About Us
Perk (formerly TravelPerk) is the intelligent platform for travel and spend management. Built to tackle the time-consuming, manual work that gets in the way of real work, our tools automate everything from travel bookings to expenses, invoice processing, and more. 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 team brings together leading minds from the travel and SaaS industries, 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.

At Perk, we build in small, empowered teams that move fast and care deeply about the quality of what they ship.
As a Product Designer at Perk, you'll own the experience, quality, and vision. You'll uncover real user problems, shape how they get solved, and drive execution with the craft and attention to detail that makes the difference between good and great.

What you'll do:
Drive high-velocity execution in close collaboration with product and engineering, holding the bar on both craft and speed

Prototype rapidly using tools like Claude and Cursor to explore interaction patterns early, accelerate decision-making, and shorten the path from idea to shipped product
Stay current on emerging AI trends and product patterns, building a clear point of view on what matters and bringing that perspective into how we design at Perk
Push design practice forward: championing the user inside the triad, contributing to a culture of high craft, and moving toward more iterative, AI-native ways of working
