We are looking for a passionate and welcoming Facilities & Office Manager to join our team. As a critical member of our Operations team, your primary responsibility will be to oversee and optimize our physical infrastructure, ensuring that our facilities support our company's rapid growth and innovative nature. We're looking for someone with experience in facility management, equipment maintenance, and safety compliance who is excited about the risks and rewards of joining a Series B-funded startup.

About Us

unspun’s mission is to reduce global carbon emissions by 1% by revolutionizing the way we make clothes. We envision a world where every garment is made on-demand, eliminating overproduction and reconnecting people with the clothing they wear. We first launched our custom denim line to perfect our custom-fit algorithm and prove that our on-demand vision works. Next, we developed a 3D weaving technology, Vega™, that weaves yarns into garments in minutes, allowing for (almost) zero-waste, on-demand manufacturing.

Included in Time's Best Inventions & Fast Company's World Changing Ideas, unspun aims to rapidly transition the trillion-dollar apparel world into one that is more intentional, inclusive, and efficient by focusing on the overlap between sustainability and profitability.
