About the role

As an Onboarding Specialist at Perk, you’ll guide Premium and Pro customers across the Italian and other Perk emerging markets from signup to launch. You’ll learn how each customer works, configure our platform to meet their needs and lead a rollout that helps their teams adopt it with confidence.

You’ll own the implementation plan and act as the customer’s main point of contact throughout their onboarding. Working closely with customer stakeholders and internal teams, you’ll bring together platform configuration, technical coordination, training and change management to set each customer up for long-term success.

We take ownership of the customer experience from the first conversation through launch. That means listening closely, making practical recommendations, managing projects with care and working across teams to solve problems. We’re curious about technology and use data, feedback and AI tools to keep improving how we work.

What you’ll do

• Lead customer implementations from discovery through launch, owning the rollout plan, timelines, risks and next steps.

• Run consultative conversations to understand customer requirements, travel policies, stakeholders and goals.

• Configure customer accounts, coordinate integration needs, troubleshoot issues and check that the platform is ready to use.

• Use your understanding of each customer’s needs and data-driven best practices to recommend a practical rollout approach that supports adoption across their organisation.

• Deliver tailored training for key stakeholders, including company-wide and executive audiences where needed.

• Monitor early booking activity after launch and proactively address gaps or concerns.

• Keep accurate records of customer requirements and decisions, using tools such as Gong and AI assistants to improve follow-up, ensure zero loss of customer data and reduce administrative work.

• Use feedback, data and coaching to keep improving the customer onboarding experience and your own approach.

• Take on additional projects related to IS Team alignment with other departments. Ensure that project team members have a clear understanding of timelines, tasks, risks and issues.

What we’re looking for

• Full professional proficiency in written and spoken Italian and English. Polish, Spanish or Ukrainian language skills would be a plus.

• Previous relevant professional experience either as an Implementation Specialist, Sales, Account Management, Project Management or other related roles.

• Experience managing customer expectations, coordinating stakeholders and keeping multiple workstreams on track.

• Strong project coordination, communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to understand customer requirements and explain technical solutions clearly.

• Curiosity about AI tools and a willingness to use them to work more effectively.

• A proactive, solution-oriented approach to challenges.

• Ability to build relationships with stakeholders at different levels and adapt your communication to each audience.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment and managing competing priorities.

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.

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.
