Sales development representatives here at Pleo have two main outcomes with their role: to grow the business itself in Sweden, and to make Pleo as everyday as apples to employees. The other outcome is to make sure that you as a SDR develop yourself up into key roles in the Swedish team or another one and scale at the same rate as our company. Our SDR position gears you up with a solid foundation for your sales career, with a focus in B2B, SaaS and hustling as a part of a hypergrowth company.

We're looking for someone who is hungry to grow, and will do whatever it takes to progress. We will give you all the training and skills you need to succeed in this role. At the same time, we will also expect you to take responsibility, and jump on opportunities to grow the business where you see them.

You will be part of our initial landing team based in London, and your focus will be to bring in new business to Pleo. This will be all the way from prospecting, reaching out to potential clients, and booking meetings. You will then have a chance to attend meetings, and work closely with Account Managers on the accounts.

What's the product?

We are Pleo - it's a part of who we are as a tech company. We help customers to delegate employee spending through a business spending platform. This ends out of pocket spending, encourages autonomy and trust in employees, and takes a huge burden off the finance team. You'll be selling the SaaS tool (expensing platform) that comes with physical pre-paid cards (so with a fintech twist) that are then distributed to all employees of the company. The best part is we're all users of Pleo ourselves - so it's a very applicable tool. It impacts anyone in a company who could spend money on behalf of their business - be it a coffee with clients or a Mac for a new hire.

What does it revolve around?

For us, the most important stakeholders are our users. We have a very special relationship with them - we even build most of our product features based on what they're looking for. We get so excited when our clients share their unboxing of their Pleo cards on LinkedIn, and see how dramatically Pleo can solve their pains. We as employees also share our own pains, and then we come together to try and solve them.

As an SDR your primary point of contact are the Pleo admins. These are the CFOs, CEOs, MDs, Operations Directors and everyone else who might be the decision maker in regards to the spending policy in a company. We ensure that our Pleo admins are knowledgeable about the product and equipped to roll out our product to all their employees. You should be able to and feel comfortable speaking to everyone - your touch points will range from Financial Assistants and interns to CFOs and MDs. 

What's up to me?

Pretty simply - to bring the good news of Pleo to your country, and get them to use it. The nice thing is there's so much freedom here. If you're an expert outbounder - do that. If you're a genius with email outreach, go that way. You will have targets of booking meetings, and converting them into sales together with Account Managers. You'll also be supported by marketing - who deliver warm leads straight into your pipe (at a above-industry-standard rate).

Sweden, you say? 🇸🇪

Demand from our Danish customers has also lead a lot of requests for Pleo in Sweden. This is why we are opening up our first position to service the Swedish market - the one you're reading right now.

Working at Pleo means you're working on something very exciting: the future of work. Through fintech we've seen a way to impact how people work; 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.

Being HQ'd out of Copenhagen means we're inspired by sensible things like a good work-life balance, whether our office is in Copenhagen or not.
