Skratch Labs is an outdoor company on the cutting edge of athlete nutrition, founded by two pro cycling veterans who started mixing performance drink mixes with simple ingredients for the pros in hardware store buckets over 8 years ago. Since then, we’ve built an amazing following of impassioned athletes and we’re growing fast, but we always need help getting the word out! We believe food and drink are just better when made from scratch and we also believe that no matter where we find ourselves in life, it’s never too late to start from scratch. We use our heads and our hearts in everything we do. Our goal is to help athletes perform better. Our brand and our team stand for being real, being supportive, and being fun. If you’re inspired by athletes and our story, and you think you’d thrive in a start-up environment full of dogs, bicycle posters, shenanigans, hard work, and the occasional lunchtime knock-out (basketball) game, this could be the place for you.

About You: I am an honest, real individual who has an innate sense of how to motivate and influence team members to create a productive and optimistic work environment. I know I can trust others to get their job done but I’m not afraid to hold myself, and others, accountable.

I want nothing more than to join an emerging brand with an amazing small company culture in the shadows of the Flatirons and lead a team that will serve the rest of the company in hitting their goals.
