We're looking for a person who is an entrepreneur at heart. Someone who sees that sales is a top priority when aiming for hyper-growth at a scale up like Pleo.
You would agree that our people are the strongest assets to bring in new revenue. You have the knowledge and passion for hiring, coaching and developing high potential sales people to make our UK team the most successful it can be.
If this sounds like a match so far? Super, let's keep going. We want to tell you a bit more about Pleo! 💳
We're a company that deals with company spending: we think that all employees should be trusted to spend company money.
We do this through smart payment cards for companies: use your card, snap a picture of the receipt, and you're done. No more out of pocket expenses - no more boring expense reports. Our beautiful app makes it easy and transparent for management and finance teams to see what's being spent in real time, while taking the load of handling company spending off the finance team. Instead, companies who use Pleo delegate spending to all employees across the company.
It's an exciting time for us: we are in a very strong position as in our latest investment round we raised over $350M in Series C to grow. We have offices in Copenhagen, London, Stockholm, Berlin, Madrid and Lisbon - and you’d be working out of our amazing office in London. 🇬🇧
The main objective for this role is to build upon our already successful momentum in the UK/I, and more importantly: take it to the next level of growth 🚀
The must-haves
- Minimum of 3+ years of experience in new business SaaS sales, with demonstrable success from prospecting to close.
- Preferred experience of 1 year in people management, including hiring, coaching, and developing teams.

- Proven ability to leverage MEDDIC sales methodology throughout a sales process for success.

- Get your energy from interacting with other people and are a people person

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.
