Some of our open positions
Our values
Underpinning everything we do at Second Nature are our values – the North Star that guides every daily decision, big or small.
01
Where there's a why, there's a way.
We’re a purpose-driven business on a mission to protect our planet and make a positive impact in the communities we serve. Everything we do is in pursuit of our “why” – our ethics, our actions, and our ambitions.
02
Never settle.
A culture of additive improvement leads to exponential growth over time.
03
Own it.
Ours is a culture of ownership. We hire intentionally and trust our people to run with it (whatever “it” may be). We think like entrepreneurs and act like owners.
04
Stronger together.
As the ancient adage goes – if you want to go far, go together. We collaborate often and enthusiastically. We understand the power of community, and we nurture and protect ours.
05
Forward without fear.
We innovate rapidly, bravely and often. We accelerate great ideas, and perfect them on the go. We create the conditions for creativity, and the rest follows. We’re about green lights, not red tape.
06
Life-changing transformation.
We want Second Nature to be the pivot point around which lives and people transform, both personally and professionally.
07
Authentically ourselves.
We’re focused on building a supportive, enjoyable working environment premised on genuine connection and community. We want people to feel free to be their real, authentic selves.
