Product Manager - Reporting

Job Description

What do we do?

Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to managing payments infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a Merchant of Record for our customers. That means we take away 100% of the pain of payments fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, cheaper, and, above all, way better.

We’re backed by investors including KKR, FTV Capital, Kindred, Notion, and 83North and serve over 3000 software sellers in 245 territories globally.

The Role

Having a great product is only part of the journey. Software and SaaS businesses today experience a lot of frustration trying to sell their products when it comes to managing subscription plans, calculating local tax rates, handling trials, selling globally, or dealing with enterprise customers.

Paddle solves all that hassle with an integrated ecosystem of products and services that removes the friction experienced by software companies when selling their software globally. Our comprehensive suite of tools and services helps our customers expand revenue, reduce costs & reduce risk, whether they’re selling to individuals or large businesses alike. We empower efficient billing operations & handle things like tax, compliance & fraud, allowing our customers to focus on developing their product.

Tackling all the growing pains of selling software creates a lot of interesting challenges in product development - from the way we onboard customers to Paddle to how we empower them to run their businesses through data and other operational optimisations that we want to build into the platform. Reporting is a critical aspect of our platform, as it enables our customers to gain valuable insights into their sales, revenue and customer behaviour, as well as being vital to their financial reporting processes.

This is where you come in! We are looking for a smart and autonomous Product Manager with B2B SaaS experience and a passion for creating great experiences to:

• Help us realize our strategic vision of becoming the growth platform for SaaS software businesses.

• Own Reporting and Analytics in our platform, leading our efforts to provide our customers with effortless and insightful access to their data.

• Work as part of a cross-functional team (with engineers and a product designer) to deliver on these improvements.

We’re aiming to nurture a world-class product team that can help us build an industry-leading organisation. This is an opportunity for someone who wants to be part of something challenging and transformative, someone who will play a critical role in driving our success.

What you'll do:

• Identify opportunities: Conduct market, competitor and customer analysis, and work with other Departments at Paddle to gain a deep understanding of opportunities that would deliver value to customers or achieve our objectives. Help build a better understanding of our customer and user personas.

• Shape the roadmap: Own your team’s backlog, prioritization and roadmap to help achieve the business strategic objectives. But also use your product and market insights to shape the strategic direction of the product and business itself.

• Ship value often: Work cross-functionally with engineering and design; and develop appropriate planning, prioritization, and delivery processes to enable the launch of new features and products that deliver fast value to our software sellers. Help guide effective discovery of new initiatives, run agile workshops and facilitate prioritization conversations.

• Measurement and reporting: Analyse product performance using data, run beta tests or usability tests, and use your insights to determine when to upgrade, improve, revise, retire, or reposition products.

We'd love to hear from you if you are:

• You’re a forward-thinking Product professional who enjoys working in cross-functional teams alongside engineers, product designers, and other functions to deliver value to users through frequent product launches.

• You have a passion for data - you care what data is collected and why, and enjoy creating intuitive ways to work with it

• You have worked in a B2B SaaS environment and have created engaging and thoughtful customer experiences across the entire product lifecycle.

• You have a good understanding of technical concepts and can work closely with engineers to find the best solution to a problem.

• You have a natural affinity for product design and believe in user-centred design.

• You understand that measuring success through metrics is an important part of Product and you can draw insights from data to make sure we build the right products.

• You have experience moving into new markets, tracking changing customer requirements, or creating product-market-fit.

• You speak to your customers and find various ways to gather customer insights in order to build a world-class product.

• You take an iterative, logical and methodical approach to problem-solving, while still being innovative and creative.
