How we work

This role requires you to be within commuting distance of our Barcelona, Edinburgh or Birmingham hubs (https://www.travelperk.com/contact/). IRL (in real life) collaboration is essential and core to our company mission, but we want to provide our team with flexible working arrangements. To balance both, we have adopted a hybrid working style. You’ll be expected to work from your local hub office at least three days a week (more days during onboarding is encouraged!) to maximise IRL connection. If you’d like to go to your hub more than that, you are welcome to!

At TravelPerk we believe that diversity adds incredible value to our teams, our products, and our culture. We don’t just accept differences—we celebrate it, we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our products and our community. As an equal opportunity employer, we stay true to our mission by ensuring that our place can be anyone’s place regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, disability or age.
