Paying out-of-pocket sucks. Manual data entry is painful. Workplaces need to be more trusting, and finance leaders need to be more tech-savvy.
We’re right at the tipping point of a fintech revolution - but we need your help to get there.
We are looking for an Enterprise Architect who will oversee the design, development, and implementation of all business applications supported by our IT team. This role will ensure that business applications are aligned with the organization’s overall strategy, goals, and technology architecture. You will collaborate with various stakeholders, including business leaders, IT teams, and vendors, to design scalable, secure, and integrated solutions that meet business needs and improve operational efficiency.

WHO WE ARE

To get you off to a good start, let’s just say we’re saying goodbye to an outdated business process that’s been around forever – dreaded spend management.
We do this by helping customers delegate employee spending through a business spending platform. This means no more out-of-pocket spending, encouraging autonomy and trust in employees, and taking a huge burden off the finance team. You’ll be building the SaaS tool (company spending solution) that comes with physical pre-paid cards (yes, with a fintech twist) distributed to all employees of the company. The best part? We’re all users of Pleo ourselves, so it’s a highly applicable tool. It impacts anyone in a company who spends money on behalf of the business – be it a coffee with clients or a Mac for a new hire.
Because we put the employee at the centre of all this, you’ll find us to be user-obsessed (don’t take our word for it – check out our Trustpilot page: Trustpilot Pleo Reviews). We place ourselves in the user’s position every day and try to minimise the major pains they feel.
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Program Manager to lead and coordinate cross-functional projects across various geographies. The ideal candidate will possess exceptional organizational, leadership, and communication skills to work with teams distributed globally, ensuring alignment with project goals, timelines, and deliverables. This role is crucial to driving complex initiatives that involve multiple departments and locations, optimizing collaboration, and ensuring project success.
