Head of Operations

ABOUT GOODR

We exist to give you permission to be unabashedly yourself...unless you’re an a**hole. This is our actual mission statement, and here are some fun facts about our brand that might interest you: 

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.

• REMOTE WORKING: We have a super-liberal remote working policy. For most roles, you are only required to be in the office 2 days per week (after your first 30 days).
• UNLIMITED VACATION: That was not a glitch in the matrix, we offer unlimited vacation.

MASTERY: We encourage growth, grit, and greatness (and alliteration!); and expect you to take pride in your work. 

• GROWTH: We provide continuous personal development because we want you to grow and do your best work. We have a green thumb, but...for people.
• FEEDBACK: We value people who give and receive feedback with grace. ‘Nuff said.

FUN FACT: Every quarter we have a two-day, all-employee summit that ends with a party! We call it goodrSTOCK because it’s as epic as a music festival that has only happened twice in history, but we do it quarterly. 

PURPOSE: We want to leave the world better than we found it in ways that are unique to an individual’s personal journey. But, what does that even mean??? It means:

• PURPOSE PROJECTS: Every team member gets to create their own project for making the world a better place. Some current projects include: finding ways to use recycled plastics, getting goodr to carbon-neutral, and bringing awareness to sexual assault. 
• PAID TO VOLUNTEER: Yes, you get paid to volunteer! Our favorite paradox.  

FUN FACT: One purpose project resulted in a team member’s band doing an instagram live with Sir Elton John!
