Job Description

WHO WE ARE

Yellow Leaf is a home and outdoor lifestyle brand, centered around relaxation and driven by positive impact.

Through global sales of ridiculously comfy hammocks, the mission of Yellow Leaf is to spread blissful relaxation worldwide and empower artisans at the base of the pyramid to permanently rise above poverty.

We are a “Best for the World” B Corporation, one of Oprah’s “Favorite Things,” Kiva’s first microfinance partner in Thailand and the Official Hammocks of the new Virgin Voyages cruise line.

We bootstrapped our social enterprise for several years until appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank in 2020, where we accepted an investment from KIND Snacks founder Daniel Lubetzky. Since then, we've pivoted to DTC, scaled our impact to employ over 400 artisan weavers, and begun introducing innovative new relaxation solutions.

This is an exciting time for us – we are scaling the Yellow Leaf brand (and our positive impact) and have several new developments in the pipeline! The Brand Content Creator is a new role within Yellow Leaf and we're looking for an ambitious candidate who is excited to join a high-growth brand and social enterprise.

Yellow Leaf is a start-up environment, so you will get to wear many hats and participate actively in forging the brand, company culture and legacy. While this role initially calls for a multi-talented specialist with a deep focus on customer connection, you will have the opportunity to build your own leadership path as we grow.
