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 don’t just build features; we build a global ecosystem. As a Senior TPM, you will own the long-term health and evolution of programs that fuel our Travel and Spend platforms. Your success isn't measured by the number of tickets closed, but by the seamless integration of technology, security, and finance that allows our customers to move money and people around the world without friction.

What You’ll Do
  • Program Strategy & Evolution: Drive the end-to-end delivery of complex programs, from initial discovery and technical scoping to global rollout and operationalization.

  • Complex Interdependency Mapping: Act as the strategic glue between Product & Engineering Builders, Customer Care, Finance, and other teams. You ensure alignment and transparency across these teams.

  • Risk & Compliance Orchestration: Proactively navigate the high-stakes intersection of fintech security and global travel regulations. You identify systemic risks before they impact the platform's integrity.

  • Operational Excellence: Continuously refine how our most critical departments (Finance, Legal, Security) plug into the engineering lifecycle to remove friction and deliver a 7 star customer experience.

  • Outcome-Driven Communication: Move beyond status updates to provide high-level visibility into program health, blockers, and trade-offs for leadership across global offices.

What You’ll Need
  • 5+ Years of Technical Program Management Experience: You have a proven track record of managing long-standing, navigating large-scale technical programs in high-growth environments in Fintech, TravelTech, or complex B2B SaaS.

  • The "T" in TPM: You have enough technical depth to partner effectively with engineers and architects. You can navigate discussions on API integrations, financial ledgers, and cloud infrastructure without getting lost. You can hold your own in a room of engineers and security architects, understanding the trade-offs of different infrastructure and security decisions.

  • Mastery of the "Internal Stakeholder" Matrix: Experience navigating the specific needs of Finance, Legal, and Compliance teams to ensure technical builds are "compliant by design."

  • Systems Thinking: Ability to see the "big picture" of a platform and understand how a change in one microservice ripples through the entire Spend/Travel ecosystem.

Impact Over Artifacts: You value clear, concise alignment over exhaustive documentation. You know how to use just enough process to keep a team moving fast without weighing them down.
