Product Manager, Lead to Cash

Location: London, onsite 5 days a week

Retire The ERP.

Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers: automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business.

We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Keyshot. We’re an early team defining a new software category. If you’re excited to modernise how the world runs money, one agentic workflow at a time, you’re in the right place.

Backed by world-class investors and advised by industry titans, we’re building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes. Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance.

About The Role

This is a hands-on product role reporting to the VP of Product Development. You’ll own Lead to Cash: everything between a signed deal and cash in the bank. That covers contracts, billing and invoicing, revenue recognition, payments, and credit control. You’ll set the roadmap for the area with the VP, and your discovery and judgement decide what actually ships.

In Lead to Cash, the ledger has to keep up with whatever commercial terms each customer signs. A contract changes mid-term, and the invoices, deferred revenue and reporting all have to follow. A parent company wants one bill for a dozen subsidiaries. A customer’s Stripe setup doesn’t match how they actually sell. Every customer bills a little differently, and the product has to absorb those differences without turning into a pile of one-offs. You work out which problems are patterns worth building for and which aren’t, and you say so.

Your stakeholders are engineers, designers, Sales, Solutions Engineering, Implementation, and the Financial Controllers, Finance Directors and CFOs who run their revenue on Light. Most of them are senior, technical and short of time. They expect you to keep up, and to be honest with them when a request would cost more than it’s worth.

Key Responsibilities

Own the Lead to Cash roadmap and its delivery, from discovery to go-live, and the metrics that show whether it’s working for customers

Turn contract terms, pricing models and revenue recognition rules into product requirements engineers can build from

Decide which customer requests become product and which don’t, and bring a clear recommendation to the VP of Product Development when the call is a big one

Lead discovery with finance teams: sit with them through a billing run or a month-end close and find what’s slow, manual or wrong

Work with Sales and Solutions Engineering on what gets promised to customers, before it’s promised

Sequence delivery with Engineering and Design without cutting the corners that matter in finance

Own the integrations that feed Lead to Cash, such as CRMs and payment providers, with clear scope for each

Spot a release going off-track before it slips, and escalate or intervene early

Enable the teams downstream of you (Sales, SE, Implementation, Support) to sell, set up and support every Lead to Cash feature from day one

Shape how AI agents run billing and collections work, inside policies that finance teams set and can audit

Experience & Qualifications*

We’re looking for someone with around 4–8 years in product (or equivalent experience), who brings:

You ship product, not slideware. You’ve owned real features that real users depend on. You measure yourself by what went live and what it changed, not by the roadmap you maintained. This is the non-negotiable.

You turn accounting rules into product. You can read IFRS 15 or ASC 606, a customer’s master services agreement, or a messy pricing sheet and work out what the product has to do. You know why a mid-term upgrade, a backdated discount or an early termination breaks a simple billing model, and you design for it before a customer finds it.
