Staff Delivery Lead / Technical Program Manager

Intro

At Pleo, we’re on a mission to revolutionise the way businesses manage company spending. No more outdated processes, clunky spreadsheets, or frustrating delays - we believe spend management should be seamless, empowering, and surprisingly effective for finance teams and employees alike. We’re creating tools that promote autonomy, foster trust, and let businesses focus on what truly matters. 

Our culture is built on transparency, collaboration, and a deep commitment to innovation – which is reflected in our spending solution. At Pleo, you’ll join a passionate team shaping the future of work, all while having some fun along the way.

About the role

We're looking for a Staff Technical Program Manager / Delivery Lead to join our Product & Engineering organisation at Pleo. In this role, you'll help drive strategic, cross-functional programs and shape the way we deliver complex initiatives across teams. You’ll be part of a high-impact group leading change and scaling how we bring innovative products to life. If you're excited about solving hard problems, influencing at scale, and building world-class delivery practices, then this is the opportunity for you!

What you’ll be doing 

As a Staff TPM/Delivery Lead, you will:

• Lead large-scale, high-impact programs across multiple domains to deliver key business outcomes.
• Partner with cross-functional leaders in Engineering, Product, Design, and Operations to align on goals, plans, and progress.
• Proactively manage dependencies, identify risks early, and ensure on-time delivery across several programs simultaneously.
• Influence and align executive stakeholders through structured communication and insights.
• Coach teams and leaders on Agile best practices, driving scalable delivery processes and continuous improvement.
• Shape and evolve our delivery frameworks and tools to maximise team effectiveness and transparency.
• Engage in technical discussions to support decision-making on architecture and system trade-offs.

What you'll bring

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• Extensive experience leading complex, technical programs (10+ years in TPM, software delivery, or engineering leadership roles).
• Strong technical fluency, with the ability to understand system architecture and contribute to conversations on scalability and delivery risk.
• Proven influence across product, engineering, and leadership stakeholders to drive outcomes and alignment.
• Excellent communication skills – able to clearly articulate challenges, priorities, and decisions across all levels.
• Agile coaching experience, including scaling methodologies and frameworks across multiple teams.
• A bias for action, combined with strong strategic thinking and the ability to manage ambiguity.
• Experience working in fast-paced, high-growth tech environments is a big plus.
