Community Experience Associate

The role:

At TravelPerk, we are cultivating an organizational culture and employee experience centered around genuine connection and a sense of belonging. Why? Because in order to do great work, we believe that it’s crucial that our people feel connected to our mission and to each other. Ultimately leading to an environment where people feel empowered to share, unlocking different perspectives that create innovative solutions to complex problems.

We have always given our culture critical importance. It’s through our shared mission and values that we create a sense of belonging and a sense of purpose between our employees. That’s exactly what our Community team is in charge of: to bring TravelPerkers together over our Mission and our Culture. We empower our global community to thrive at work through enriching experiences and meaningful moments. We believe that our culture comes alive when we’re together IRL. This looks like events throughout the year for the entire company or local hubs to come together for moments that matter.

This year we have seen exponential growth within our NAM team, especially in Chicago. As the team continues to grow, we want to make sure that we maintain a strong sense of belonging and connection to TK culture within the Hub. As NAM Community Experience Associate, you will be responsible for creating and maintaining the artifacts of TravelPerk’s culture. From enhancing our Onboarding experience to creating exciting and engaging experiences within the workspace, your key goal will be to attract, retain and engage great talent.
