About the Role

At goodr, a Most Loved Workplace® certified employer in the Retail space, Permission to be unabashedly yourself—Active eyewear for Anyone..

<p><strong>ABOUT goodr</strong></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 300;">We create and sell active eyewear for anyone. No Slip. No Bounce. All Polarized. All Fun. Interested in joining our team? Keep reading.</span></p>

<p><strong>OUR VALUES:</strong><span style="font-weight: 300;"> We have two core values: Fun & Authenticity.</span></p>

<ul>

<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 300;">FUN = Being sh*tty isn’t fun. Agreed? Taking pride in your work, finding joy in being GREAT, and celebrating wins… and losses. Now, </span><em><span style="font-weight: 300;">that’s </span></em><span style="font-weight: 300;">fun!</span></li>

<li style="font-weight: 300;"><span style="font-weight: 300;">AUTHENTICITY = Focusing on being authentic over being liked. (Next-level guru stuff. Count it.)</span></li>

</ul>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong>Fun Fact:</strong><span style="font-weight: 300;"> We do not allow email to be sent internally. Carrier pigeons only. JK, we use Slack.</span></p>

<p><strong>LEADERSHIP:</strong><span style="font-weight: 300;"> 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.</span></p>

<p><strong>AUTONOMY:</strong><span style="font-weight: 300;"> We practice autonomy, empowerment, and accountability so that every team member can be in control of their own life.</span></p>

<ul>

<li style="font-weight: 300;"><span style="font-weight: 300;">HYBRID WORKING:</span> This role is required to be in our Inglewood office every Tuesday and Thursday with the occasional third day thrown in.</li>

<li style="font-weight: 300;">PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: We have an all-company learning program so that we’re constantly leveling up our skills.</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>SUSTAINABILITY:</strong><span style="font-weight: 300;"> We think Earth’s pretty rad. That’s why we take action wherever possible to limit our impact on the planet.</span></p>

<ul>

<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 300;">1% FOR THE PLANET MEMBER: 1% of goodr’s annual sales go directly to environmental organizations.</span></li>

<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 300;">CARBON NEUTRAL: In 2019, goodr became a <a href="https://goodr.com/blogs/goodrtimes/100-carbon-neutral#:~:text=In%202019%2C%20through%20the%20purchase,a%20100%25%20carbon%20neutral%20company!" target="_blank">100% carbon neutral company</a>.</span></li>

</ul>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong>Fun Fact:</strong><span style="font-weight: 300;"> goodr celebrates every Earth Day by releasing limited-edition sunglasses with frames made from 100% recycled materials—and the packaging is 100% sustainable, too!</span></p>

<p><br><strong>ABOUT THE ROLE</strong></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Do you get excited about turning something people love locally into a sensation people can’t stop talking about across the world!? As our Director of International Sales & Marketing, you’ll be the fearless leader taking goodr from local legend to international phenomenon. You’ll navigate time zones, languages, and customs laws with the skill of someone who once smuggled a giant inflatable flamingo through airport security (don’t ask).</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 300;">This role is equal parts strategy, relationship-building, and “Wait, which country am I on a call with right now?” You’ll lead our international expansion by keeping our brand consistent while also finding ways to let foreign flavors shine. So if you can juggle a dozen worldwide markets without breaking a sweat, we welcome you aboard!<br><br></span></p>
