Job description

Our Mission

Everyone remembers the feeling of opening something they didn't expect to love at first but ended up wearing everyday. At IcyBox, we're building on that feeling and turning the thrill of the unknown into a business that scales. What started as a fast-moving watch commerce and mystery box company is becoming something bigger: a durable consumer brand that people trust, return to, and talk about. We move quickly, we sweat the details, and we're not afraid to build the plane while flying it. If you want to be close to the center of a company still writing its own playbook, this is that kind of place.

Our Values

• Move Fast, Build Right: Speed matters, but so does the thing you're building. We'd rather ship today and fix tomorrow than sit on something perfect and late.

• Own the Gap: When nobody owns it, that's exactly where we lean in. Ambiguity isn't an excuse to wait, it's an invitation to lead.

• Clarity Is a Gift: Messy information helps no one. We turn noise into options, options into decisions, and decisions into action.

• Trust Over Title: Influence here comes from follow-through, not org-chart position. The best ideas win regardless of who's in the room.

• Say the Real Thing: Hard conversations happen early and directly, because that's what actually moves things forward.

• Do the Unglamorous Work: From a spreadsheet to a vendor call to a hiring process to a board memo, no task is beneath getting the company where it needs to go.
