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.

We’re excited to be looking for someone who can provide financial insights and analysis to help us define solutions for business challenges, drive business decisions and identify growth drivers - all to help Pleo reach its ambitious growth goals.

To succeed in this role we think you will need between 3-5 years of experience in providing objective views and recommendations to help with prioritisation and capital & resources allocations - and you want to leverage this experience to drive meaningful outcomes in Pleo as an FP&A Senior analyst.

If you’d describe yourself as a collaborative finance professional with strong business acumen and analytical skills, you’re in the right place!

In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact on the future of one of Europe’s fastest growing FinTech Unicorns. So if all of this has got you nodding your head and feeling excited, we’d love for you to click apply and make the introduction.
