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.

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 the Inglewood 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

Attention athletic enthusiasts! We’re on the hunt for an Endurance Sports Marketing Manager to help manage our brand initiatives in running, cycling, trail, track, ultra marathons, triathlons, and beyond. Although your main focus will be managing our run community and growth initiatives, we’re also looking for someone who’s obsessed with the entire endurance space. You love building authentic relationships? Sick! You get pumped anytime you develop new (and maintain existing) partnerships with athletes, events, and communities? Look no further!

This position is the golden connection between goodr and the endurance community both locally in the SoCal region and throughout the rest of the world. So if you live for logging miles, shaving minutes off your personal best, proudly rocking spandex, and believe that every finish line deserves a frosty cold one, this might just be your dream job. On your mark. Get set. Apply!
