Culturally, think of us as an intense, meritocratic, and exciting high-growth startup that has survived and thrived through its first decade of rapid evolution and is now thinking about how to scale up and conquer the next decade’s challenges and opportunities. We’ve accomplished a lot in our first 16+ years, but fundamentally know that we’re just at the beginning of our journey, and that’s where you come in! We need the smartest, highest energy people with real integrity who are looking to join an ambitious, hard-working team.
Force Factor is based in Boston’s innovative Seaport District. Our team is filled with passionate, dedicated, and inspiring people operating with an ownership mindset (which is easy because we are entirely privately held and plan to stay that way). If you love a challenge, enjoy acting with urgency, and prefer to opt into a high-performance culture, when you join us, you’ll feel like you’ve finally come home. Our private ownership structure is designed for the long term to enable huge opportunities for key team members to learn a ton, work with other A players and generate significant wealth, and we hope you’ll choose to help us build an enduring and successful business for decades to come. There are two reasons we’re included on Bain’s Insurgent Brands list of high-achieving CPG brands outperforming market growth: our people and our culture.
