Kindred Bravely is looking for a talented and enthusiastic part-time Human Resources Manager to join our team and help us make HER day.
Kindred Bravely is an online retailer for pregnant and breastfeeding moms who want something comfortable to wear. We are a growing team of 60 based all over the world. Our team culture is grateful, brave, generous & encouraging. We all work together to create the best possible shopping experience and products for her. Oh, and did we mention we’re on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing privately held companies for two years in a row plus winner of Shopify’s Build a BIGGER Business Competition!
What We Believe:
- She is the reason we exist: We have created a genuine connection with her. She feels seen and heard. She is an integral part of every decision we make. We are her.
- Work/Life Balance is an imperative: We value both work and family and bring our best selves to each by ensuring balance.
- Success is Sequential; Not Simultaneous: We focus on one thing at a time.
How We Act:
- Team Work Makes the Dream Work: We share ideas, feedback, struggles, wins and frustrations. We care for each other professionally and personally.
- We have a Bias for Action: We move quickly. We take smart risks. We solve puzzles. We make things happen.
- We Hold Ourselves Accountable: We all own the business. We clearly communicate key metrics and standards and review them regularly. We analyze results to understand why we made a decision. We are disciplined.
- We Lead, Not Follow: We are innovative. We are curious and resourceful. We are driven and competitive (but not with each other).
- We Communicate Genuinely and Transparently: With each other and with her. We are present.
- We are Always Learning: We improve ourselves and continually look for ways to enhance the skills and abilities of our entire team.
- We are in Relentless Pursuit of Customer Service Excellence: We out-care the competition and provide the greatest experience she has ever had with a brand.
