial operations feel effortless.

As the Staff Product Manager for Billing, you will own the vision, strategy, and execution for a product that is the financial engine of our business. You will transform complex challenges—from international tax compliance to AI-powered invoice data extraction—into a seamless, scalable, and intelligent billing platform. This is a mission-critical role where you will directly shape our commercial strategy, enhance customer trust, and build a key pillar of our competitive advantage.

• Experience That Counts: At least 7 years in a tech company, with at least 5 years as a Product Manager. Experience working on a Tax product is a strong plus. Bonus if you have experience in development, design, or business roles (though not a must).
• Finance and accounting: You have a working knowledge of accounting reconciliation and finance operations.
• Strong customer empathy and design thinking, with a passion to understand the entire expense lifecycle — from the moment of spend inception through automated reconciliation to final posting in the ERP system — and the specific friction points unique to complex accounting workflows
• Fluency in data and how to make data-driven product decisions
• Experience evaluating product decisions and prioritization trade-offs
• Demonstrated ability to lead and influence small teams of engineers & designers toward a common goal
