Our Values

The International Org
For many years, one of Justworks’ core competencies has been enabling US-based companies to reliably pay their domestic employees and contractors. The Money Movement team, part of the International Engineering organization, is responsible for building on top of that foundation to empower our customers to also pay their international employees and contractors. Our team’s current focus is on automating the entire multi-step, cross-border payment flow. Moving forward, our roadmap includes expanding into more supported countries, enabling currency flexibility, and increasing the speed of cross-border payments.
