Funny name, serious business

We make eco-friendly products and donate 50% of our profits to provide clean water and help build toilets for the billions of people who lack proper access to basic facilities. So far, we’ve contributed over $18 million to fund sanitation projects around the globe. We need people like you to join our mission and ensure everyone around the world has access to clean water and a toilet.

As a genuine remote-first company, we lean into being a high-functioning distributed team. We recognise some people achieve maximum productivity and work-life balance being fully remote. We have a strong culture of trust, and we love to deliver and delight!

Our engagement surveys (thanks Culture Amp!) tell us that our team is really proud (95%) to work for Who Gives A Crap and, well, we couldn’t be more proud of that.

Have you made it this far?

If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person.

Here’s the thing, though — research suggests that 60% of women and underrepresented folks might have already talked themselves out of applying. Even if you don’t check every box above, we want to encourage you to introduce yourself.

We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the closer we are to delivering toilets and clean water for all.
