About Us

Perk (formerly TravelPerk) is the intelligent platform for travel and spend management.

By eliminating this shadow work that wastes hours, erodes morale, and saps innovation, we're on a mission to power real work, with real impact.

We're trusted by more than 10,000 companies worldwide, including Wise, On Running, Breitling, and Fabletics, and we're tackling the 7 hours of lost productivity per employee each week, a $1.7 trillion problem.

Founded in 2015, Perk has grown into a global company of more than 1,800 people across 12 offices globally, with headquarters in London and Boston. We combine innovation, control, and simplicity to transform how businesses work and how people feel at work.

At Perk, we're driven by our values, like being an owner, delivering a 7-star experience, and working as one team. We value curiosity, purpose, and mindset, not just knowledge, to unlock the power in your potential. Our talent-tense team brings together leading minds from travel and SaaS, representing over 70 countries. If you're excited about having a real impact and shaping how millions of people experience work, we'd love you on the team.

How We Work

Perk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to make sure the people behind our product reflect that. We're an equal opportunity employer, which means you're welcome at Perk regardless of how you look, where you're from, or anything else that makes you, well, you

We believe real connection happens in real life. That's why we follow an IRL-first approach, with most teams working together in person three days a week. Some roles, such as Customer Care, spend more time in the office to stay close to our customers and each other.

Our hubs are designed for collaboration and focus, spaces where ideas flow, creativity sparks, and people thrive.

We hire for potential, curiosity, and impact, not just formal credentials. What matters most is your ability to grow, learn, and make a difference.

As a global company serving diverse customers, we want our teams to reflect that same diversity. Whoever you are and wherever you're from, you're welcome at Perk.

At Perk, we use AI-powered tools to make parts of our recruitment process smoother and create a better experience for candidates, helping our Talent team focus on what matters most: connecting with people.
