1st Product Manager @Okko (eFounders)

About Okko

The way employees make purchases in companies is completely broken.

Whether it's for SaaS, hardware, services (such as consulting or marketing), or events, the average B2B purchase takes more than 60 days, requires 50+ emails, and involves many parties (IT, legal, compliance, finance, etc.).

Nobody likes this manual process; it slows businesses down and positions the procurement function as a "hindrance to progress." Finance and accounting people use ERP or P2P tools but their UX is poor and completely outdated.

We are building the go-to platform that will manage the entire purchasing process. With Okko, we are on a mission to:

• give employees (internal buyers) a single and a self-guided front-door to easily create a request
• provide procurement process managers with a no-code solution to manage approval workflows and integrate with business tools in a few clicks (e.g. Yousign for legal, Greenly for ESG, Netsuite for ERP, etc.)
• create a productive space for every stakeholders to work on purchasing project with centralized context
• create analytical dashboards to meet the growing strategic needs of procurement teams, particularly in terms of security, data privacy, and environmental issues (zero-carbon policy)

Our long-term ambition is to revolutionize B2B purchases and create a B2B purchasing experience equivalent to buying a book on Amazon! 💥

About the role

As our first Product Manager, you will be responsible for defining and executing the product vision and roadmap.

You will work closely with Julien & Robin, the tech team, and eFounders’s design team to find out the best opportunities to work on, and “design” the most (impactful vs easy to implement) solutions.

Your key responsibilities:

• Develop & maintain a comprehensive product roadmap that aligns with company goals and objectives
• Work closely with design team to ensure our product offers a superior UX - and contribute with wireframes
• Collaborate with the engineering team to define & prioritize solutions, and ensure that products are delivered on time and of a high level of quality
• Define business & product metrics to measure success and enable pragmatic iterations

🤩 Is that you?

We believe willingness to improve, to tackle issues & resilience are more important than existing hard skills.

That being said, some non-exhaustive stuff we’d like to see in you:

• 3+ years of experience in Product Management. A previous experience in SaaS B2B is a plus.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: you are a problem solver, think out of the box & enjoy working on an early stage product
• Delivery adept: you know how to run a proficient product and delivery process
• Instruct & learn: pedagogy matters to you, and you’re eager to both teach others and learn from others - no matter the seniority
• Embrace “conflict”: you feel like having divergent opinions will help us find better solutions together
• Whiteboard lover: you feel there is never enough whiteboards and always want to wireframe when you’re explaining your ideas.

Benefits

• Challenging work experience building and owning an ambitious product
• Competitive compensation and equity package
• Awesome colleagues with high ambitions
• A strong product and technical culture
• Lovely offices located in the heart of Paris + remote-friendly environment
