PR Executive

PR. Two little letters that, when brought together in harmony, can unlock a whole new stratosphere for company growth and credibility.

In the last two years our in-house PR team have managed 10 market launches, engaged a pan-european comms agency and been able to deliver a fully rounded PR strategy that has in turn resulted in doubling our coverage numbers

As a company we’ve got all the pieces in place…

1. A great vision and brand purpose that drives us: to make everyone feel valued at work.
2. A consistently best-in-class rated spending solution in Europe, helping companies unlock autonomy, trust and better work.
3. Charismatic founders, C-levels, board members and team altogether, ready for comment, profile or the occasional byline.
4. Some pretty big ambitions and growth targets.

One of the biggest growth efforts we’re shooting for this year is solidifying our brand across our European markets with a focus on Spain, France, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Germany and UK. It takes a team effort to make this all successful, and we’re looking for someone who can slot into an incredibly busy proactive press office and keep the plates spinning!

This person will play a hands-on role, assisting the PR Lead in driving key comms and PR projects across our key markets, supporting the management of key external agencies and the day-to-day press activity.

You’ll be part of a two person team, reporting directly to the Global PR Lead!

We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented PR Executive to support our PR activities in these regions and assist with the UK market. This role will involve tactical execution and coordination.

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.
