ABOUT PLEO Messy spend management is tricky business. And tedious processes are a lose-lose situation for all involved, not just finance. At Pleo, we're changing that. We build spend solutions that make managing money seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike - with a vision to help all businesses ‘go beyond’. The word ‘Pleo’ actually means ‘more than you’d expect’, and living by that mantra has been the secret to our success over the last 10 years. Now, we’re at a pivotal moment in our journey; every move we make has a direct impact on our 40,000+ customers, our business, and our collective success. We need people who take pride in uncovering customer needs, who turn complex problems into simple solutions, challenge the way things are done (respectfully), and always aim high. With great ambitions driving us forward, we can’t say we’ve got this whole thing figured out. And frankly, that’s half the fun! What we can say is that we’re a driven, progressive, and, importantly, a kind bunch of 850+ people from over 100 nationalities, all committed to delivering the future of business spending, together. ABOUT THE ROLE We take pride in everything we build for our people, from spaces to events and communities, bringing the social glue that makes Pleo one of the best scaleups in Europe. Our work ensures that besides functional and state-of-the-art workspaces, we also provide a space where everyone can belong, reflecting Pleo’s culture and values. Now, with 650+ people spanning across our 6 main workplace locations, and multiple smaller hubs, we simply work to ensure that our offices are exciting and effective places for employees to collaborate and make work….work!
