Description du poste

Most money apps talk at you. Cleo talks back

We're not building another finance app. We're building the world's first AI financial assistant, one that actually understands your money and makes you better at it, and we're changing the world's relationship with money in the process

For everyone, whatever their background or balance.

The proof: profitable, fast-growing, a unicorn with over $300M in ARR, and millions of people who now feel differently about their money.

We love original thinkers who challenge the status quo. We move fast, tell the truth, and there's nowhere to hide from good work here. If that excites you more than it scares you, you'll fit right in.

• Creating and delivering Learning and Development initiatives to enhance skills across the organisation.
• Ideating and execute key work streams and projects within the People Roadmap, autonomously and collaboratively.
• Acting as a valuable support and subject matter expert to various teams within the People department, addressing queries and challenges.

• Experience in handling sensitive matters with tact and diplomacy, you are comfortable having difficult conversations, working professionally and discreetly with sensitive information.
• Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills. Both the what and the how matter to us: explaining requirements and processes is key, but first comes the critical step of gaining stakeholder buy‑in. You’ll build strong relationships based on trust and confidence, and have the ability to influence.
