Key Accounts Sales Director
ABOUT GOODR
We create and sell active eyewear 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: goodr celebrates every Earth Day by releasing limited-edition sunglasses with frames made from 100% recycled materials—and the packaging is 100% sustainable, too!
