Why Relay Might Be the Perfect Fit For You

You push relentlessly for reinvention:

You're built to constantly ask, "How can this be better?" Change excites you and you drive it.

You crave autonomy:

We trust our team with big challenges and the freedom to solve them. If you're someone who takes initiative, is comfortable taking risks, and seeks input when needed, you'll find the freedom here empowering.

You own your work:

You take pride in your work, follow through on commitments, and feel a deep sense of responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks.

You treat comfort as a red flag:

You seek growth. When things feel too comfortable, you lean into change. You're excited about stepping into the unknown and navigating new terrain to create something better alongside your team.

You care about impact, not noise:

You care deeply about the substance of your work. You measure success by results, not recognition and you let your work speak for itself.

You're energized by complexity and ambiguity:

You enjoy tackling problems that don't come with a playbook. You're comfortable building from scratch, iterating as you go, and collaborating to shape the best path forward.

You seek out feedback:

We value directness, clarity, and respect. We believe honesty fuels great work and career growth. You see feedback as a tool for learning and improvement, and you know that open, honest dialogue is key to achieving the best results -- together.

You're here for more than a job:

At Relay, everything we do is in service of our mission to help small businesses thrive. To drive impact and have purpose here, that mission must matter to you too.

Here, we make sure every team member feels empowered to make big decisions, encourage to ask tough questions, and challenged to take risks that result in work we're all proud of. We give you the baton-you run the Relay.

What's Important to Us:

Research shows that women-identifying and other marginalized individuals often apply only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. But no one is a perfect match on paper. If this role excites you, we'd love to hear from you and figure out together if it's a great fit.


At Relay, we believe that diversity is key to building high-performing teams, and creating an inclusive work environment is our priority. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
