Company Description:
Founded in 2003, Elephant Journal is a leading mindful media company based in Boulder, Colorado. Elephant Journal is a small company with a big reach and even bigger aspirations. Currently Elephant Journal reaches 11m+ readers per month, has 6m+ followers across the major social channels and is executing an aggressive plan to increase global reach in 2017. Unlike most digital publishers, we do not currently derive the majority of our revenue from advertising which means that we have both a healthy diversification of revenue channels and that our audience is far from saturated with ads.
The company culture is startup-ish without the existential angst. We encourage eco/mindful living with free yoga, flexible schedules, an RTD Eco Pass, paid vacation and “walking and talking” meetings. We have a charming office downtown in Boulder which we expect you to work from 60% of the week.
