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.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Some people fantasize about possessing an Olympic gold medal or the ability to time travel or maybe hiring a personal bartender to mix all of their favorite cocktails 24/7. But you? You get a rush from the sweet satisfaction of paying bills on time. We’re talking about someone who genuinely (and maybe a little wildly) loves making sure every vendor invoice is processed, correctly coded, and paid exactly according to those magical payment terms. If reconciling ledgers makes your heart skip a beat, it’s time to apply for our Accounts Payable Specialist role!!

  • Schedule and process weekly vendor payments via ACH, checks, or other electronic methods, ensuring timeliness and accuracy
  • Research, resolve, and document AP discrepancies while maintaining strong relationships with vendors and internal stakeholders

  • Identify opportunities to automate or streamline AP processes and support system enhancements or implementations
  • Adapt quickly to shifting priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail
  • No direct reports – you get to lead the AP charge, without managing your fellow flamingos
  • This role is in the Finance team and will report directly to the Director of Finance
  • Perform other related duties as assigned

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
