Pleo is seeking an Engineering Manager to lead multiple engineering teams and drive technical excellence. This role involves direct management, coaching, and mentoring of engineers, with a strong focus on professional growth. The manager will be responsible for accelerating AI adoption, ensuring high-quality software delivery, and optimizing team processes. The ideal candidate is a technologist at heart with a passion for people management, cross-functional collaboration, and process optimization, able to communicate effectively between technical and business stakeholders. This is a remote or hybrid role.
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.
Joining our team as an Engineering Manager places you at the forefront of advancing our technical excellence and innovation. You will be part of a knowledgeable team of leaders representing various technical areas. In this role, you will report directly to our Product Lead, while your closest day-to-day collaborator will be the Product Manager supervising the same cross-functional teams.
You’re responsible for delivery and outcomes across multiple engineering teams. In this role, you are a developer at heart but a leader by choice. You are someone who has lived the dev life, understands the technical trenches, but realized your true calling is empowering other developers to do their best work. You foster the environment in which engineers perform at their best and grow both as individuals and as a team. You do so by serving as a mentor and coach, ensuring each team member is clear on expectations, making sure our processes help rather than hinder, and working closely with engineers to ensure we are building high-quality software.
We are looking for a leader with an empowering management style—someone who knows how to motivate a team, establish a clear sense of direction, and build a resilient team spirit. You lead by enabling others rather than micromanaging, creating an environment where engineers feel ownership over their work.
Balancing empathy with high standards, you know how to keep the team accountable to their commitments and quality benchmarks. We want an engineering manager whose team will be standing on the top of the mountain with them—celebrating a shared victory together, energized by the journey rather than left behind exhausted on the path below. You will help your team(s) through the journey of becoming high-performing, building deep trust among the members, and helping them fine-tune their processes.
