Senior Product Manager - Employee Spend Experience

Join Pleo as a Senior Product Manager in our Employee Spend Experience team. You’ll lead initiatives that make managing spend seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to lead Employee Spend – the team behind Cards, Reimbursements, Requests, Mileage, and Per Diem – and make Pleo the simplest way for every employee to spend responsibly with confidence and speed.

You’ll set a clear product vision and strategy across employee experiences, turning “controls” into guidance that feels effortless while keeping finance in control. From card controls and policy nudges to receipt capture, reimbursement flows, and regional compliance, your work will reduce ambiguity for employees and operational drag for finance – so the right spend just happens.

This role sits at the intersection of company structure, financial access, and day‑to‑day execution. A growth mindset, sharp commercial judgment, and a bias for measurable impact are essential. You’ll root causes fast, challenge assumptions with humility, and ship focused slices to maximise the impact of your team.

What you will be doing

• Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Employee Spend experience across Cards, Reimbursements, Mileage, Per Diem and Requests, making it intuitive, empowering, and delightful.
• Drive employee adoption and revenue impact by working closely with GTM and Pricing to make Pleo the obvious choice for all employees spending for the business.
• Give finance confidence that no spend is outside of policy unless there is a good reason with pre‑approval.
• Partner tightly with engineering, design, data, and research to find novel solutions and ensure seamless execution of product initiatives.
• Leverage data and qualitative user research to deeply understand user needs and pain points related to managing users and controlling spend, translating insights into innovative product solutions.
• Identify market trends, competitive landscapes, and potential partnerships to inform long‑term product strategy and future investment in the space.

What you bring

• Experience working within payments and building state‑of‑the‑art mobile experiences.
• A visionary and innovative mindset with a proven track record of finding novel solutions to known problems to keep us category‑defining.
• A results‑oriented growth mindset, comfortable with ambiguity and driven by measurable outcomes that see cross‑org collaboration as an opportunity.
• Strong track record of leading high‑performing cross‑functional product teams through exceptional product management craft and leadership.
• Exceptional at breaking down complex concepts, prioritising work, and conveying a clear narrative to your team and stakeholders.
• Deep customer empathy and proven experience conducting user research to translate insights into tangible product improvements.
• Track record of partnering with commercial counterparts to drive growth and revenue impact.

Who you'll be working with and reporting to

You’ll report to a Senior Product Director and work closely with your Engineering Manager, designer, and tech leads. Together with the EM and designer, you set the strategy, direction, and priority for the team. You’ll also partner with members from Data, Product Research, GTM, and Partnerships to drive product success.

How you'll develop in this role

• Lead iterations and scale the Purchase Requests feature to help employees make the right spending decisions quickly without compromising finance’s sense of control.
• Discover and design solutions to make setup and usage of various spend use cases more intuitive and self‑serve for Finance and employees alike.
• Get to work with exceptional talent and quickly learn how to build a B2B product experience that is today recognised as industry‑leading.
