Our Culture
Making our ambitious vision a reality will not be easy. So we don’t hide the truth…it’s not easy to work here. We’re bringing together a special team obsessed with their work and cultivating a culture characterized by many things, including but not limited to:
- Uncommon hard work and commitment;-Unusual levels of autonomy and a builders mindset: solving > complaining;- Obsession over our audiences;- Refusal to compromise on standards for quality;- Relentless accountability & ownership;- Radical transparency + direct communication & feedback;- Low ego and pursuit of truth (and goals), not looking good.
Our company culture will evolve over time, but many of these ideas are fundamental to what we do and who we are and, therefore, will not change. Every day, we strive to live as closely to these values as we can, and of course, it doesn’t always happen.
We’re early in the journey, paddling out to catch the big wave. So it’s an exciting time balanced by the reality that creating something special is uncommon and requires uncommon commitment. For those with similar ideals — come be uncommon with us!
The Opportunity 
We're early and brand partnerships is the most important focus at the company. If you're not comfortable with ambiguity, hunting down opportunities and building from scratch in a competitive environment, this won't be the right role for you. If you're looking to inherit a book of business and be more of an Account Manager, this won't be the right role for you.
Your Mission: grow revenue by making the marketplace aware of Low Battery and building strong relationships with brand partners.
