Team Lead Travel & Spend Implementation

About Us

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.

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.

You’ll ensure implementations run smoothly, quickly, and with quality — so clients start seeing value from Perk as fast as possible.

  Take full accountability for implementations delivered by your team. Ensure customers are onboarded accurately, efficiently, and start actively using the platform as quickly as possible.

• Be the first line of escalation
  Support your team through challenges by handling first-level escalations, ensuring issues are resolved quickly and customers stay confident in Perk.

• Partner cross-functionally
  Work closely with Sales, Pre-Sales, Account Management, Revenue Operation teams, and other stakeholders to ensure seamless handoffs, clear expectations, and implementations that meet both client and business goals.

• Elevate implementation excellence
  Use your experience to mentor your team on leading end-to-end implementations. Ensure projects stay on track, meet timelines, and maintain a high quality bar.

• Drive operational excellence
  Build and refine processes that make implementations more efficient, scalable, and consistent — supporting a fast-growing, volume-driven business.

• Be KPI-driven
  Own and report on core performance metrics across your team, using data to identify improvements and drive results.

• Lead through change
  Guide your team through evolving processes, tools, and customer needs. Ensure changes are adopted smoothly and confidently.
