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 alikeâwith a vision to help all businesses âgo beyondâ.
The word âPleoâ actually means âmore than youâd expectâ, and living by that mantra has been the secret to our success over the last 10 years.
Now, weâre 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 canât say weâve got this whole thing figured out. And frankly, thatâs half the fun! What we can say is that weâre 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 Customer Due Diligence / KYC Analyst to join our Customer Due Diligence Operations Team at Pleo. In this role, you'll be on the front lines, assessing and verifying customer information, conducting due diligence on low, medium and high-risk accounts, and ensuring we're fully compliant with all AML regulations.

- Conduct ad-hoc remediation projects
- Identify risks and propose and implement applicable controls to mitigate them.
- Support peers and contribute to increasing the organisational capability of the team.
What you bring:
- 1â2 years of experience performing Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) reviews for corporate high-risk clients.
- A solid understanding of high-risk industries and practical risk-mitigation approaches.
- Good knowledge of the end-to-end KYC and onboarding lifecycle.
- Familiarity with AML/KYC regulations and relevant industry guidance.
- Strong verbal and written English skills. Reading ability in a Scandinavian language is a plus for contextual research and document review.
- Comfort using AI tools to support analysis in a compliance setting.
- An ability to combine thorough, structured analysis with efficient delivery - you enjoy spotting patterns and bringing clarity to complex information while keeping cases moving and meeting team KPIs.
Youâll report to our Nordics & Baltics Customer Due Diligence Lead and work closely with remote teams across Europe and India. Our team is highly collaborative and focused on enabling a secure and efficient customer journey. Youâll also have the chance to partner with teams across Operations, Compliance, and Product to ensure success.
How youâll develop in this role In your first 6 months at Pleo, youâll:
- Achieve end-to-end mastery of Pleoâs Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. This includes reviewing low, medium, and high-risk cases, solving complex due diligence challenges, and ensuring every customer meets regulatory standards without unnecessary friction.
- Build strong, collaborative relationships with key stakeholders, including Sales, KYC Support, Compliance, and Framework teams, to help us find a scalable balance between fighting financial crime and championing the customer experience.
- Proactively manage a varied workload that includes complex onboarding cases and ongoing due diligence, providing reliable and detail-oriented support wherever the team needs it most.
