Pay and benefits:
This is a full-time gig based out of our office in downtown Salt Lake City, UT. We’ll plan on working at least 4 days in the office, and we’ll be experimenting with half-day Fridays between Memorial Day and Labor Day (to get a head start on amazing Utah weekends).
Depending on years of experience and complexity/scope of responsibilities, the salary for this position is $55,000 – $70,000, with a 5–10% bonus paid quarterly. All employees are part of our bonus program.
The position includes 20 days of paid time off, plus 11 additional days for local national holidays and 5 paid volunteer days. Each quarter we give you a day to go to your happy place just to think—a personal offsite of sorts. You’re also free to take additional time off here and there as needed for any reasonable reason, like if you or your child/pet are sick, you need to run an errand, or whatever. Some folks start the day sooner or finish it out later–that’s totally up to you. What matters to us is that you’re accountable and communicative; we’re not fans of tracking hours.
We offer competitive medical (70%), vision (100%) and dental (70%) insurance through United Healthcare as well as life insurance and short/long-term disability insurance. After 3 months of employment, you’ll be eligible for our 401(k) benefit, which the company matches up to 4% of your salary.
We’ll set you up with great equipment (laptop, stand, monitor, keyboard) to do your best work, and we’re thinking a lot about other perks and cultural traditions that make sense.
About the company:
This is an incredible time to be one of the first 20 employees at Helpful! We’re young enough that your ideas and voice will carry extra weight and have real impact.
We’re building a family of digital media brands with the mission of creating confident consumers. Our modern approach meets consumers where they are with timely resources, dynamic tools, and meaningful community connections. We believe when someone receives help they are more compelled to lend help; everything we build supports that belief.
Our values:
???? Build on trust – When we start from a place of trust—genuinely aiming to do right by each other—we enable the type of work environment we all want to take part in, and everything we do is better as a result.
???? Expand your mind – We can’t rely on groupthink or lazy data to drive innovation; our meaningful breakthroughs will come from diversity of thought and intellectually honest debate.
???? Design deliberately – We’re methodic in our design approach so we can shape the future we want, but we balance that with gaining early validation and moving quickly when it matters.
???? Look for links – A short-term approach to solving problems will ultimately create more of them; our primary differentiation is our ability to connect the dots and build solutions that scale.
???? Focus on effect – We combine our humanity and sensibility to make smart bets and direct our passion toward productive outcomes; apathy and outrage tend to cause more harm than good.
