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 http://www.perk.com/shadow-work-report.

BILLING TEAM The billing team owns tax determination, invoice issuance, invoice collection, and deferred payments. Right now the team is in the middle of some of its most significant technical work: migrating tax determination to a third-party integration, rearchitecting invoice issuance for async processing at scale, and automating a previously manual invoice collection process into a fully self-serve service, with AI at its core. There's also a growing stream of product-facing, frontend work as we look to improve the end-to-end billing experience. If you want
