IrisCX has an employee stock option plan – one of the perks of joining a company as one of its foundational team members! Stock options are built directly into our compensation plan and are offered as a bonus when we hit collective company goals.
Unlimited vacation
IrisCX offers unlimited vacation to give our team the opportunity to rest and recharge without thinking about a 'vacation bank'. We take a minimum of two weeks off per year, and we are empowered to take more than that as long as we make sure to balance it with our workload.
At IrisCX, you're empowered to work wherever you want. We work asynchronous-first, with the goal of reducing company-wide meetings and empowering our team to choose the working hours that serve them best. Some customer-facing jobs may require a specific time zone and working hours.
All full-time IrisCX team members have access to our employer-paid comprehensive benefits plan. We also offer coverage for mobile phones, digital wellness, and remote work setup.

Our company is headquartered in Calgary and our team is spread across Canada’s major cities.
