Pleo solves today's company spending problem. We empower companies with an app that links up to pre-paid cards. Every person gets a card and is trusted with spending company money. After all, if you're trusted enough to be hired, you should be trusted enough to spend money responsibly.

Our design team at Pleo are passionate about creating simple and beautiful interfaces that accomplish complex business tasks. Keeping regular folks very happy, and the finance team too. 

We also want to empower and enable our partners through equally beautiful and effective digital interfaces so they can feel confident in interacting with their customers on behalf of Pleo.

We are now looking for a Senior Designer for our Partnerships domain who believes that, through elegant product design, we can change the way people work today for the better.
