About RoomRaccoon:

RoomRaccoon is a fast-growing hospitality SaaS company building one powerful platform for independent hoteliers on an international scale. We help hotels run smarter, sell better, and stay in control, from bookings and payments to revenue and automation, all in one system.

We move fast, think independently, and build technology that gives hotels a real competitive edge. Our team is global, ambitious, and hands-on. We value ownership, momentum, and people who want to make an impact while beating yesterday, together. If you like building meaningful software with smart people, you’ll fit right in.

Your North Star

We’re looking for an AI-first Product Owner with strong payments and finance domain knowledge and an obsession with execution.

This role sits at the intersection of payments, financial operations, automation, and AI-powered product experiences. You’ll work closely with Product, Engineering, Finance, Data, Operations, and Commercial teams to build smarter financial workflows that scale globally.

You are not a “PowerPoint Product Manager.” You ship. You simplify. You solve operational pain points. You turn complexity into intuitive product experiences. You understand that modern product teams move with speed, ownership, and AI-assisted execution.
