Job Description
Company Overview
Force Factor Brands is on a mission to disrupt the global health and wellness industry by creating incredible vitamins and supplements that help people Unleash their Potential. Our innovative products are scientifically formulated to help create healthier, happier, and more enjoyable lives for our consumers all over the world. We are one of the most genuinely innovative companies in the global dietary supplements industry and only plan on accelerating in the future.
Force Factor's award-winning products are sold in thousands of retail and eCommerce stores nationwide, including Walmart, The Vitamin Shoppe, Sam's Club, Walgreens, CVS, iHerb, Amazon and Costco. Currently, more than 25,000 people buy our products every single day, and that number is growing every month. You will have a real opportunity to make an impact on people's lives by working at Force Factor to create new solutions for empowering personal health and wellbeing.
Culturally, think of us as an intense, meritocratic, and exciting high-growth startup that has survived and thrived through its first decade and a half of rapid evolution and is now thinking about how to scale up and conquer the next decade's worth of challenges and opportunities. We've sold more than a billion dollars worth of products to consumers over the last 15+ years, but fundamentally we know we're just at the beginning of our journey, and that's where you come in! We need the smartest, highest-energy people with integrity who are looking to join an ambitious and hard-working team. We do not need social loafers, those looking for shortcuts, people lacking grit, or people unwilling to pay the price for success! If you join Force Factor, you will work hard, learn a tremendous amount, and be surrounded by incredible teammates.
Force Factor is based in Boston's innovative Seaport District, in historic Fort Point. Our team is filled with passionate, dedicated, and inspiring people operating with an ownership mindset (which is easy because we are entirely privately held by our team and plan to stay that way over the long-term). 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 growth, learning, leadership, and wealth creation, and we hope you'll choose to help us build an enduring and successful business for decades to come.
The Co-Op
As a Finance and Accounting Co-Op, you will gain valuable hands-on experience by supporting our team in managing daily financial and accounting operations. Your analytical skills, time management abilities, and attention to detail will be critical in ensuring accurate financial reporting and contributing to the financial health of our organization.
Individuals selected for our Co-Op Program will actively contribute to our company's growth while benefiting from hands-on experience, mentorship, and professional development. Our Co-Op program is based five days a week in the Seaport District of Boston from January to June. Throughout the spring, co-ops will work on impactful projects that directly influence our brand's progress.
