How We Work: 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. 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.
