Job Description
Intro
We offer flexible working, part-time in our lovely London office (featuring all the essentials - fancy drinks fridge, striped walls and furry friends in abundance) alongside remote working from home, depending on business requirements. We’re also a certified Great Place to Work and a certified London Living Wage employer.
Don’t know Dock & Bay? You’re missing out, because we’re great (and humble). Here’s a quick intro:
Our founders, Andy (Head Poncho) and Ben (Towel Wizard of Oz), started Dock & Bay back in 2015, after sharing the same struggle of standard towels being too bulky for their backpacks while travelling. It’s a hard knock life, eh?
Following some intense brainstorming - that means pulling down a big red curtain and sticking pieces of white paper to it to create our now iconic stripes - D&B’s quick dry, 100% recycled wonders were born.
Fast forward 8 years and Dock & Bay have become a certified B Corp, with over 100 products in 8 categories, selling in the UK, Australia, the US, Canada and Europe. Our mission is to make the world brighter, and we need your help (if you fit the job description, obviously).
We are on the list of Great Places to work in the Retail, Hospitality & Leisure sector, so you KNOW we’re going to look after you.
