Our Mission We're fixing the most broken process in business. Whether it's SaaS, hardware, or contractors, a typical B2B purchase drags on for 3+ months, spawns 50+ emails, and pulls in multiple stakeholders across Finance, Legal, Security, and IT. Nobody likes it, and it slows businesses down. Omnea exists to change that. Our AI-native platform connects the people, steps, and systems so buying just works. Employees have one place to make requests, the right approvals run automatically, renewals and supplier risk checks are handled on time, and leaders get clear visibility into how, when, and why money is being spent. This matters more now than ever: volatile markets demand capital efficiency, businesses who adopt AI quickly have a competitive advantage, and evolving regulation demands evidenceable controls-so buying has to be fast and compliant by default. Founded in 2022, we're trusted by global enterprises including Spotify, Adecco Group, Albertsons, Wise, MongoDB, and Monzo. Our team previously built Tessian (backed by Sequoia; acquired by Proofpoint) and we've raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, Accel, Point Nine, and First Round. What we're looking for We are looking for an experienced & exceptional product manager to shape and ship our product, from scoping features all the way through to delivery. You'll be joining us at a pivotal time. We've just raised $50M in Series B funding from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, Accel, Point Nine, and First Round Capital. In the past year we've grown revenue 5x, tripled our customer base, and maintained >99% retention with enterprises like Spotify, Wise, Albertsons, Adecco, and McAfee. Our team is small but high calibre it took over 10,000 interviews to hire our first 50 Omneans. Now we're scaling fast and building the category of AI Supplier Relationship Management. And we need someone to help us accelerate our product delivery, ensuring we continue to consistently win in our competitive space, and drive the growth in our revenue. We'll assess titling during the process - we're open to this being a Senior (Level 3) or a Lead (Level 4), but we can't make promises on title and compensation until we have a good sense of where you sit relative to the rest of our team. What Can You Expect? Shape the product Commercial focus: You will work closely with our Sales & Customer leaders to help them sell, deploy, and support the product as we scale, and ultimately to grow Omnea's revenue as much and as fast as possible, ensuring that we continue to win in competitive deals, and renew and upsell at world leading rates. Customer focus: We have amazing customers who love our product & are highly invested in the future of Omnea's platform. You will quickly develop an intuitive understanding of the space and our customers' needs that will drive your ability to make product decisions quickly and execute fast Ship the product Product scoping: You'll ensure that everything we build is well scoped and has clearly defined requirements. You'll keep a keen eye on business value and will constantly make trade offs when prioritising growth vs improvements, clearly articulating your research, opinions and decision making process Product process: You'll be responsible for the entire product development lifecycle from discovery to launch, ensuring we are delivering high quality features on time. This includes working closely with our Engineering Leaders in managing, prioritising and maintaining the product backlog. You'll have a good appreciation for where process is a force multiplier rather than an exercise in comfort, and iterate strongly towards the former and away from the latter. Keep everyone aligned Keep everyone aligned: You'll collaborate closely with everyone to bring transparency and clarity to our product roadmap, both the 'now' and our future vision. You'll ensure alignment across the org and drive accountability for how we deliver our next product iterations About you You have 6+ years of experience in product management building exceptional B2B SaaS products. You have operated 'full stack' and have experience scoping, building, and shipping complex & beautiful products. Experience with our specific market is not necessary, as long as you have the appetite to learn! You have played a key role in building something impressive in high calibre (& ideally early stage) environments, whether that's a product, team, or company. You get that speed of execution is one of the biggest advantage we can have. You are highly analytical, naturally data driven, and have great product intuition. You are able to digest customer feedback & inputs, and can put yourself in the shoes of the customer to help guide teams on what & how to build. You rely heavily on your product intuition, excellent design taste and you develop strong opinions on what a great user experience looks & feels like, and your intuition grows and gets better quickly with immersion. You have high technical literacy and a commercial mindset. You can assess the technical feasibility of proposed product features at a high level and have a great sense of the optimal UX, while being able to understand the commercial value they will bring You have a bias for action and a reputation for getting things done. You like to get your hands dirty, move at pace, and make an impact, rather than only talking in frameworks or theories, or only being willing to work on 'strategy' You're an outstanding communicator; verbal, written, and when presenting. You can convey complex ideas with clarity to any audience and are excellent at building rapport & driving change. You're not afraid to stand your ground but can 'disagree and commit' when needed You're ambitious, competitive, and care a lot about your career. You are probably happiest when working hard and solving challenging problems for customers. You have incredibly high standards and take pride in whatever you are working on. You know this requires dedication & some sacrifice but you think it's worth it You want to be part of building a business and to be entrepreneurial. More broadly, you have the ability and/or appetite to get stuck into anything that can drive an early stage business forward. You want to rise faster than would be possible in any 'normal' career and you're happy to roll up your sleeves and do whatever's required. FYI, we've signed up to the Future Founder Promise At Omnea, we embrace diversity. To build a product that's loved by everyone, we're best served by a team with all sorts of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't quite match the full job spec! And regardless of your race, religion, colour, gender, or anything else!
