  • A proven hunter mindset – you’re energized by building pipeline and closing net new deals.
  • Comfort engaging with senior decision‑makers and adapting your message to different personas.
  • A self‑sufficient and organized approach to work – but you’re still a team player at heart.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, especially via video and phone.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation for this role is a combination of salary, commissions, and stock options. The OTE (base + commission) is $165,000. The commission structure will be tied to the achievement of revenue & retention targets. Commissions are uncapped.

AI at Perk

AI is embedded in how we work across every function. The tools you’ll use day‑to‑day are AI‑enabled so you can move faster and spend more time on the work that matters. In practice, that means using AI to research and prioritise accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesise information, and cut through shadow work – the invisible tasks that pull people away from the work only they can do – so you can focus on relationships and outcomes.

We don’t expect you to be an AI expert, but we do expect you to be curious and intentional about it. The bar is judgment: knowing when AI makes your work better, when to verify what it produces, and when to rely on your own expertise instead.

We’ll ask about how you use AI in your interviews, not to test tool knowledge, but to understand how you think about it. That reflects how we work every day.

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.

Equal Opportunity Employer

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.
