Join Us On-Site in Raleigh!

At Relay, we're building something special, and we believe our relationships with each other and our customers are the foundation of our success. Our hybrid work model is designed to foster these connections, giving you the best of both worlds: the power of in-person collaboration and the flexibility you need.

We ask our teams to work from our amazing Raleigh headquarters on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We've found that being together on these core days helps us build authentic, trusting relationships more quickly. This collaborative energy is essential for how we work—not just with each other, but also as long-term partners with our customers.

You'll be encouraged to get out of the office and connect directly with our customers, whether it's at their properties or at a trade show, no matter what your role is. And when you're in the office, you'll be able to enjoy our fantastic, amenity-rich space and the vibrant culture that makes Relay a great place to work.

While we value our time together, we also understand that life happens. We know that sometimes your best work requires you to be elsewhere. That's why we've built flexibility into our model.

You and your manager can work together to find solutions that support your needs. Whether it's a doctor's appointment, a personal commitment, or a project that's best handled remotely, we encourage open communication to ensure you have the flexibility to get your job done and live your life.

For People Managers and New Relayers

We ask our people leaders to be in the office more often to be readily available to support their teams and other groups. This helps foster a strong sense of community and provides valuable mentorship opportunities.

Similarly, we encourage new Relayers to maximize their time in the office early on. Building strong relationships from the start is key to your success and helps you quickly feel like a part of the Relay family.
