About Us

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

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.

• Help millions of employees and thousands of finance teams seamlessly manage expenses, cards, and invoice processing.

• Prototype rapidly using tools like Claude and Cursor to accelerate the product development lifecycle and fast-forward to production-ready products.

• Stay deeply plugged into AI research, industry trends, and emergent applications, filtering signal from noise and applying it creatively to Perk products

• Empower Your Team:Lead with a servant-leadership approach help stay focused, remove distractions, and foster creativity and collaboration

What You’ll Need

• Strong customer empathy and design thinking, with a passion to understand the entire expense lifecycle - from the moment of spend inception through automated reconciliation to final posting in the ERP system - and the specific friction points unique to complex accounting workflows
