Organisational Development Manager

At Pleo, we are committed to building an empowered and kind performance culture - one that supports our people in learning, growing, and reaching their full potential every day. We're at an exciting inflection point: we've just created our first company-wide performance framework, and we're about to launch it. Now, we need someone who can take it from process and principles to culture - embedding it deeply into the way we work, learn, and develop.
