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.

As a Product Designer at Perk, you'll work within a cross-functional team alongside a Product Manager and full-stack engineers in our Perk Events team.

Your primary responsibility will be designing the user experience for our events booking flows, everything from planning and booking group travel to inviting participants. You'll be part of a team focused on a specific aspect of this experience.

You will collaborate alongside a Senior Designer in the Perk Events team, with constant support from our Design peers. You'll own the features you design end-to-end-working with the Product Manager on goals, strategy, and discovery, through exploration and detailed design, and partnering with engineers to ensure quality implementation within timeline.

This is a UX/UI role with significant emphasis on UI responsibilities. You won't just be designing features, you'll be elevating the overall experience through improvements to information architecture, visuals, and interaction.

Required Skills

  • Experience 3+ years working as a Product Designer (ideally with SaaS products)

  • UI and interaction design: You have a strong grasp of visual, interaction and usability principles and know how to apply them to modern, complex interfaces across web and mobile.

  • System thinking and information architecture: You can turn complex information into clarity and architect information so users can move through intricate flows with ease.

  • Prototyping and tools: You're able to bring experiences to life beyond static screens, showing how a user experience flows and adapts across scenarios.

  • User research and testing: You have experience conducting user interviews and user testing, and you can craft a research plan with the help of more senior peers.

  • Technical collaboration: You grasp how software works conceptually and work effectively with engineers. You're comfortable with design systems.

  • Business thinking: You can work effectively with Product Managers, translating business goals into impactful design decisions.

  • Autonomy and communication: You work autonomously, present ideas confidently, and facilitate workshops. Fluent English required.

  • AI tools: You're comfortable using AI tools to enhance your workflow. You experiment with AI, use it efficiently, understand its principles, and stay curious about its potential.

  • Drive high-velocity execution in close collaboration with product and engineering, holding the bar on both craft and speed

  • Bridge user needs and business goals, making sure design has a clear voice in shaping what gets built and why

  • Conduct and synthesize user research to deeply understand customer problems, translating insights into clear, intuitive experiences that reduce complexity and guide users toward confident outcomes

  • Design travel experiences that feel fast, clear, and reliable for the people who use them every day

  • 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

What You'll Need

  • Strong customer empathy and design thinking

  • Fluency in data, using qualitative and quantitative signals to validate design decisions, measure impact, and inform tradeoffs

  • Demonstrated ability to influence product direction inside cross-functional teams

  • Ability to collaborate with multiple stakeholders and large cross-functional teams

  • Strong communication and storytelling skills, able to articulate design rationale, tradeoffs, and vision to product, engineering, and senior stakeholders

  • Passion for AI, shown through hands-on building, prototyping, or side projects, and staying current on research and tools.

  • Fluency with modern prototyping tools (e.g. Cursor, Bolt, Claude Code) and comfort with design/collaboration environments like Figma and Git.

Portfolio Requirements

Your portfolio should include at least 2 case studies. Each case study must show:

  • Your design process: Share what actually happened, even if it wasn't perfect.

  • Collaboration: Who did you work with?

  • Final work: Include visual examples (interactive prototypes or videos are even better)

  • Project context: State the client/company, your role, and whether it was a personal project

  • Specific examples: Show real work, not generic descriptions

Keep it simple and easy to read. A PDF or Figma link works fine-no need for a custom website.

Is this role right for you?

This role requires strong UI and interaction design skills, including a solid understanding of the theoretical principles behind effective interface design. If you're passionate about UI design and want to grow these skills further, we'd love to hear from you. If you're exploring other areas of design, feel free to check our careers page-we have roles where different skill sets are the primary focus.

How We Work

At Perk, we take an IRL-first approach to work, where our team works together in-person 3 days a week. As such, this role requires you to be based within commuting distance of our hubs. We fundamentally believe in the value of meeting in real life to improve connectivity, productivity, creativity and ultimately making us a great place to work.

For certain roles, we can help with relocation from anywhere in the world, English is the official language at the office. Please submit your resume in English if you choose to apply. Do not forget to submit an updated portfolio and/or resume.

Perk is a global company with a diverse customer base, and we want to make sure the people behind our product reflect that. 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.

Protect Yourself from Recruitment Scams

All official communication from Perk will always come from email addresses ending in @perk.com or @externalperk.com, our verified social media channels, or recruiters listed on our official LinkedIn page. We will never ask you to pay for equipment, training, or fees, request sensitive personal information such as bank details early in the process, or communicate through unofficial apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Signal. If you receive a message claiming to be from Perk that seems suspicious, please do not respond. Forward it to security [at] perk .com, and we will confirm whether it is legitimate.
