ABOUT THE ROLE

As Head of Product – Partners & Workflows (m/f/d), you will lead a cross-functional product group that owns the systems and interfaces powering scale, automation, and partner enablement across Pliant’s platform. You’ll manage multiple PMs and shape the roadmap for the following areas:

• User and member management: account hierarchies, permissions, and access control
• Workflow automation: approval chains, task flows, lifecycle events, and internal tooling
• Accounting automations and integrations: syncing with tools like DATEV, Xero, and other systems across markets
• Partner platform: APIs and user interfaces enabling white-label use cases and Cards-as-a-Service (including the Partner Portal)
• APIs: all customer- and partner-facing public APIs used for self-service and integration
  
  

This is a foundational product area, the internal backbone of Pliant’s scale and the interface layer for our customers and partners. You'll report directly to the CPO and work closely with Engineering, Design, Sales, Partner Success, and fellow Product leaders.

This is a hands-on leadership role that balances team development, roadmap ownership, technical depth, and system design, all with an eye toward extensibility and long-term platform thinking.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for user management, workflows, accounting automation, public APIs, and partner enablement across 25+ international markets
• Lead and scale a team of PMs, supporting their growth while staying closely involved in high-impact product decisions
• Drive the design and development of modular platform capabilities — including APIs, admin tooling, configuration systems, and shared services
• Ensure extensibility and reusability of core platform features to support multiple product groups and partner use cases
• Collaborate with engineering on platform architecture and integration strategies, maintaining high standards for system design
• Work closely with go-to-market and partner success teams to support embedded finance use cases and ensure smooth onboarding
• Develop and track metrics around workflow adoption, API usage, automation coverage, partner integration success, and internal tooling efficiency
• Support strategic customer and partner conversations when technical product input is required
  
  

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• 8+ years of product experience, with 3+ years in product leadership roles
• Background in B2B SaaS, tech platforms, or infrastructure products — ideally with API, integration, or workflow ownership
• Solid technical foundation, able to discuss APIs, architecture, and platform design with engineering peers
• Experience building internal tooling or platform services that serve multiple product teams and external partners
• Prior exposure to accounting tools, workflow engines, or role-based permission systems is a plus
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Fluent in English; Berlin or London is strongly preferred, but open to remote within the EU
