Join us as a Strategic Project Manager – Strategic Planning & Insights to help shape Qonto’s strategy and turn priorities into action. Working with Fanny, our Strategy Director, and senior stakeholders across Qonto, you’ll assess opportunities, inform key decisions and lead cross-functional projects through to execution.
You’ll join a Strategy talent pool where you can learn quickly, collaborate across teams and potentially grow into another function over time, such as Growth, Operations, Product or Tech.
➡️ What you’ll do
Shape strategic planning and priorities: Contribute to Qonto’s strategic planning process, help define company-wide priorities and turn them into company OKRs and key projects. Track progress and help assess when priorities need to evolve. Work with Corporate Development to articulate Qonto’s vision and strategy for internal and external audiences.
Build market and strategic insights: Analyze market trends, customer needs and Qonto’s competitive position to assess opportunities, develop clear and actionable recommendations and support decision-making, particularly for Product, Growth, Ops and Corporate Development.
Drive strategic projects from framing to execution: Lead cross-functional initiatives or bring strategic input to unblock a team’s project across new products and adjacencies, growth acceleration and operational efficiency.
➡️ What we’re looking for
Experience: You have 5+ years of experience in a top-tier consulting firm and/or as a strategic project manager in a startup or company. Experience in banking or financial services is a plus, not a requirement; curiosity about the sector is important.
Strategic thinking & analysis: You enjoy exploring complex questions, combining market and customer insights with quantitative and financial analysis to build structured, actionable recommendations.
Communication & synthesis: You communicate clearly in writing and in conversation, and can structure and present insights to a range of audiences, including senior stakeholders.
Project & stakeholder management: You can lead cross-functional projects with autonomy, bring people together around shared goals and break down silos to move work forward.
Ownership & pragmatism: You’re proactive, detail-oriented and hands-on. You take responsibility for moving from an idea or recommendation to concrete action and follow through on delivery.
Curiosity & AI: You’re eager to learn, explore new opportunities and experiment with AI in your work. Advanced AI expertise is not required.
Languages: Fluent English is required; French or another European language is a plus.
➡️ What we can offer you
Team & impact: Join a Strategy team working on high-impact topics across Qonto, from strategic planning and new products to growth acceleration and operational efficiency.
Exposure & collaboration: Work closely with senior management and colleagues across functions on a variety of strategic challenges in an international fintech environment.
From strategy to execution: Stay close to the business and see your recommendations move beyond the slide deck into real projects and outcomes.
Learning & growth: Benefit from coaching and exposure to different areas of Qonto, with opportunities to grow within the Strategy team and potentially explore roles in other functions over time.
AI & ways of working: Experiment with AI on projects and exchange practices with the team during strategy office hours.
