Sales and Marketing Manager

Well hello there, we’re Pretty Alright Goods, a stationery and gift brand that makes goods and gifts for the above average. We pride ourselves on clever copy, good design, and not taking ourselves too seriously. We love what we do and have a lot of fun while we do it. Our goods are currently found in 500+ retailers across the US. This number keeps growing and we are ready to add some stellar new people to our above average team.

This person is flexible and prepared to adapt to the ever changing needs of small businesses and is comfortable connecting the dots between their daily tasks and the larger PAG brand strategy. They also like creating dance party playlists, giving belly rubs to the office dog, and debating Trader Joe’s best snack foods.
