Flywire Company Culture & Values

Describe your company culture in one word. What made you pick that word?
Intentional. At Flywire, everything we do is purpose-driven. We’re intentional in how we hire, build inclusive teams and grow our people. I chose this word because we never settle for “good enough.” We ask the tough questions, think critically and make decisions that reflect our values. A great example is how we designed our global internship program, not just to fill short-term needs but to cultivate a lasting pipeline of future FlyMates. We partnered across regions to ensure students gained meaningful, hands-on experience aligned with their passions and our mission. It wasn’t just about checking a box, it was about investing in future leaders with care and clarity. Being intentional also means showing up for one another. When a global team member faced a family emergency, FlyMates across time zones rallied to shift workloads, cover meetings and offer personal support. It wasn’t mandated, it was instinctive. That’s who we are. Whether it’s the way we welcome new hires, design sustainable career paths or celebrate wins, we’re guided by the belief that every action counts. When you’re intentional, culture isn’t just a poster on the wall — it’s a lived experience every day.

What’s the coolest project you’ve worked on recently, and how did it help you grow professionally?
One of the coolest projects I’ve worked on recently was designing Flywire’s global recruiter “talent advisor” enablement program. As we scaled rapidly across regions, it became clear that our recruiters needed more than just tools — they needed a consistent framework, training and support to operate as true talent advisors to the business. I led the effort to build a curriculum from scratch, covering everything from intake strategy and candidate experience to data storytelling and inclusive hiring practices.

This project helped me grow immensely as a coach and builder. I saw firsthand how investing in our team’s development fuels confidence, consistency and impact across the board. Watching recruiters apply what they learned, advising hiring managers more strategically, pushing for better outcomes and elevating the Flywire candidate experience, was deeply fulfilling. It reminded me that the most powerful growth often comes from empowering others to thrive.

What values do you ideally want to see in an employer?

To me, an employer should embody values that align with my own while also fostering an environment that encourages me to grow and live those values more fully. I am driven by a genuine passion for meaningful work and I thrive when I can share a sense of collective pride through collaboration with a global team of FlyMates. Most importantly, as part of our education vertical, I am inspired by the opportunity to help millions of students worldwide pursue higher education, graduate and build careers of their own.

How does your employer show a commitment to some (or all) of these?

Many companies claim to encourage employees to make a positive impact in their communities, but Flywire truly enables us to do so in tangible, meaningful ways. Through initiatives like FlyBetter Days, I am given dedicated time to volunteer and contribute directly to my community. With FlyMatch, the donations I choose to give to causes I care about are amplified, reflecting a real partnership between my values and my employer’s support. And through programs like School the World, where FlyMates volunteer in countries such as Guatemala, Panama and soon the Philippines, I see firsthand how our collective efforts expand access to education globally. These initiatives not only allow me to live my values but also provide deep fulfillment — both personally and professionally — by knowing the work I do is tied to something much larger than myself.

Why is it important to you that your work (and workplace leaders) share these values? 

To me, it is essential that my values are reflected by my employer. I believe an organization should be conscious of its impact on the world and committed to making it better. When that commitment is clearly communicated throughout the company and woven into the culture, it not only strengthens my pride in being part of the organization but also empowers me to contribute more meaningfully in my role. Knowing that my work aligns with a larger purpose enables me to make a greater impact, both within the company and in the broader community we serve.
