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-tense team brings together leading minds from travel and SaaS, representing over 70 countries.

The Role

Are you a driven, determined, and energetic German-speaking sales professional who thrives on building connections and closing deals? Do you love the thrill of transforming a “maybe” into a “yes”? If so, we want you on our team. 
At TravelPerk, we’re revolutionising how companies manage business travel — and we’re growing fast in the DACH market. As an Account Executive, you’ll play a critical role in that growth. Reporting to the Sales Manager, you’ll work closely with a high-performing, international sales team to bring our innovative solution to organisations that are ready for a better way to book, manage, and optimise their business travel.

This is more than a job — it’s a chance to join a supportive, fun-loving, multicultural team that’s as ambitious as you are. Let’s change the travel game together.

What will you be doing?

  • Managing a mix of inbound and outbound leads across the DACH region, with the support of our marketing and sales development teams.
  • Running impactful, solution-focused product demos and taking ownership of the full sales cycle through to close.
  • Understanding the needs and pain points of prospects, and communicating how TravelPerk adds real value to their business.
  • Keeping your pipeline organised and up-to-date in Salesforce, ensuring clear visibility and strong forecasting.
  • Collaborating with Marketing to boost brand awareness and refine our lead qualification process.
  • Engaging confidently with stakeholders at all levels — from Office Managers to CFOs — to demonstrate the TravelPerk value proposition.
  • Becoming a product expert on TravelPerk and staying sharp as we continuously roll out new features and improvements.

What will you need to succeed?

  • Native-level German and high fluency in English — essential for connecting with our DACH customers.
  • Proven success in a sales-driven role, especially in a phone-based environment with a strong focus on prospecting and hunting.
  • Solid understanding of B2B solution selling, ideally within a short sales cycle model.
  • Tenacity, resilience, and a results-driven mindset — you don’t stop until the job is done.
  • A strong team player who also thrives when working independently.
  • A true customer-first attitude and a passion for solving problems.
  • Legal authorization to work in Spain.

How We Work

We believe real connection happens in real life. That’s why we follow an IRL-first approach, with most teams working together in person three days a week. Some roles, such as Customer Care, spend more time in the office to stay close to our customers and each other.

Our hubs are designed for collaboration and focus, spaces where ideas flow, creativity sparks, and people thrive.

We hire for potential, curiosity, and impact, not just formal credentials. What matters most is your ability to grow, learn, and make a difference.

As a global company serving diverse customers, we want our teams to reflect that same diversity. Whoever you are and wherever you’re from, you’re welcome at Perk.

At Perk, we use AI-powered tools to make parts of our recruitment process smoother and create a better experience for candidates, helping our Talent team focus on what matters most: connecting with people. Every hiring decision is made by real humans, our talent team and hiring managers, not by AI.
