Hello!

Thanks for checking out our job posting for the role of Marketing, Community & Events Intern at PerchPeek. You’ve already taken a tiny step towards being a part of our team – hooray!

We know that taking your next career step is as exciting as it can be exhausting. So, with that in mind, we’ve tried to keep our description simple and cliché free to help you decide if PerchPeek and this role are a good match for you.

WHAT IS PERCHPEEK?

Have you ever relocated before? Did you manage to do it without eye rolling or swearing? Or if you haven’t ever relocated, how do you feel about the prospect of figuring it all out on your own? Finding a place to stay, shipping your stuff, organizing utilities and new bank accounts…the list of things to organise goes on and on. No matter where in the world you go, relocating is a complicated, time-intensive, and stressful process. PerchPeek was conceived to change that.

Our aim is to guide people through every stage of their relocation. Our product is a delightful combination of tech, relocation coaching, content & partnerships which work together to make moving simpler, faster, and more fun.
