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 POSITION: We can't do this without you… here. You'll spend 5 days per week in our cozy indoor jungle office that we call "The Lagoon".

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are launching a new annual planning initiative to drive our brand goals across the company over the next 5 years and we need an absolute execution powerhouse to help us pull it off. This isn't a role for a passive note-taker; we need a tactical, process-building Project Manager for approximately 3–4 months who can drop in ASAP and keep our momentum moving at hyper-speed.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to serve as the ultimate accountability partner for the Office of the CEO. You will own the follow-through for all related initiatives across all channels, transforming high-level revenue maps into iron-clad execution milestones, and aligning our service teams (Operations, Creative, and People) on resource needs. If you love building frameworks from scratch, chasing down deadlines, and keeping cross-functional teams beautifully aligned without breaking a sweat, we want you on the team yesterday.

**Note: This is a Full-Time TEMPORARY position from July 2026 through October 2026. You are expected in person in the office 5 days a week.

• Ensure strict cross-functional accountability across the annual planning initiative by holding teams to tight deadlines, preventing initiative drop-off after initial deliverables are met
  
• Run efficient, tactical check-ins and working sessions to unblock cross-functional dependencies and keep the annual planning cycle moving at a rapid pace
  
• Align service teams, including Operations, Creative, and People, on critical resource needs, such as headcount, systems, and inventory, to support the broader annual execution plans
  
• Maintain regular, tight communication loops for the initiative, including daily check-ins with the Chief of Staff and clear status updates to stakeholders
  
• Manage day-to-day annual planning project logistics, including tracking action items and actively resolving cross-functional bottlenecks
  
• This role is in the Office of the CEO and will report directly to the Chief of Staff
  
• Perform other related duties as assigned
