Adventure inspires us to see the world and make it better. Cotopaxi is made up of passionate visionaries, creative builders, and big-hearted humans, all working together to inspire adventure, fight poverty, and move people to Do Good.
We create responsibly made outdoor gear that brings performance, color, and joy to all, and helps us build a movement to support communities around the world. From retail guides to product designers to our foundation, we always put people first. Our work environment reflects how much we value people, innovation, and adventure, whether you’re working from our Salt Lake headquarters, one of our stores or Distribution Center, your couch, or a van in the woods.
At Cotopaxi, we seek individuals who are eager to dive in, adapt to change, and embrace challenges with enthusiasm. We value team members who are passionate about our mission and thrive in a dynamic environment. As our brand continues to evolve, you’ll have the opportunity to grow and evolve alongside it.
