About the role

Are you looking for a stimulating professional environment based on autonomy and trust?

Pennylane offers you the opportunity to grow within a fast-growing company.

Here, your expertise will directly help entrepreneurs take control of their finances. Discover a place where your skills are valued and where you can shape the future of financial management.

What you'll do

Specifically, you'll be responsible for:

  • Defining and executing the tech partner strategy, aligned with the Connectivity and Pennylane vision

  • Structuring, hiring and growing the team according to the roadmap

  • Building our tech partner program (tiering, incentives, certifications, associated benefits)

  • Turning tech partnerships into a revenue and qualified lead generation engine (in coordination with Sales)

  • Positioning Pennylane as a leader in the ecosystem (partner events, community, marketplace)

  • Supporting the international expansion of our integrations network

  1. Drive the strategy and partner program — Define tiering, eligibility criteria, benefits and success KPIs (ARR generated, qualified leads, active joint customers)

  2. Manage the partner pipeline — Qualify opportunities, prioritize high-potential partnerships, nurture relationships with strategic partners (inbound and outbound flow)

  3. Drive partnership revenue — Structure commercial agreements, track lead pipelines generated by partners, manage monetization of integrations

  4. Scale through AI and automation — Reduce time-to-release, deploy self-onboarding tools (dev portal, partner portal) and embed AI into daily processes (support, documentation, automation)

  5. Work cross-functionally — Collaborate closely with Product, Marketing and Sales to maximize the impact of integrations (enablement, GTM, adoption)

  6. Build and grow the team — Manage Partner Managers and Solution Engineers, hire according to strategic needs

  7. Own the KPIs — % of equipped customers, MRR attributed to partners, qualified leads generated, certification rate, active usage per connector

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in Business Development, Partnerships or Alliances — ideally in a B2B SaaS scale-up

  • Experience in technology alliances and API integrations (not just commercial partnerships) — you know what a webhook, a REST API, or an SDK is

  • Proven track record in structuring a partner program (tiering, contracts, incentives)

  • Strong business acumen: you think in terms of ROI, pipeline and generated revenue

  • Leadership and team management: you've already managed BD/Partnership profiles and know how to grow a team

  • Excellent negotiation and relationship-building skills with both technical and business contacts

  • Fluent French + professional English (minimum)

Nice to have

  • Knowledge of the French accounting/financial ecosystem (ERP, invoicing, payroll, etc.)

  • Experience in managing a marketplace or app store

  • Experience with international launches (Germany and/or Spain, a plus)

  • Proficiency with tools like Salesforce, Crossbeam, or equivalent

  • Comfortable with generative AI in daily work (Dust, Lemlist, LinkedIn Sales Navigator…)

What you'll get

🎁 What we can offer you:

🏥 One of the best health insurance plans on the market (Alan Blue and Alan Mind)

🍜 Meal vouchers (Swile card)

🏝 Between 6 and 12 additional RTT days on top of the 5 weeks of paid leave

🧑‍💻 A dedicated monthly budget for all our Pennylaners, supporting working from home or coworking spaces

🏢 Easy access to our offices, located a few minutes from Saint Lazare in the heart of Paris

💵 A BSPCE allocation

🏃‍♀️ Access to 8,000 gyms across France and more than 300 wellness activities via our partner Gymlib

💻 A Mac

🎉 We play many sports together and are committed to regularly gathering around company events such as Tech Days (which allow remote Pennylaners to meet every 3 months) or our annual company seminar, fostering great moments of cohesion for everyone.

How you'll work

To thrive at Pennylane, you'll need:

-Speak English (the level is assessed and valued depending on the department you apply to)

-Enjoy working in a constantly changing environment

-Make collaboration a priority within your team or with other stakeholders

-Have enough perspective to prioritize high-impact business actions in your daily activity.

About the company & team

Our vision

Our ambition is to become the preferred financial management software for European SMEs.

We help entrepreneurs get rid of time-consuming accounting and finance tasks, while giving them access to key financial information to help them make the best decisions for their business.

At the same time, we help accounting firms spend less time on redundant and repetitive tasks, and more time on advisory and client support.

About Pennylane

Pennylane is one of the fastest-growing FinTechs in France, and aims to soon address the European market.

In 5 years of existence, we have managed to:

💻 Position ourselves in the market as an innovative accounting and financial management software provider

💰 Raise a total of €400 million from renowned investors, including Sequoia, the flagship Silicon Valley fund known for backing Google, Facebook, Airbnb, Stripe, Paypal and many others in their early days

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Grow from 7 co-founders to a team of 1,200 employees, with an average rating of 4.9/5 on Glassdoor and 94% of Glassdoor reviewers who would recommend PL to their loved ones!

---------

Pennylane has a clear ambition: to become the best financial OS on the market. And part of that bet relies on our ability to be the most open and connected platform in the ecosystem.

In 2025, we reached a major milestone in France: 300+ integrations, the launch of our e-invoicing offering for software vendors, and the creation of a dedicated business unit — Connectivity — bringing Engineering, Product and Partnerships under one roof.

In 2026, we're shifting into high gear: 500+ apps on our marketplace, a team scaling to 40 people, revenue directly tracked by tech partner, and an ecosystem that becomes a true growth engine. We're also preparing for international expansion and the era of AI connectivity, with the goal of €40–50M ARR by 2030.

To get there, we're hiring a Head of Tech Partnerships: the person who will take the lead on our partner strategy, structure the team, launch our partner program, and turn integrations into a real business lever.

You'll join the Connectivity business unit, reporting directly to the General Manager Connectivity (Arnaud). You'll take full ownership of the Tech Partnerships function, with two team members already in place (Partner Manager & Solution Engineer).

  • You're a builder above all — you're joining a context still under construction and that excites you

  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and know how to prioritize without being told what to do

  • You're data-driven without being paralyzed by the lack of perfect data

  • You have a strong sense of ownership and commit to results, not activities

  • You know how to influence without hierarchical authority — cross-functional work is your playground
