We’re looking for a self-starter; someone who be both strategic and tactical. This person should be a natural-born problem solver who uses critical thinking skills to quickly identify any issues and fix them immediately.
The ideal candidate would have 2 – 5 years experience as a number cruncher. They would have a proven track record of helping small businesses scale through massive growth.
We’re also looking for someone that is passionate about our mission You can find out more about that here; but we’re an intersectional feminist brand with a bold message. We believe in disrupting current patriarchal standards of beauty. We believe that self-care is a radically feminist act. And we believe that the products we use to pamper us (bc pampering is OH SO IMPORTANT) should be clean and healthy to use. If any of that seems weird to you, you’re probably not a fit for us.
