Why beehiiv?

Bias towards action

Our first impulse is to act. We don’t get bogged down in unnecessary processes or bullsh**t. Perfection is the enemy of progress.

Ownership mentality

This company is ours. We go the extra mile because that’s what owners do. Every day, people step up to take on tasks outside of their responsibilities and do whatever it takes for us to succeed.

Building is in our DNA

We are obsessed with improving every aspect of our platform (and ourselves). Whether it’s our product, support, or partnerships, we never stop working to improve it.

We answer to our users

Nothing matters more than serving our users. If our users fail, we fail.

Ego comes second, but winning comes first

We put our egos aside to work collaboratively and build something special. It doesn’t matter who’s idea or who’s vision, we’re here to create the best outcome. We’re here to win.

We’ll take care of you:

• Competitive salary
• Stock Options
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 401(k) employer match
• Unlimited PTO (mandatory 10 days per year minimum)
• Annual in-person team retreat
• Unlimited book budget
• Two deep-focus days without meetings
• Wellness day each month (every third Friday)
