Flexible Work Policy

• Until local governments and health professionals say it is safe to work from an office, TravelPerk will offer you 100% remote working from the country you are employed in.
• Once it is safe, you will need to be based in or relocate to Spain, UK or Germany for this position.
• You can be based anywhere in the country you are employed from but we will require you to travel to the office hub in your country in either Barcelona, London or Berlin, once per week.
• In addition, every six weeks you will be required to travel to an office hub location for 3 to 5 days to meet with your whole team and sometimes the rest of the company for an event. 
• We have core working hours between 10:00-15:00 CET. 
• Team members that want to go to the office more than once per week are welcome to!

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.
