The Opportunity - Product Manager, Accounting

FreshBooks is looking for a Product Manager to help reshape the world to meet the needs of our customers: small business owners and entrepreneurs. In this role, you will be focused on our Accounting and Workflow Offering that enables all our customers and their teams to manage day to day operations, know their business, and plan for the future. You’ll develop such a deep understanding of their needs, and can help create experiences that are unique to their stage, vertical, and segment.

  • Empathy is your strong suit - you can spend time with external and internal customers to develop a deep understanding of the challenges of small businesses; and be able to document, analyze, and synthesize their needs into a compelling product vision
