Product Owner on the Billing Squad at Alex Staff… · Rotterdam

We are transforming corporate travel by combining automation, machine learning and pragmatic commercial insight. As a Product Owner on the Billing Squad, you will be responsible for defining and delivering the product roadmap that underpins billing, invoicing, payments and revenue recognition. You will work closely with engineering, finance, operations and commercial teams to translate regulatory and business requirements into reliable, secure and scalable solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the Billing product area end-to-end: define vision, prioritise the backlog, write clear user stories and acceptance criteria, and ensure successful delivery of features.

• Collaborate with Finance, Legal and Compliance to ensure billing solutions meet accounting standards, tax rules and regulatory requirements across relevant jurisdictions.

• Partner with engineering and platform teams to design secure, resilient and scalable payment and invoicing systems, including support for multiple currencies, tax treatments, and payment providers.

• Drive continuous improvement of billing operations: reduce manual reconciliation, improve cash collection, and automate dispute handling and refunds.

• Work closely with Customer Success and Sales to understand commercial contracts, pricing models and invoicing needs; translate these into product capabilities that support new business models and market expansion.

• Define and track KPIs for billing health and performance (e.g., DSO, failed payments, reconciliation rate) and use data to drive prioritisation.

• Support migrations and integrations with external ERPs and accounting systems to ensure data integrity and smooth financial close processes.

• Act as the product authority during planning, grooming and delivery ceremonies; communicate roadmap, trade-offs and release plans to stakeholders.

• Proven experience (3+ years) as a Product Owner, Product Manager or similar role working on billing, payments, invoicing or finance-related products in a tech or SaaS environment.

• Strong understanding of accounting principles (including revenue recognition), VAT/GST and cross-border tax considerations; experience working with finance teams is essential.

• Hands-on experience defining user stories, acceptance criteria and prioritising backlogs in an agile environment.

• Experience integrating with payment gateways, acquiring banks, and/or ERP/accounting systems (AP/AR) is highly desirable.

• Data-driven mindset with strong analytical skills; comfortable defining and tracking product metrics and using them to inform decisions.

• Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to present complex trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Customer-focused and pragmatic: able to balance short-term operational needs with long-term platform stability and scalability.

• Degree in Business, Finance, Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
