OUR STORY
From an idea in one mans garage to an essential in every mans shower, Every Man Jack was created to give men everywhere clean, effective personal care that stands up to any adventure.Born in 2007 at the base of Mt. Tam, near the great redwood forests of Northern California, Every Man Jack was founded to fill a gap in the mens care space. To remove the bravado and harsh chemicals that choked the industry, and focus instead on simple, clean products accessible to regular guys.That belief is right in our name: the phrase "Every Man Jack" traces its origins back several centuries, when it meant "everybody without exception."Today it still means quality within reach. It stands for the man who fixes whats broken, who builds, and who welcomes the unknown. Were for the man whose routine belongs on the trail, in the surf, and under open skies. Hes ready for the next story worth remembering.WHAT WE DO Every Man Jack, a B Corp Certified Company, is a leader in the natural mens grooming space, with a presence across major national retailers like Target, Walmart, Whole Foods, and Amazon.Weve experienced significant growth over the past several years and continue to add top talent to our growing roster.Considering a host of recent initiatives, significant retail distribution opportunities, and high growth e-commerce initiatives, there is no shortage of exciting projects for the Every Man Jack team.THE ROLE: BRAND STRATEGIST
