Your Mission:
As a Commercial Talent Partner Lead at Pleo, you will be instrumental in scaling our commercial teams globally (circa 400 employees). You’ll drive our talent acquisition strategy, ensuring we attract, hire, and retain top talent who are not only skilled but also a perfect fit for our Pleo culture.

- Use our tools to ensure data drives your decision-making and conversations with Stakeholders and the wider people & talent team.
- Act as a driving force behind our Inclusive Hiring Strategy. You are someone who really cares for, and values the importance of diversity and inclusion in Pleo.
Who You Are:

- A nice mixture of both agency and in-house recruitment experience is preferred.
- As a People Manager, you have experienced the highs and lows of recruitment, and can confidently guide and develop your team through it all.
- You are comfortable working to and communicating hiring targets and using data to inform team capacity needs.
- You can use your experience to establish and influence hiring strategies internationally and measure their success, pivoting quickly when needed.
- You have strong communication skills; for example, you aren’t afraid to speak up, present and push back in a meeting with our CRO and Sales Leaders
- You have experience in working at a similar sized organisation to Pleo, and can showcase an ability to connect the dots between teams, anticipate challenges and solve them seamlessly.
- Desirable would be experience in managing large-scale hiring improvement projects, end-to-end.

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.
