• Value Articulation: Clearly communicate Perk’s value proposition and build immediate credibility with prospective clients.

• Product Mastery: Stay expert-level on Perk’s product offerings and industry trends.

Requirements

• Value-Driven Discovery: You master Perk’s value proposition early, allowing you to ask smart discovery questions and handle client objections with confidence.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: You collaborate seamlessly with Account Executives to ensure smooth handover of leads and high show-up rates for meetings.

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 prioritize accounts, draft and refine outreach, handle customer interactions more effectively, synthesize 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.

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.
