A bit about us...
At STXND, we lead the portable workspace category premium tools engineered for people who take their work seriously. How you work is who you are. Our mission is to equip people to do work that grows them.
We noticed it everywhere. People doing serious work hunched over laptops in cafes, on flights, in hotel lobbies...treating their setup like an afterthought. The tools existed, but not in a way people actually wanted to use. So we built STXND. No more compromising your setup because you left the office. No more choosing between portability and performance. No more tools that don't take your craft as seriously as you do.
What we care about...
Autonomy: Only the best work at STXND. We're confident, independent leaders. We find opportunities before we're asked to find them. When our actions impact other parts of the organization, we communicate with those leaders to ensure connectivity.
Growth: We love new challenges. I've never done this before is not an excuse it's an opportunity.
Community: We care deeply about each other. Good humans. Genuine support. Not just professionally, but personally.
Compensation & Perks:
- Competitive executive compensation package
- 100% remote-first
- This is a rare opportunity to join a brand at the exact moment it starts to scale. We've built real traction, a loyal customer base, and a product people genuinely love. Now we're building the infrastructure to go much further, and this role sits at the center of that.
