Fullstack Data Analyst

Messy spend management is tricky business. 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

We’re looking for a Full Stack Data Analyst to join our Critical Data Products (CDP) team at Pleo. In this role, you'll be a key player in turning payment data into actionable insights that drive decisions across the company. You'll work end-to-end — from building data models to creating dashboards and presenting recommendations to stakeholders. You’ll partner closely with Product and Engineering teams in the Payments area to help improve payment performance, reduce failures, and strengthen decision-making through high-quality metrics and insight tooling.

You’ll also be part of the broader Product Hub, focused on enabling our full company to be data-driven, using analytics and AI to speed up.

Who you’ll be working with

You’ll be reporting to the Manager of the CDP team which sits within the Product Hub in the Data department. The CDP team includes members from Data Analytics, Data Engineering, Data Science and Analytics Engineering all working together to support a wide scope across KYC/Compliance, FinCrime, Credit, Card/Banking Infrastructure, Regulatory Reporting and product teams across Pleo, delivering critical data pipelines, dashboards, reporting, strategic insights and data enablement guidance. Our team values trust, reliability, business understanding, alignment, and proactivity.

What you’ll be doing

• Conduct analysis on transactional data, present insights, and share your recommendations with stakeholders.
• Support with payment migrations, incident follow-ups, and strategic work with clear, data-backed narratives, and work with engineers to ensure that the metadata passed is useful for downstream reporting.
• Empower internal teams with high-quality, self-serve reporting through dashboards and reports in Looker.
• Define and operationalise core payments metrics (for example success rate, approval/decline rates, processing costs, volume, and operational impact) by setting up robust analytics foundations in dbt.
• Support in automation of regulatory and compliance reports.

What you bring

• Advanced SQL skills and solid experience with data modeling in dbt.
• Solid experience with data visualisation tools, specifically Looker and LookML.
• Hands-on experience in payments analytics and a solid grasp of core payment concepts (e.g., authorization/clearing/settlement, payment methods, decline reasons, chargebacks, fraud signals, risk).
• A strong sense of ownership and responsibility for your work, pragmatic problem-solving and stakeholder management skills.

Why is this role a good fit for you

• You are comfortable working following high engineering and data platform standards (e.g. CI/CD, code reviews, PRs, established data governance…)
• You are excited to partner closely with non-technical business domain experts and to learn from senior colleagues from many data disciplines.
• You want to deepen your knowledge and expertise of the payments and finance domains.

This role may not be for you

• You haven’t previously worked with payments infrastructure: this is a non-negotiable for us.
• You find it difficult to proactively engage with colleagues outside of the Data world.
• You have never worked on a codebase that is largely shared between many people.

How you’ll develop in this role

• Dive into the payments infrastructure that is the backbone of everything that we do at Pleo.
• Grow your career in a supportive culture where you'll gain cross-functional insights from our team including Data Engineers, Data Analysts, and Analytics Engineers, as well as from payment experts.
• Gain hands-on experience on transforming raw data into insights that drive business value.

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

The location

The role can be based in Denmark, Portugal, Spain or the UK. We can hire either remotely, hybrid or in office but you need to be physically based in any of those countries. Please note we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role in any of the listed locations.

Show me the benefits!

• Your own Pleo card (no more out-of-pocket spending!)
• Lunch is on us for your work days - enjoy catered meals or receive a lunch allowance based on your local office.
• Comprehensive private healthcare - depending on your location, coverage options include Vitality, Alan or Médis.
• We offer 25 days of holiday + your public holidays.
• For our Team, we offer both hybrid and fully remote working options.
• Option to purchase 5 additional days of holiday through a salary sacrifice.
• We use MyndUp to give our employees access to free mental health and well-being support.
• Paid parental leave - we want to make sure that we’re supportive of families.

The Interview Process

• Intro call: A 30-minutes chat with our Talent Partner to discuss the role and your background.
• A SQL coding exercise you complete separately.
• A Hiring Manager interview: A 60-minutes meeting with the team manager to deep dive into your technical experience, domain knowledge and project experience.
• A Team interview: a 60-minutes interview with the team where we’ll deep dive into your analytical approach and business domain knowledge.

Transparency is important to us so we also wanted to share some insights about what we’re looking for in applications to ensure you can set yourself up for success!

A Fullstack Data Analyst at Pleo is someone who can equally spar with business stakeholders while also getting into the weeds of dbt tables management. We really care about payments domain knowledge as much as we care about your SQL/dbt/Looker skills.
