A bit about us...
At Grüns, we believe that foundational nutrition should be simple and convenient for everyone. We're dedicated to bringing comprehensive and real nutrition to you through our gummies, formulated from 60 nutrient-dense and whole-food ingredients. Simply enjoy a grab-and-go snack pack of gummies daily whenever fits best in your schedule and wherever life takes you.
Like you, we were disappointed. There's an infinite number of "nutrition" companies, all focused on what's best for them — not what's best for you. Hundreds of products to sell you on, low-quality ingredients, and small nutrient doses. We've seen it all.
So we decided it was time to fix it. No more choking on and popping pills like a pharmacy. No more clean-up and disgust from gross powders. And no more cobbling together handfuls to dozens of supplements. Grüns is comprehensive nutrition, made convenient and delicious.
Our culture:
- Autonomy: Only the best work at Grüns. We're all confident, independent leaders. We are proactive. We find opportunities for improvement. Don't ask; just do. When our actions impact other areas of the organization, we communicate with those functional leaders to ensure connectivity.
- Growth: We love to take on new challenges, learn new things, and express interest in new functions. "I've never done this before" is not an excuse; it's an opportunity.
- Community: We care deeply about each other. We're good humans and provide support wherever we can. We care, not just professionally but personally as well.
Compensation & Perks!
For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation -- and equity, as our growth should lead to your growth.
We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - but also come together on a quarterly basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.
Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family. We have unlimited PTO. And everyone who joins gets a free Grüns subscription, a $150/month wellness bonus, and an Oura ring and membership to track their health.
