With our product, Pleo is challenging outdated norms in the business spend industry by trusting employees to make purchases on the company’s behalf - no more expense reports or out of pocket spending. This puts trust in employees so that they can buy what they need when they need it. Future of work stuff, you know?
But let us introduce you to the domain this role will be part of:
The Spend Management helps our customers manage their spend with us in a way that’s intuitive, efficient, and user-friendly. Humans interacting with our product should feel valued, delighted and impactful in whatever they are trying to do. This will be a fixed term contract of 12 months. However, we have a very good internal mobility program that means that the chances of finding a new position for another team after the 12 months pass are very high.
