Job Description

ABOUT GOODR

We create and sell $25 active sunglasses for anyone. No slip, no bounce, all polarized, all fun. Interested in joining our team? Keep reading.

OUR VALUES: We have two core values: Fun & Authenticity.

  • FUN = Being sh*tty isn't fun. Agreed? Taking pride in your work, finding joy in being GREAT, and celebrating wins… and losses. Now, that's fun!
  • AUTHENTICITY = Focusing on being authentic over being liked. (Next-level guru stuff. Count it.)

Fun Fact: We do not allow email to be sent internally. Carrier pigeons only. JK, we use Slack.

LEADERSHIP: We expect our leaders to be guiding lights for their teams. To support that, we provide leadership courses to sharpen their leadership abilities, including an in-house leadership coach.

AUTONOMY: We practice autonomy, empowerment, and accountability so that every team member can be in control of their own life.

  • HYBRID WORKING: Most roles are only required to be in office every Tuesday and Thursday with the occasional third day thrown in.
  • PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: We have an all-company learning program so that we're constantly leveling up our skills.

SUSTAINABILITY: We think Earth's pretty rad. That's why we take action wherever possible to limit our impact on the planet.

  • 1% FOR THE PLANET MEMBER: 1% of goodr's annual sales go directly to environmental organizations.
  • CARBON NEUTRAL: In 2019, goodr became a 100% carbon neutral company.

Fun Fact: Each year we create limited-edition sunglasses made from 100% recycled materials called "These Shades are Trash." Check out a pair and join the movement!


ABOUT THE ROLE

Is "agility" one of your core values because you know that the algorithm is definitely going to change tomorrow? Do you love cultivating community and connection? Are you always looking for the latest trends and platforms? Perhaps you were sending your friends hilarious TikTok videos only for them to send you an IG Reel of the same video one year later? Do you love curating the perfect story or reel because you know that content is QUEEN and you LOVE to stand out? Do you also enjoy leading teams of like minded people so that you can break through in a very cluttered space?!

If you double tapped both, you might be the Director of Social Media of our flamingo dreams!! The ultimate Social Media influencer who loves leading, analyzing trends and data, budgets, timelines, marketing, and of course, SOCIAL MEDIA!
