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

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.

- 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.
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
Are you a creative mastermind with a sharp eye, a well of patience visionary excited to lead a team of talented eccentrics, and a deep love of tiki bars?

You’ll lead our copywriting, design, and production teams—shaping the work, mentoring the talent, and keeping everything unmistakably goodr. So if you’ve got a sixth sense for brand vibes, a low tolerance for mediocrity, and the ability to inspire and execute, your throne awaits. Now quit daydreaming about tiki bars and start applying!
