Business Unusual. As an outdoor company dedicated to enhancing and inspiring exploration
for adventurers and their human companions, we do things a little differently.
We believe success goes beyond making great products. Our privately held
company mindfully reinvests its profits back into our business to create a
sustainable, nimble organization. Our adventurous and curious team is empowered
to take calculated risks that promote product innovation, strengthen customer
relationships and reduce our impact on the planet. Ruffwear partners with
grassroots organizations and initiatives like The Conservation Alliance,
working together to protect and restore the wild lands and waterways where
canines and humans connect and thrive. What started as a one-man endeavor in
1994 is now a globally recognized leader in the outdoor industry, and our
culture has been recognized by Outside
Magazine as one of its 100 Best Places to Work. Based in Bend, Oregon, our
warm and collaborative atmosphere at Ruffwear invites the sharing of ideas through respectful, stimulating dialogue and enthusiastic support for the implementation of new initiatives. Our faithful pack is intrepid enough to climb a mountain, but prudent and canny enough to backtrack if the route doesn’t feel right, and resourceful enough to blaze a new trail to the summit. We are looking for a seasoned territory ambassador with international sales experience to represent our brand and build loyal relationships with global customers. Intrigued? Read on.
