Job description

Founded in 2007, GIBBON is the world leader in slackline products and innovation. From Super Bowl halftime shows to Cirque du Soleil performances, GIBBON’s products have helped produce some of the best balance athletes in the world. GIBBON North America holds the exclusive license to sell GIBBON products throughout North America, the UK, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand and Korea. Our company has been growing exponentially since launching the GIBBON SlackBoard , the most dynamic and versatile balance training tool on the market.

SlackBoard sales in 2025 more than doubled to $37 million, up from $14 million in 2024. We have sold more than 300,000 SlackBoards since 2023. Inc. Magazine recognized us as one of the fastest growing private companies in America in 2024 and our growth only accelerated last year, so we will likely get that recognition again for 2025. We have barely scratched the surface in our new global markets and we believe there is tremendous opportunity to continue growing in North America and to start selling into these additional markets.

PTMW Current Openings

Founded in 2007, PT Motion Works operates a portfolio of leading consumer brands focused on delivering products and services that enable healthy aging and increased longevity. Our portfolio includes GIBBON North America , which sells leading balance training products throughout North America and eight other countries; ElliptiGO , the category pioneer and leader in stand-up and elliptical cycling; and INDO Board , the category-defining brand for balance boards globally. PT Motion Works products are used by everyone from elite athletes and celebrities to kids and seniors and can be found in gyms, physical therapy clinics, schools, team training rooms and in hundreds of thousands of homes around the world. PT Motion Works is experiencing tremendous growth driven by product innovation, multi-channel expansion, and global market development.

PT Motion Works sales in 2025 more than doubled to $40 million, up from $17 million in 2024, with solid profit both years. We expect to profitably reach $100 million in topline sales this year. Our growth led Inc. Magazine to recognize us as one of the fastest growing private companies in America in 2024 and since our growth accelerated last year, we will likely get that recognition again for 2025. The bottom line is that our best selling product has barely scratched the surface in our new global markets and has tremendous opportunity to continue growing in North America as well.
