Description

At Pleo, we’re on a mission to revolutionise the way businesses manage company spending. No more outdated processes, clunky spreadsheets, or frustrating delays - we believe spend management should be seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike. We’re creating tools that promote autonomy, foster trust, and let businesses focus on what truly matters. Our culture is built on transparency, collaboration, and a deep commitment to innovation – which is reflected in our spending solution. At Pleo, you’ll join a passionate team shaping the future of work, all while having some fun along the way. About the role Joining our team as a Senior Engineering Manager places you at the forefront of advancing our technical excellence and innovation. Your closest collaborators will be the Product Manager (PM) and Designer working across your two squads. You will report to the Engineering Director of the Spend Decisions group. Specifically, you will be joining the Business Spend and Accounts Payable team. This team is responsible for a suite of Business Spend products, including Vendor Spend, Subscriptions Management, and Accounts Payable. Our goal is to transform traditionally cumbersome processes into a delightful experience and strategic advantage for businesses of all sizes. You will be instrumental in empowering businesses to automate, optimize, and gain complete control over their procurement through the payment process, including vendor management, insights to guide procurement and renewal, and working capital optimization. If you're excited about reimagining this space and unlocking Finance professionals from mundane work to be the strategic partner to the business they want to be - then this role is for you! You will be responsible for delivery and outcomes across multiple engineering squads (up to 12 engineers in total). You foster the environment in which engineers perform at their best and grow both as individuals and as a team. You do so by making sure each team member is clear on what we expect and how they can grow, by making sure our processes are helping rather than standing in the way, and by working with all engineers ensuring we are building high-quality software. Your leadership style: We always say that we hire anyone who we would want to be our boss, irrespective of the role they’re in (from Customer Support student workers to co-founders!). That should be the feeling we’re left with when any of us speak to you. We are looking for someone who cares deeply about individuals as human beings - we focus on authentic leadership and are actively trying to develop ourselves in this space. We hope that you will be able to show vulnerability, radical transparency, and a listening ear to those around you. We truly believe that with this type of style you and your team will set an incredible path forward - and that path will get us to incredible places. We want an engineering manager whose team will be standing on the top of the mountain with them - celebrating together and not left behind exhausted on the path below. We want you to help your team(s) through the journey of becoming high-performing, building trust among the members in the team, and helping them fine-tune their processes. You will thrive in this role if you: Have a passion for people management. You work to see your team and individuals growing and shipping great software Have experience in fintech, bonus if you have Accounts Payable experience. Have 2+ years experience managing teams of 5-12 engineers You like to work with cross-functional teams and other stakeholders to align engineering functions with product & business direction and goals. You think like a technologist in the core and optimize for both customers and the business. Enjoy design and optimization of teams and processes to maximize their efficiency. You are comfortable stepping into technical discussions or taking important stakeholder meetings to remove roadblocks allowing the team to move forward. You are a strong communicator, with both technical and commercial stakeholders. You’re a technologist at heart. We work in cross-functional teams in product and engineering: each team is made up of co-founders from product and engineering - and joined by designers, coders, and maybe even some people from commercial. What this Role entails: Work closely with the Product Manager and Designer to set a vision and direction for the team or group of product teams. Directly manage Engineers (and Tech Leads) and oversee a group of Engineers. Drive a customer-centric & solution-oriented mindset. Continuously improve the environment and processes for how we build our product. Align technology direction within your area, with other areas as well as with the overall technology direction of the company.

Working at Pleo means you're working on something very exciting: the future of work. Our mission is to help every company go beyond the books. Pleo itself means ‘more than you’d expect’, and it’s been the secret to our success over the last 8 years. So it’s only fitting that we’d pass this philosophy onto our customers to help them make the most of their finances. We think company spending should be delegated to all employees and teams, that it should be as automated as possible, and that it should drive a culture of responsible spending. Finance teams shouldn’t be siloed from the rest of the organisation – they should work in unity with marketing, sales, IT and everyone else. Speaking of working in unity, our values tell the story of how we work at Pleo. We have four core values, the first of which is ‘champion the customer’, which means we address real pain points that businesses face. Next up is ‘succeed as a team’, which highlights how our strength lies in our diversity and trust in each other. We also ‘make it happen’ by taking bold decisions and following through to deliver results. Last but not least, we ‘build to scale’, creating lasting solutions that address today’s challenges and anticipate tomorrow’s needs. So, in a nutshell, that's Pleo. Today we are a 850+ team, from over 100 nations, sitting in our Copenhagen HQ, London, Stockholm, Berlin, Madrid, Montreal and Lisbon offices —and quite a few full-time remotes in 35 other countries! Being HQ'd out of Copenhagen means we're inspired by things like a good work-life balance. If you don't work in the office with us, we'll help you set up the best remote setup possible and make sure you still have time to connect with your team.
