Strategic Product Manager

ABOUT GOODR

We create and sell $25 active sunglasses 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 office every Tuesday and Thursday with the occasional third day thrown in.

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: Team members have the opportunity to create their own project for making the world a better place.

Fun Fact: One purpose project resulted in a team member raising over 1 million dollars to build a track for a Los Angeles school!
