    THE DEETS

    This is a full-time position with benefits. We’re looking for someone who’s interested in sticking around to grow with us, not just someone looking for a “side gig” to keep them afloat as they pursue their real passion. There will be plenty of opportunities for advancement here!

    The role is also 100% virtual, but you need to be available to work during “normal business hours” (approximately 9am to 6pm Pacific time, give or take two hours) regardless of the time zone you live in. Some weekend and night work will be required during events and launch activities. And, having a reliable up-to-date computer is a must!

    WHAT TO EXPECT AS A TEAMMATE OF LIVE YOUR MESSAGE

    • You’ll never be penalized for taking initiative to solve a problem or to fix a systems issue that you identify.

    • You’ll be part of a hard-working and amazing team who are dedicated to making a difference in this world through the people we serve and truly enjoy what they do… and have fun along the way too!

    • You’ll be supported with practical information and systems that set you up for success.

    • Opportunities to learn and grow; personally and professionally with training courses, mentorship, fun retreats and working team vacations

    • A fun, gamified context for completing your goals, making suggestions and working together as a team

    • Great opportunities for advancement

     

    If this position is calling out to you, we want to hear from you!
