Job Description

Messy spend management is tricky business. And tedious processes are a lose-lose situation for all involved, not just finance. At Pleo, we're changing that. We build spend solutions that make managing money seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike—with a vision to help all businesses ‘go beyond’.

The word ‘Pleo’ actually means ‘more than you’d expect’, and living by that mantra has been the secret to our success over the last 10 years.

Now, we’re at a pivotal moment in our journey; every move we make has a direct impact on our 40,000+ 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 of 850+ people from over 100 nationalities, all committed to delivering the future of business spending, together.

We're looking for a Sourcing Specialist to join our Procurement team at Pleo. In this role, you'll help with a company wide sourcing plan design & execution. If you’re excited about architecting a ground-up sourcing strategy and having the autonomy to own high-stakes negotiations and are passionate about the fast-paced evolution of fintech, then this is the opportunity for you!

As a Sourcing specialist you will:

Lead end-to-end negotiations across all spend categories, with an expert focus on optimising our SaaS ecosystem and maximising cost-savings.
Drive the delivery of procurement Objectives and Key Results to support company-wide financial goals.
Own procurement reporting and data accuracy, providing leadership with clear insights into savings and spend performance.
Champion procurement best practices and implement effective controls to ensure seamless, compliant stakeholder engagement.
Collaborate across departments to align sourcing strategies with business needs and manage key dependencies.

What you bring

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

Proven track record of closing high-value SaaS and indirect spend deals with speed and precision.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, delivering high-quality results under tight deadlines without losing momentum.
Sharp analytical skills to transform procurement KPIs into actionable insights and transparent reporting.
Confidence in building rapid trust with stakeholders to ensure cross-departmental alignment and policy adoption.
A flexible approach to problem-solving in a dynamic landscape where priorities can shift quickly.
Managing a high volume of global SaaS renewals and navigating the nuances of multi-year software commitments.

Who you’ll be working with and reporting to:

You’ll report to our Head of Procurement and work closely with teams in Engineering, Platform, Marketing, and People. Our team of 3 is highly collaborative and dedicated to optimising our global spend and building scalable sourcing foundations. You’ll also have the chance to partner with teams across Finance and Legal to ensure success.

How you’ll develop in this role
In your first 4 months at Pleo, you’ll:

Lead a few SaaS RFPs to drive impact in Savings.
Collaborate with Engineering and Product, to define their Category Sourcing plan.
Grow your skills in Stakeholder management and Negotiation, taking on new challenges as the company continues to scale.
