OUTER'S MISSION 

Outer is a venture-backed startup based in Santa Monica, California on a mission to get people outside and inspire healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives by creating innovative outdoor furniture.

Outer is hiring a Product Manager to join our Product Team and lead the growth of our next-gen retail concept – Neighborhood Showroom. The Neighborhood Showroom platform turns our customers' backyards into showrooms where shoppers can see, touch, and feel our products in the backyards of real Outer customers (think: Airbnb meets retail). This is a truly unique opportunity to lead the development and growth of a product that has the opportunity to significantly impact the retail landscape.
