Allbirds

If job descriptions were written like dating profiles: –We are looking for: a Distributor Account Coordinator to support our Asia Pacific partner market.  – Together, we could: ensure consistent and premium brand presentation, merchandising and marketing with our partners in the region. – Green flags we look for: strategic thinking, attention to detail and experience working cross-functionally. – You’ll “match our geek” if you value: sustainability, innovation and work-life balance. – All we ask is that you: apply. Think we could be a perfect match? We’d say swipe right, but actually, just submit an application here.

The not-so-secret ingredient in our signature Tree material? TENCEL™ Lyocell. These soft and smooth fibers are carefully sourced from controlled or certified wood sources – including spruce, pine, birch, beech, and eucalyptus – meeting FSC® or PEFC standards, meaning the wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates. Which means we can keep on huggin' trees. So when you want to feel the earth beneath your feet, these fibers should do the trick.

ALL CONTENTS OF THIS POST ARE PERFECTLY LEGAL. And you can be assured of that because it’s in celebration of Christos Yatrakis, our Chief People and Legal Officer, who reviewed this thoroughly. Based on his very literal title, you’ve probably guessed that he oversees both our people and legal teams. That includes functions like talent acquisition, workplace, and general counsel… so it won’t come as a surprise that Christos has earned a reputation for being a prolific juggler–the corporate sort, of course. (Although, Christos, if you can juggle, we’ll get the spinning plates and fire torches ready.) Since joining Allbirds in 2023, Christos has become an integral part of our leadership team. When we asked his teams to describe him, the consensus was: “world’s best boss.” Our counsel advised that this is a rhetorical hyperbole, and is not considered a statement of fact, but we really believe he is. Christos, thank you for being such an important part of The Flock. And thank you for reviewing our silly little social posts to be sure we don’t say anything incriminating.

Oh hi, Dubai! We’ve just opened our doors at the Dubai Mall, in partnership with our Gulf Coast Countries distributor, Alyasra Fashion–so we’re hoping you might stop in and say hey. You know what they say: new places, new faces, new … laces? Or something like that. See you soon. 📍 Address: Level 2, Dubai Mall 

Just Googled “How to market an open marketing role,” and the results told us to come here. If only we had a Senior Manager of Brand Marketing to give us advice. Sigh. They would definitely know how to attract a highly strategic, creatively-minded and results-oriented marketer. No doubt, they’d suggest that we mention this new addition to our team will lead the development and delivery of marketing programs, from seasonal shoots to brand campaigns. Oh, and that we’re a company that values sustainability, innovation, and work-life balance. Yeah, they’d definitely tell us to include that. But instead, we’ll just say that we’re seeking a Senior Manager of Brand Marketing to join The Flock, and that the link to apply is right here.

We know that us brand accounts can occasionally–okay, maybe even often–be guilty of talking about ourselves too much. Which is why we're elated to share that this is now an Amy Powney fan account. Amy is a friend of The Flock, an inspiration to our team (and many others), and a trailblazer in sustainable fashion. So, it just makes sense to pause our usual self-indulgence to applaud her. Amy joined Mother of Pearl as an assistant in 2006 and quickly worked her way up to become the brand’s Creative Director and owner. Known for it’s no-frills aesthetic and impressive sustainable credentials, the brand has dressed everyone from Paloma Faith to Gwyneth Paltrow. In 2022, the documentary Fashion Reimagined came out, detailing Amy’s quest to design a completely sustainable collection from field to finished garment. We sat down with her to discuss her professional journey, where she finds inspiration, and what brands she's keeping an eye on, so that you can join us in fangirl-ing over this dear friend of ours.

A day spent with Mother Nature, AND Mother of Pearl? That’s what we call the Mother of All excursions. We brought our favorite people together for an afternoon of birdwatching–led by our friends at Flock Together–and discussion on driving positive change in the fashion industry. So if you’re looking for a sign to get outside with your colleagues: this is it. (And you're welcome.)

This month, we’re celebrating someone who HATES the spotlight: Our Senior Director of Product Creation, James Romero. You’ll thank us one day, James. If you ever log into LinkedIn to check all your fan mail. James is an Allbirds OG, having been with The Flock for more than seven years. (That’s approximately 74 years in bird years, according to our calculations.) In that time, he’s overseen the development of dozens of our products, bringing together strategic vision and hands-on know-how to create the Allbirds products you know and love. He also oversaw the delivery of a several-thousand-pound conference table, which will remain in our office, well, forever. Because frankly, we can’t get it back out. Talk about leaving a legacy. Though he’s surely cringing while reading this, what we really want to say is: James, thanks for all you do. Our flock wouldn’t be the same without you.

We put our team to the test with a whole bunch of Allbirds words. ...Sensing any common themes? 🐥 🦅 🦆 🐓

Some businesses gift new hires with branded water bottles, vests and notebooks. We gift something far better: A LinkedIn post. What more could you want–right, Jason Israel? At least it's more sustainable... This is our official, warm welcome to Jason, who has joined our team as VP of Design. Jason brings nearly two decades of experience guiding the creative direction of products and brands, having worked for the likes of The North Face, Salomon and Specialized Bicycle Components. So he's probably got enough branded bottles. Welcome to the team, Jason. We’re really thrilled you’re here, and hope you loved this LinkedIn post. Who needs company merch anyways?
