About the Role

At TravelPerk, we’re not just revolutionising the world of business travel—we’re setting the standard for what it means to be a top employer. Our people-first values are the foundation of our success, and we are dedicated to delivering meaningful and competitive employee experiences.

As we continue to scale, we’re looking for a Benefits Manager who thrives in an autonomous, hands-on role, where they can shape, execute, and continuously improve benefits programs across the UK, Spain, Germany, and the US.

This is a senior individual contributor position, reporting to the Senior Director of Total Rewards, where you’ll own the end-to-end benefits strategy and operations. You’ll work closely with leadership, vendors, People Operations and employees to create best-in-class programs while ensuring seamless delivery.

If you love balancing strategy with execution, making data-driven decisions, and solving challenges in a fast-paced environment, we’d love to meet you and tell you more about our plans!


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Owning and executing benefits administration: Partnering with People Operations to support managing the day-to-day operations of global benefits, including enrollment, payroll integrations, compliance, and resolving employee queries.
  • Managing vendors and systems: Serving as the primary point of contact for external benefits providers, negotiating contracts, overseeing invoices, and managing benefit systems, such as Darwin in the UK, Benify in Spain and Insperity in the US. HiBob is our internal HRIS.
  • Managing renewals and benefit implementations: Managing global benefit renewals throughout the year and any new benefit implementations. Including surveying employees, measuring employee satisfaction, creating and delivering employee communications and in person presentations.
  • Solving problems and handling escalations: Troubleshooting system and employee issues, ensuring smooth benefits processes across all regions.
  • Strategic planning and benchmarking: Researching market trends, identifying opportunities, and recommending improvements to maintain competitive, employee-centric benefits offerings.
  • Collaborating cross-functionally: Partnering with Payroll, People Operations, and Finance to ensure seamless execution and compliance of benefits programs.
  • Taking full ownership: Managing benefits independently with minimal oversight, ensuring both operational excellence and long-term strategic improvements.


What We’re Looking For

  • Extensive experience in benefits administration, with a strong track record of managing programs across multiple countries.
  • Deep system expertise, particularly with Darwin or similar benefits platforms, and ability to navigate complex administrative processes. Experience with various platforms is a plus, along with the ability to quickly adapt to new systems you may not have used before.
  • Scrappy, hands-on approach, comfortable managing multiple operational tasks across different systems.
  • Independent problem solver who thrives in managing benefits autonomously with little leadership involvement.
  • US benefits experience is a plus but not required—a high-level understanding and willingness to learn are expected.
  • Strong vendor management and negotiation skills, with experience overseeing external providers and ensuring cost-effective benefits solutions.
  • Analytical mindset with data fluency, capable of forecasting costs and optimizing benefits strategy.
  • Experience in fast-growing, high-change environments, where adaptability and execution are key.
  • A comfortable presenter, the role requires regular presenting to employees in each of our locations, whether it’s monthly new joiner on-boardings (held virtually) or annual renewal launch presentations (held in real life).
