Company mission
To erase the work behind the work that is costing your business trillions and draining your teams of morale and productivity. At Perk, we call it shadow work.
Role
Who you are
- Strong experience working for a SaaS product
- Experience working with Sketch / Figma and remote workshop tools like FigJam / Miro
- Being able to design for desktop but also mobile if it’s necessary
- Solid communication skills (verbal and written). You are comfortable presenting ideas to multiple stakeholders and articulately defending design decisions
- Ability to influence product roadmaps working alongside Product Managers and Engineers
- Advocating for *Suitcase* our Design System
- Regular interaction with customers and prospects to understand the problem space
- A positive and proactive team player
- English language skills to a professional level, both writing and speaking
What the job involves
- The TravelPerk Product Design team is looking for its next top hire for the Policy & Control squad
- If you consider yourself an autonomous Senior Product Designer who has worked on SaaS products, and keeps the customer at the heart of everything you do, read on…
- In TravelPerk, we work in “squads” which are small, autonomous teams made up of full-stack engineers, a Product Manager, and a Product Designer
- As a Senior Product Designer, you’ll be part of a product trio that will help lead your squad but we also like to see our Designers contributing to the wider Design and Product functions
- As a Senior Product Designer working for the Policy & Control squad you’ll be in charge of offering a 7* experience to company admins looking for a tool that will make managing their business travel more efficient
- Allowing them to have rules over company spend and empowering their teams to book their own travel
- This role can be based from our London or Barcelona hubs and requires you to be in the office once per week, or four times per month
- Focus on UX over UI: we expect you to be really good at creating experiences. Having a Design System in place, you should have good UI skills but they won’t be your focus
- Developing a partnership with your Product Manager to fully understand customer needs and business value, challenging each other to raise the bar for your product area
- Be able to know when to run your own research or lean on our in-house Research team to co-ordinate usability tests, discovery sessions, or any other analysis that helps you build your experiences
- Working with our data team to interrogate various data sources to uncover relevant quantitative insights
- Working with our Content Design team to fine tune the message that your features are conveying
- Ideating quickly and effectively with your squad, favouring communication and collaboration over ping-ponging via tools
- Understanding technical constraints and opportunities through a fundamental understanding of web technologies (HTML5, CSS, JS, APIs) allowing you to communicate ideas effectively with engineers and fellow designers
- Continuously optimizing the design process in your squad and across the wider team
- Testing and optimizing low–high fidelity prototypes with key stakeholders and customers to iteratively validate that we are solving the right problems
- Mentoring and supporting fellow designers, bringing your unique skill-set and continually raising the bar of the team and our products
Our take
Although business travellers are often at the forefront of driving company growth, booking travel is typically a logistical nightmare as corporate travel tools are underdeveloped and stuck way in the past. Perk has built a platform free from micromanagement, creating an experience that puts business travellers first.
Perk's number of active users has grown year on year. Further, as well as more customers using the platform, those on it are using it more regularly. This is a clear signal that Perk has a product-market fit and is in scaling mode. The company has more than 2,000 customers, including scaleups like GetYourGuide, Breilting, Aesop and Medskin.
Recently rebranding from TravelPerk to Perk, the new name marks the next step in the company's transformation as it accelerates growth and broadens its mission beyond just travel management. The rebrand reflects its ambition to eliminate "shadow work" (hidden time-wasting tasks like filing expenses and chasing approvals), through AI-powered tools such as Perk Pay, which automates spend management and reduces fraud risks.
With dual headquarters in London and Boston as well as a growing footprint, Perk is evolving from a travel platform into a broader productivity partner for the modern business
