Quality Control Associate

ABOUT GOODR

We create and sell active eyewear 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.

• ONSITE: We can’t do this without you… here. You’ll spend 5 days per week (Monday - Friday) in our cozy Inglewood office that we call “The Cove.”
• PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT: We have an all-company learning program so that we’re constantly leveling up our skills.

SUSTAINABILITY: We think Earth’s pretty rad. That’s why we take action wherever possible to limit our impact on the planet.

• 1% FOR THE PLANET MEMBER: 1% of goodr’s annual sales go directly to environmental organizations.
• CARBON NEUTRAL: In 2019, goodr became a 100% carbon neutral company.

Fun Fact: goodr celebrates every Earth Day by releasing limited-edition sunglasses with frames made from 100% recycled materials—and the packaging is 100% sustainable, too!

ABOUT THE ROLE

Do you love spreading children's joy to people all over the world in the form of sunglasses?! Do you like connecting with humans? Are you ridiculously detailed?  Do you actually read the small print before signing? Do you send back your food when it’s not right? Does it make your skin crawl when someone gets “your” and “you’re” mixed up? 

If any of this resonates, then the Quality Control Associate is the job for you!  At goodr we specialize in having fun and slinging sunnies. Maintaining the highest level of quality for our customers is our top priority. As our talented inspector of sunglasses, you’ll be our very own Sherlock Holmes of shades, spotting the slightest imperfections with a keen eye sharper than any magnifying glass. With your expert eye, you would not just be checking for quality; you would be curating the ultimate accessory for sun-soaked adventures!
