Company Description
Wahoo Fitness was founded in 2010 with the goal to better connect smartphones to fitness activities. Our first products were launched in August of 2010 and the company has grown substantially since then, resulting in multi-millions in revenues in 2011 with strong profitability. The company closed its Series A funding in November 2011 to drive ongoing growth.
Wahoo Fitness is driven by enthusiasts - we ride, run, or workout everyday - and this passion translates into our company and our products. We currently have 10 employees and are looking for proven, successful people to continue our growth. Wahoo Fitness is based in Atlanta, GA.
Wahoo People
Wahoo Fitness team members are good at what we do because we’re passionate about it. We’re looking for folks who have a variety of outside interests and who are as passionate about what they do for work and for fun. You don’t have to be an Olympic athlete or rocket scientist to work at Wahoo Fitness, but you should do what you love and love what you do.
Wahoo Team members are self-starting, self-motivated, initiative-taking, and make-it-happen kind of people. We’re a small company, so we need people who can figure things out on their own, know when to ask for help, and can drive things forward quickly and efficiently. An ownership mindset is a must - don’t expect for someone to do your job for you. We think that excuses kinda suck - so don’t try to blame our dog, Winnie, when your homework isn’t done.
We’re nice people. And a lot of what we do is based on building great relationships. The relationships with our customers, with our App partners, with our manufacturers, and- most importantly- with each other are critically important to our business. We want to work with folks who have a friendly, positive attitude and a fantastic ability to play well with others. We want people who build friendships, not networks.
At Wahoo Fitness, our culture is an important part of who we are and what we do. If you think this description fits you, we would love to meet you. Please throw your name in the ring and we will do our best to get back to you soon!
