Understory

🌊 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 Understory is a fully vertical platform built for experience businesses - from kayak tours to cooking classes. We help experience creators manage their operations, grow their bookings, and run their business with less stress and more clarity. Our focus is global, our ambition is high, and our team is all in on building the go-to platform for experience creators worldwide. We are a venture-backed company scaling fast, with customers in 10+ countries and offices in Denmark and Barcelona. 👥 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 At Understory, great work starts with ownership. We trust people to take initiative, make decisions, and see things through. Ownership isn't about getting everything right. It's about taking responsibility, learning quickly, and helping each other move forward as we are building the leading platform for experience businesses - and we approach that with the same energy and ambition as the people we serve. Everything we do comes back to the people we serve, and that includes our team. We choose our people carefully, prioritize transparency over hierarchy, context over control, and sustainable performance over short-term heroics. You'll have the space to do your best work, and have colleagues who notice — both when things go well and when you need support. 🚀 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 We're growing fast, which means priorities evolve and not everything is fully figured out. That's part of what makes it exciting to go to work every day. You will be joining a team that supports our office first policy, cares deeply about what we're building and invests in each other's growth. There truly is room to grow here, and a commitment to shape something truly category-defining.
