Senior Creative Project Manager - Brand

About Pleo 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. About the role The Creative Production studio team sits squarely within our Brand function working alongside our Brand Foundations team. You will report directly to the Director of Brand Strategy & Experience and join a tight-knit, highly experienced group of project management leads and producers. In this role, you will lead our internal Creative Production studio team, the execution engine delivering all branded assets across Pleo, including campaign and performance assets, global adaptation and localization, event branding, content marketing, web, socials and lifecycle design. You will balance hands-on delivery with direct people management for a team of three in-house designers and copywriter, ensuring our creative output remains fast, scalable, and sharp across all touchpoints. Who you’ll be working with and reporting to Our Brand department is 13 people across two teams: Brand Foundations and Creative Production. You'll lead the four-person Creative Production studio, a senior copywriter, two senior designers and a motion designer, spread across our European offices. Day to day, you'll work alongside a peer project lead on Brand Foundations, a brand strategist, our producers, and internal partners in Events, Lifecycle, Performance Marketing, HR/People Ops and Legal, plus our media agency. Most of the studio's clients are internal teams across Pleo. What you’ll be doing As a Senior Creative Project Manager, you will: Creative Production & Operations • Studio Ownership: Lead end-to-end execution across all creative production studio work streams, ensuring projects hit quality benchmarks, deadlines, and brand standards. This is also not just intake of brand requests but also spotting opportunities proactively for brand involvement and governance across the business. • Project Management: Own intake of BAU requests, filtering and assigning work while acting as the bridge between requestors and the studio team. Define scope upfront and ensure the team has what it needs to execute. Contribute to project plans for integrated campaigns and large events and manage Creative studio kick-offs, status reporting, and timeline and milestone tracking. • Core Output Focus: Oversee production for high-performing marketing assets, market localization and adaptations, event branding, and content marketing. • Process & Integration: Partner closely with peer project leads, producers, and the Brand Foundations team to streamline intake briefs, cross-team handoffs, and resource sharing. • Global Asset Delivery: Manage asset adaptation frameworks to keep our brand consistent across different regions and
