Commercial Account Executive

Let's face it:
out-of-pocket expenses suck.
And manual expense spreadsheets are old-school.
No one wants to wait until payday to be reimbursed for something they bought for work, and finance teams have better things to do than spend hours tapping away on Excel.
At Pleo, we're on a mission to change this.
We're here to make spend management surprisingly effective and empowering - for finance teams and employees.We're doing away with an outdated business process to end out-of-pocket spending, encourage autonomy and give finance teams trust in employees.

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.Today we are an 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.
