Welcome to our talented People Team that looks after our 800+ Pleo'ers...yes, you heard that right!



We're now looking for someone special to support the Enablement function and People Strategy for our newly created India Hub and contribute to the success of the Location Strategy there as the first People Advisor.

Please note that this role is needed to be present at our Chennai office at least 3 - 4 days per week!



On top of that, we are looking for someone that feels comfortable being our independent leaders' coach, i.e. someone who is really good at understanding how to unlock the potential of our leaders and leadership teams through the right questions at the right time. We believe in authentic leadership in Pleo - a big part of your role is enabling that through effective coaching, feedback, and sparring. Besides being a coach, you feel comfortable stepping into an advisory role - and you are not afraid to hold leaders accountable for effective leadership, also in difficult situations.

Why join us?



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.
