About Weel

Weel (formerly DiviPay) is Australia’s leading spend-management platform for ambitious finance teams. Our smart corporate cards, bill payments, reimbursements and real-time spend controls give customers a single command centre for every dollar that leaves the business.

For People & Culture leaders, Weel is a playground for innovation:

Hyper-growth FinTech with substance – regulated like a pseudo bank, launching into New Zealand this year and eyeing wider APAC. You will shape culture in a truly scale-ready environment.

Founders who get it – our CEO and CTO/CPO see People as a product in its own right. You’ll have direct access to the exec team and the mandate to experiment boldly.

Culture of collective accountability – every Weeler owns outcomes, not just tasks, creating fertile ground for high-performance frameworks.

Award-winning innovation – AFR Most Innovative Companies, Finnies Partnership of the Year with Slyp, and Xero Best Small Business App finalist.

Hybrid rhythm that works – three anchor days each week in our Sydney CBD WeWork hub for collaboration, coaching and the kind of hallway moments remote can’t replicate.

Join us to architect the people engine behind a FinTech that already feels like tomorrow’s bank.
