Apaleo is building an open, API-first property management platform for hospitality, with integrations across hundreds of apps through the Apaleo Store. The company is hiring a Senior Product Manager for the fiscal and legal domain to own end-to-end delivery of product crews such as invoicing or taxation. The role works closely with engineering, customer success and compliance stakeholders to keep the platform compliant across markets, balancing planned roadmap work with a steady stream of regulatory and reactive changes. The product manager acts as a technical partner to engineers, diving into the API-first architecture rather than handing off tickets.
