Compensation:

At Elevate Labs, we take a thoughtful and equitable approach to compensation with the goal of offering fair and sustainable salaries to all employees. We use a market-based, pay-for-performance compensation model that we update annually with high-quality industry compensation data.

The full salary range for this role is $88,000-$165,000 USD, but a subset of the range will be used based on each candidate’s location. Final compensation packages are based on several factors that are unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, experience, and location.

Finally, we believe that people should be paid equitably for their expected (and then actual) contributions rather than negotiation skills. To that end, we give all successful candidates our “first and best” offer, and have a no-negotiation policy. We also provide all employees with consistent opportunities to receive compensation increases in line with their contributions and impact throughout their tenure.

How We Hire:

At Elevate Labs, we seek to build high-impact teams with high talent density, and we invest a lot of time and care into the hiring process. Your resume will be reviewed by a human, so we encourage you to keep resumes short (one page should do) and submit it as a PDF.

You can expect both a take-home skills assessment and behavioral interviews, during which you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your expertise.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion:

We believe that there is no single candidate profile that guarantees success in this role. Experience comes in different forms; many skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way. If your background is similar to the job description and you think you can excel in this role, please apply and tell us about yourself and the impact you could make at Elevate Labs.

We also know that diversity of identity, experience, and thought leads to more creativity, better problem-solving, and wiser decisions, which is why we're dedicated to adding new perspectives to our team. We are an equal opportunity employer; committed to diversity and building an equitable and inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and experiences, and we're taking steps to meet that commitment. We highly encourage members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ folks, veterans, and people with disabilities.
