Now, we’re at a pivotal moment in our journey; every move we make has a direct impact on our40,000+ 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 of850+ people from over 100 nationalities, all committed to delivering the future of business spending, together. We're looking for a commercially-minded Account Manager to join our Mid-Market Account Management Team at Pleo.

Why is this role a good fit for you

This role is a good fit for you if: You are naturally curious and driven to map out complex organisations, identifying white space where Pleo can solve a genuine business need. You get a rush from closing upsells by proving ROI and prefer driving proactive growth over simply waiting for a renewal. You use frameworks like MEDDICC to keep deals on track and can easily show a CFO how tech features translate into financial value.

This role is not a good fit for you if: You view Account Management solely as responding to support tickets or handling administrative renewals rather than proactively hunting for expansion opportunities and driving revenue. You require a rigid, unchanging playbook to succeed. We are scaling fast, which means processes evolve and you’ll need to be comfortable building the plane while flying it. You prefer simple, single-point-of-contact relationships. This role requires multi-threading across Finance, IT, and Procurement in mid-market organizations.
