Apply nowMessy 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.

About the role

In this role, you’ll help shape the future of Pleo’s finance systems landscape — designing, implementing, and evolving our core financial platforms, NetSuite including Advanced Revenue Management (ARM), ZoneBilling, Zuora, Omnea, ContractPod AI, Spiff, a new TMS, plus integrations across our broader tech stack.

You’ll work closely with Finance, Revenue Operations, and Data teams to translate business goals into scalable, compliant, and efficient system solutions. This is a strategic, hands-on role with significant impact across the business.

If you’re excited about building modern, connected financial systems, driving automation and auditability, and creating the foundation for smooth, insight-driven operations, this is the opportunity for you.

What you’ll be doing

As a Senior Finance Systems Engineer, you will:

• Own the roadmap and architecture for Pleo’s core finance systems, ensuring scalability, stability and auditability.
• Partner with Finance, RevOps, and Data teams to understand business needs and translate them into effective technical solutions.
• Lead large-scale initiatives across NetSuite and other finance platforms from implementation and optimisation to automation and data integrity.
• Provide technical and functional guidance to the Finance Systems team, setting best practices for configuration, integration, and change management.
• Guide decision-making on system architecture, process design, and long-term platform evolution.
• Foster strong relationships with cross-functional teams to ensure finance systems enable, not block, business agility.

What you bring

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• 7+ years of experience in finance systems, ERP, or business systems engineering ideally with a strong NetSuite background.
• A deep, hands-on understanding of accounting principles (e.g. General Ledger, AR, AP, Revenue Recognition). A relevant degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field is a plus, but demonstrated real-world system design and configuration experience is essential.
• Strong program and project management skills, with the ability to drive complex, cross-functional initiatives and manage stakeholders effectively.
• A strong focus on control and compliance, including writing detailed Solution Design documentation and building robust UAT frameworks to support financial and ITGC audits.
• Familiarity with SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF), version control (GitHub or similar), and best practices for configuration management.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills — you speak both the language of Finance and Technology.
• A genuine curiosity and drive to build systems that make complex things simple.

Who you’ll be working with and reporting to

You’ll report to our Director of Internal Technology and work closely with teams across Finance, Revenue Operations, and Data. You’ll collaborate directly with a NetSuite Developer and a Zuora Developer, driving quality and alignment across Finance Systems initiatives.
As part of the Internal Technology group, which also includes Tech Ops and People Tech you’ll join a team responsible for the tools, data, and infrastructure that keep Pleo running smoothly.

We’re a collaborative, forward-thinking group focused on security, scalability, and creating seamless internal experiences for every Pleoer.

How you’ll develop in this role
In your first 6-12 months at Pleo, you’ll:

• Lead the roadmap evolution of our finance systems, driving automation and improved integration across platforms.
• Partner with Finance leadership to deliver scalable solutions that support audit readiness, compliance, and business growth.
• Grow your skills in Pleo’s finance tooling, from billing and revenue to analytics and reporting helping define what “best in class” looks like at scale.

We’re committed to helping you develop your career, whether that means taking on bigger projects, stepping into leadership, or acquiring new skills in Finance Systems.
