HQ Function

Serves as the principal executive office for legal, financial, and corporate governance purposes. Day-to-day operations are largely decentralized due to the remote-first model.

Notable Features:

As a remote-first company, the physical 'headquarters' is more of a corporate registered address than a traditional bustling central office. The company's infrastructure is primarily digital, supporting its distributed workforce.

Work Culture:

Upwork champions a remote-first work culture, emphasizing flexibility, autonomy, trust, and results-driven performance. Collaboration tools, asynchronous communication, and virtual team-building are central to their employee experience.

HQ Significance:

The designated HQ signifies the corporate anchor for a company that is at the forefront of the remote work movement, embodying its own principles in its operational structure.

Values Reflected in HQ: The remote-first approach, with a minimal physical HQ footprint, strongly reflects Upwork's values of flexibility, efficiency, global reach, and embracing the future of work.

Location:

Upwork operates as a global platform, connecting clients and freelancers in over 180 countries. While its corporate team is primarily remote and distributed across many countries, its core service—the work marketplace—is inherently global. Functions supported globally through its platform and distributed teams include talent sourcing, project management, payment processing, customer support, platform development, marketing, and sales.
