WHERE YOU'LL WORK

Rise Up Selects values in-person collaboration and the team cohesion that comes with it. We are an office-first company, based in Salt Lake City, where real-time communication and spontaneous idea sharing keep a fast-moving business moving.

For exceptional candidates we will consider remote arrangements, but this is the exception rather than the norm and requires strong self-direction and excellent communication.

Travel is required for festivals and major events, and availability during evenings and weekends is expected around announce dates, on-sales, and event weeks.

A note on our calendar: Time off is not available during the two weeks immediately preceding and the one week immediately following any Rise Up Selects festival or major event. We mention this upfront because it matters, our year concentrates the most demanding stretches around a handful of dates, and we want candidates to understand that rhythm before joining.

This is a full-time position.
