After working in the tech industry for many years and selling their previous company, Mohannad El-Barachi and David Li were on a mission to help business leaders across all industries. Throughout their careers, they found themselves and others like them losing time, energy, and focus to repetitive business processes that didn’t contribute to the bottom line for organizations. They knew there was a better way. In late 2019, they created Wrk as the solution to this problem. Our team has grown considerably in the last year and we continue to expand to deliver scalable results for our clients. In December 2020, we closed our Series A round of funding, in total raising over $55 million CAD. We've recently launched our Self-Serve Platform to help our clients even more. We've accomplished so much already and we aren't slowing down any time soon.

Learn from Industry Experts

Sometimes working with the smartest and brightest minds rubs off on you. Our leadership team is comprised of industry experts that act as mentors and are always happy to chat over a virtual coffee!

Ownership of Responsibilities

Each team member is empowered to work autonomously towards our common goals and encouraged to reach out if they need support or tools in order to perform at their peak. We want you to have more say in what you need to excel in your role.

Transparency

We know how important it is to be up to date with what’s going on in an organization and to align on a common goal. Our leadership team hosts a weekly all-hands call to fill us in on wins and lessons learned, share product updates, and encourage alignment on company-wide goals.

Remote Work

At Wrk, we value output and results. We know that everyone has lives outside of work and we don’t want you wasting precious time commuting when you could be spending that time doing whatever you choose. We are a remote-first organization. While Wrk is headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, we have employees based all over the world. For those who want to get out and see some colleagues, we have co-working spaces that can be reserved for collaborative meetings, off-site get-togethers, or just for some socializing time.

Truly Flexible Work Hours

We want to see results, not what time you log in or take your lunch. We don't use any tracking technology to monitor your daily tasks and value output. You're encouraged to work at a time that best benefits you, whether you're an early bird or a slow riser.

Wrk offers the following benefits and perks:

• Health benefits with premium paid 100% by the employer in Canada
• Dental
• Life insurance
• Wellness support
• Vision support
• RRSP contributions
• Unlimited PTO
• Paid sick days

DEIB is not an initiative, it's the way we live at Wrk.

Diversity to us isn’t checking boxes or filling quotas, it drives innovation. Removing the barriers that divide us is vital. We have DEI training that focuses on breaking down barriers while bringing us together. Wrk is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and proud to embrace what makes us each unique. Employment with Wrk is governed based on merit, competence, and qualifications. No one will be influenced in any manner by race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, gender, national origin/ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, Veteran status or any other legally protected status.

As a remote company, we recognize that we are collective in many locations across Canada and the United States. We recognize both the land and the Indigenous people who lived — and in many situations continue to live — on the land prior to Canada's and the US’ colonial history. We specifically acknowledge Wrk is registered on the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehà:ka, a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst many First Nations including the Kanien’kehá:ka of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Huron/Wendat, Abenaki, and Anishinaabeg.

Diverse Employee Body

• Wrk represents 73 nations

Performance Reviews

Twice a year, we have formal performance reviews so we can align, see where you're at in your development, and help you grow. We offer internal growth opportunities and opportunities to help you further hone your skills and contribute cross-functionally if you have an interest in areas outside your role or department.

We have defined career paths and provide access to training and resources to help you focus on your professional development. We also frequently offer Lunch & Learn sessions for the whole Wrk team to learn something new!

Being a remote-first organization can lead to teams feeling like they're stuck in silos and prevent people from getting to know each other. We offer different types of opportunities to collaborate and socialize with other team members such as:

• Culture-building social events, virtual holiday parties, Lunch & Learn sessions, etc.
• Access to co-working spaces
• Donut Coffee Chats (Slack) one on ones with everyone and anyone, including our executive team
