The Relay Hybrid Work Model

At Relay, relationships are at the core of everything we do - and this translates to how we approach our customers and our work internally. Relay strives to be long-term relational partners versus transactional vendors to our customers. You will be encouraged to get in front of our customers and/or attend a trade show as a Relayer, regardless of your role. 

Internally, Relayers endeavor to build authentic, caring, and trusted relationships with each other.

With these principles in mind, and because we believe relationships are formed more quickly and deeply in-person, we greatly value the power of collaborating together with our customers on-site at their properties, and with each other in our spectacular and amenity-rich office.

Our relational approach is also at the heart of why we ask all Relayers in our hybrid model to work from the office a minimum of 3 days per week. 

At this time Relay is unable to provide sponsorship for employment. In order to be considered for employment, applicants must be currently legally authorized to work in the US and not require future sponsorship in order to continue working for Relay.
