Overview

Why join Campfire Labs?

At Campfire Labs we’re passionate about telling stories that inspire. But we’re motivated by a larger social mission as well.

As a mission-driven company, we put people before profits. That means paying generous salaries, closing the office over the holidays, giving employees flexibility to take care of their family, and much more. We’ve also pledged 50% of our profits and equity to non-profit projects that fight climate change.

Here are a few other reasons our team members love working here:

  • Growth opportunities: We believe in promoting from within, which means the sky’s the limit in this role. As a staff writer, you’ll be encouraged to learn about our clients and contribute cross-functionally. If you spot opportunities to expand your role, we want to hear about them.

  • Flexibility: We’re a team that believes family and life come before work. If you can hit your goals, we don’t care when you show up to work or if you need to take an afternoon off to take care of your kid. We measure results, not hours worked.

  • An inclusive culture that values diversity: We’re committed to building a diverse team where people feel welcome no matter their gender, race, sexuality or religious beliefs.

  • We work with the best of the best: Our customers are some of the fastest-growing companies in the world. And our small customer community is full of some of the smartest marketers in the industry.

  • This ain’t our first rodeo: Oftentimes, working for a startup means growing pains and immature first-time managers. We’re a team of experienced, professional people who believe in treating each other well.

  • Autonomy: We believe in setting ambitious goals and then trusting our team to achieve them. That means no micro-management or pointless meetings. Our goal is to create an atmosphere where people can thrive and do their best work.
