Who is Allbirds?

At Allbirds, we're on a mission to prove that comfort, good design and sustainability don't have to be mutually exclusive. We are dedicated to making the most sustainable footwear we can using premium natural materials, designed for the to and fro of everyday life. Our commitment to making better shoes in a better way is fueled by a belief that the shoe industry needs to focus less on flash and more on thoughtfulness. With funding from the leading venture capitalists in consumer products, and the founding CEOs of some of the greatest e-commerce businesses in recent history, our desire to shake up the footwear industry is off to a great start. In fact, TIME already called our first shoe, the Wool Runners, the most comfortable in the world, and there is much more to come.

Where do we need help?
We've sold a million shoes, launched three groundbreaking materials, and changed how people think about comfort, design, and retail. Now we're taking the Allbirds in-store experience across the country and are looking for passionate retail ambassadors to execute on that mission.
