Senior Product Manager

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 Senior Product Manager to join our Decision Intelligence team in the Enterprise Engineering vertical. In this role, you'll drive the vision, strategy, and execution of our fraud prevention and AML technology stack  building advanced capabilities that protect our customers, mitigate risk, and ensure we scale safely.

As a Senior Product Manager – Decision Intelligence, you will:

• Lead the roadmap for our fraud and AML decisioning platform, from early detection to real-time prevention.
• Collaborate with engineering, data science, compliance, and finance teams to design scalable, automated controls.
• Use data-driven insights to identify evolving fraud and AML patterns, and translate them into actionable product solutions.
• Partner with regulators, compliance, and operations teams to ensure our tech stack meets (and exceeds) regulatory standards.
• Drive continuous improvement of fraud detection accuracy and operational efficiency through experimentation and innovation.
• Advocate for a proactive, prevention-first approach to risk across the organisation.
• Experience with machine learning–driven decisioning probabilistic systems.

You'll thrive in this role if you have:

• Proven experience building or scaling fraud prevention and AML technology stacks in fintech, banking, or payments.
• Deep understanding of fraud typologies, transaction monitoring, case management tools, and compliance workflows.
• Strong product management skills from shaping vision and strategy to delivering features that drive measurable impact.
• Data fluency: ability to work closely with analysts and data scientists to define metrics, assess performance, and iterate fast.
• An appetite for risk — not in taking it recklessly, but in owning the responsibility of managing it intelligently.
• Clear communication and stakeholder management skills to influence at all levels.
• A track record of working in cross-functional, fast-paced environments where priorities shift quickly.

Nice to have:

• Exposure to enterprise-scale fintech or payments platforms.
• Familiarity with European AML regulations and fraud risk frameworks.
