  • Finance & accounting
  • Shop operations


What We’re Looking For

  • 0–3 years of work experience: recent grads encouraged to apply
  • A track record of figuring things out: built something, ran something, fixed something, started something. School, work, or on your own - we don't care which
  • Strong written communication and the ability to think clearly on the phone
  • Comfortable with numbers and spreadsheets - you don't need a finance degree, but you should be able to look at a P&L without flinching
  • Self-starter who would rather own a problem than be assigned a task
  • Hungry to learn the operational reality of a real business - not a corporate training program with PowerPoints
  • Tech-savvy

  • Direct access to the founder/owner
  • Exposure across functions
  • Clear progression - After 12-18 months, you can lead a function or a location
