Job description
Who we are
EQL is a place where people can thrive and bring their whole selves to work while solving some really cool challenges. It’s fun, it’s hard, it’s the bravest thing we’ve done, and we are looking for brilliant people to do it with us. We know that we’ll win by building a company of talented, curious people to help us tackle the gnarly hurdles we know are coming. Over the last 12 months we’ve already managed to find some of the best, brightest, and most importantly kindest out there and we want to continue that trend! If you think you might be one of these people, we’d love to have you on board.
We know that when applying for jobs, it is very common for people, particularly women or those from minority groups, to focus on their gaps and weaknesses, rather than their strengths. If you’re passionate about EQL’s mission but you don’t feel totally confident you meet all our selection criteria, we strongly encourage you to apply anyway.
We’re looking for an Accountant who will be responsible for managing day-to-day finance activities that enable our small start-up business to build ecommerce tools of the future.
