About Actuals.io
Actuals.io is redefining how high-volume businesses control and trust their financial data. Our SaaS platform automates transaction reconciliation across orders, payments and accounting, delivering unmatched visibility and audit-readiness in real time.
We serve industry leaders with high volume transactional businesses like Catawiki, Recharge and Just Eat Takeaway across Europe and North America. Our vision: to become the global leader in high-volume financial control, not just through tools, but by building a data-driven operating system for the modern finance function. The key value we bring to customers is a combination of peace of mind, spotting revenue leakage, faster & more accurate FinOps processes and real-time insights leading to actionable decisions. This vision entails making truthful, reliable data actionable and enabling embedded accounting, payouts, and billing, for example
The opportunity
We’re hiring our first full time Product owner to lead the charge on product development, usability, and customer impact.
You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, customer success and leadership, and you’ll be responsible for making the Actuals platform more self-service, scalable and loved by finance professionals and beyond. This is a pivotal role as we move from strong tech + founder-driven product towards a more scalable, fully self service, SaaS platform.
The starting point
We’ve validated the product over the last few years with multiple international high-volume customers across Europe & North America, proven we can deliver measurable financial control and built a flexible platform that handles real-world complexity. Our product sits at the heart of the financial engine for high-growth companies. Getting it right has huge implications for trust, accuracy and control. Our tech is strong and our 36 customers are sticky.
Now we’re ready for the next level: making the Actuals platform more intuitive, scalable, and accessible to finance, accounting and payments teams of all sizes. You’ll help us evolve from a high-touch, expert-led solution to a product-led platform that users love from day one. This means:
- Turning powerful workflows into beautifully simple UX
- Moving from bespoke onboarding to self-service product experiences
- Together with the CTO, CEO and Product Lead Vision & Innovation, define the roadmap to scale from dozens to hundreds of customers
- Laying the product management foundations: metrics, rituals, processes, and iteration loops
- Partnering closely with engineering and other teams to ship high-impact improvements fast and reliably
- Design from first principles: We're not shipping surface-level features, we're rethinking how finance data flows and how teams collaborate on truth
- You won’t just inherit a backlog, you’ll shape how product is done here. From roadmap to rituals
- You’ll grow as fast as we do
