Platform Product Manager

Job description

At Joko, our mission is to we help consumers save time and money when shopping online or in-store. Founded in Paris, Joko is a tech company and certified B Corp with over 105 talents across Paris, Barcelona, and New York (and beyond). More than 6 million users already save money every day at 10,000+ merchants with Joko. From cashback and automatic coupons to price alerts, we've kept expanding our products to make shopping smarter. Today, Joko is an AI shopping app: with Juno, our shopping assistant, users can find the right product at the best price in only a few seconds, with recommendations that get sharper the more they use it. Having reached profitability in our core market, we’re now scaling globally, with a strong focus on the US. It’s still day 1, come build the future of shopping with us! 🛠️ OUR PRODUCT TEAM – PLATFORM Led by Fabien, our VP Product, Joko’s Product team brings together the people behind our users’ delight. From discovery to delivery and launch, we turn ideas into reality by working hand-in-hand with Engineering, Design, and Business teams. Within this team, the Platform tribe is the backbone of Joko’s scalability. It designs and builds the internal platforms, tools, and technical foundations that allow the company to operate with speed, reliability, and confidence, both today and as we scale internationally. This team owns critical domains such as internal products, back-office platforms, infrastructure, security, compliance, and operational reliability. By investing in strong, scalable foundations, the Platform team enables all other teams to execute at a high level and supports Joko’s long-term growth. The Platform tribe is currently being built. This role offers a rare opportunity to shape a team, its scope, and its impact from a (nearly) blank sheet, in close collaboration with senior engineering leadership. 🎯 WHAT YOU WILL DO As a Product Manager in the Platform tribe, you will own end-to-end product responsibility for Joko’s internal platforms and technical foundations. - Platform vision & roadmap: Define the product vision and roadmap for internal platforms (back-office, infrastructure, security, compliance, reliability), aligned with company priorities and technical constraints. - Internal platforms ownership: Own the full lifecycle of internal products and tools (e.g. Joko Admin, internal tooling, integrations), from problem framing to delivery and adoption by internal teams. - Collaboration with senior engineers: Work closely with highly experienced senior engineers — including profiles with founder-level experience such as Pierre Nectoux https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierrenectoux/ — to co-build scalable and reliable platform foundations. - Stakeholder alignment & prioritization: Act as the main point of contact for internal stakeholders (Engineering, Ops, Finance, Legal, Data, Customer Care), structure demand, and arbitrate priorities. - Scalability, reliability & risk management: Drive initiatives around performance, infrastructure costs, security, fraud, and compliance (GDPR) to ensure Joko can scale without breaking. - Impact & operational efficiency: Define success metrics focused on efficiency, reliability, risk reduction, and time saved for internal teams. 👀 WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR - Experience: At least 2+ years of experience as a Product Manager. Background on internal tools, back-office products, APIs, platforms, or complex B2B products is a strong plus. - Product for teams mindset: Comfortable building products where users are internal teams, with less emphasis on UI polish and more on efficiency, robustness, and adoption. - Strong technical appetite: Curious and hands-on with technical topics such as infrastructure, performance, server costs, reliability, security, compliance, or fraud. You don’t need to code, but you need to understand how things work. - Stakeholder leadership: Excellent at alignment, prioritization, and saying no. Able to navigate many dependencies and make trade-offs explicit. - Analytical & pragmatic: Data-driven, impact-oriented, and focused on solving real operational problems. - Communication: Clear, structured communicator, able to translate complex technical topics into business impact. - Location & languages: Based in France or Spain. Fluent in English (French is a plus, not mandatory). - Mindset: Ownership-driven, resilient, and motivated by solving hard, unglamorous but high-impact problems that make the whole company better. 💎 OUR PERKS (Some of the benefits listed below are available to full-time positions only) At Joko, we believe that flexibility and trust are essential. Our work environment reflects this through: - Flexible remote : If you live in Paris, you can choose to work from our office or from home with no constraints. If you live elsewhere, we can provide access to a coworking space and a coworking budget. - Work from anywhere : Want to spend a month in Italy while working? You can work from most countries in the world for up to 3 months per year. On top of that, we offer plenty of perks: - 💸 Top-market compensation - 📈 Equity for everyone with the chance to own a piece of what you build - 🤖 Half-day each week dedicated to leveling up with AI by exploring new tools, iterating hard, and sharpening your skills - 🌴 Yearly offsite in amazing locations and budget for team-building events & monthly in-person gatherings - 💪 Contribution to your ClassPass subscription - 🍼 8-week leave paid 100% for the second parent - …and much more, check the full list here https://notion.so/joko/20f4ead2bfc54137b9d805bd9abbb758?pvs=4&v=e2baac50c1844149a219895e0d1c2912! 🤝 OUR HIRING PROCESS 1.
