Intro
At Pleo, we’re on a mission to revolutionise the way businesses manage company spending. No more outdated processes, clunky spreadsheets, or frustrating delays - we believe spend management should be seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike. We’re creating tools that promote autonomy, foster trust, and let businesses focus on what truly matters.
Our culture is built on transparency, collaboration, and a deep commitment to innovation – which is reflected in our spending solution. At Pleo, you’ll join a passionate team shaping the future of work, all while having some fun along the way.
About the role
We’re looking for an Interim Treasury Lead to step into a key role while our current Senior Treasury Manager goes on maternity leave. You’ll join Pleo’s Treasury team during a pivotal moment: we’re scaling fast, preparing for IPO-readiness, and about to implement our first-ever Treasury Management System (TMS).
This is a 12-month contract starting in September 2025, with a full handover to set you up for success. You will play a key role in delivering Treasury priorities during a critical growth phase; with a clear strategic direction already in place, your focus will be on execution, continuity, and impact.
What you’ll be doing
As Interim Treasury Lead, you will:
- Oversee the execution of day-to-day Treasury operations across all entities and currencies - including cash positioning, liquidity planning, and global cash visibility - ensuring appropriate controls, senior review, and policy alignment.
- Act as Treasury lead on our TMS implementation - collaborating with vendors and internal teams through design, testing, and go-live, keeping delivery on track.
- Manage Pleo’s banking infrastructure, including account management, signatory governance, fee reviews, and counterparty exposure monitoring.
- Support investment execution and financial risk analysis, including FX and interest rate sensitivity tracking, policy compliance, and Risk Committee reporting.
- Maintain strong governance and controls, ensuring audit-readiness and alignment with our Treasury roadmap for IPO readiness.
What you bring
You’ll thrive in this role if you have:
- 7+ years’ experience in Treasury, with solid grounding in cash management, liquidity planning, and banking relationships
- Direct exposure to TMS implementation (any system – we value the process experience!)
- A strong understanding of Treasury policy, compliance, and internal controls
- Confidence managing complex multi-entity, multi-currency environments
- A proactive, structured, and collaborative mindset
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across Finance, Legal, Product, and Tech
- Experience in high-growth or regulated environments is a plus
Who you’ll be working with and reporting to
You’ll report to our Head of Finance, and work closely with the Senior Treasurer during the handover period. You’ll also partner with the Treasury Analyst, and collaborate with teams in Accounting, Compliance, Payments Infrastructure, Legal, and our TMS vendor throughout the project.
How you’ll develop in this role
In your first few months, you’ll:
- Quickly onboard into Treasury operations and assume oversight from the current Senior Treasurer
- Take the lead on TMS delivery milestones (e.g. vendor coordination, system testing)
- Deliver month-end reporting, maintain controls, and manage banking activity
- Provide senior review on daily liquidity and operational decisions in coordination with our Treasury Analyst
- Help keep Treasury on track for IPO readiness milestones in 2026
This is a high-visibility, execution-focused role, perfect for someone looking to make an impact while stepping into a pre-defined strategic environment.

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.
