About Thrilly

• Working at Thrilly, you will get invaluable experience behind the wheel of a growing start up, and have fun along the way. There's nothing more rewarding than developing products, seeing them at your local Target + Walmart, and playing games you helped create with family and friends.
• We will also have fun work travel to NY Toy Fair, and possible Walmart + Target headquarters this year.

• Strong written and verbal communication - you’ll be the connective tissue between the founder, creatives, and factories.

• Important: You are very driven, detail oriented, and have true entrepreneurial spirit

Bonus Points For:

• Consumer products, games, or physical product backgrounds
• Startup or founder-adjacent experience
• Supply chain / production cycle fluency

Logistics

• 6-month contract with strong intent to convert to full-time
• Compensation: $80-100k annualized equivalent during contract, based on experience
• On conversion: full-time salary + meaningful early-stage stock option + additional benefits + clear path to Head of Operations

This Role Is Right for You If

You want to be part of a startup, not just work at one. You're excited by the idea of helping build something from the inside — where the systems you put in place, the relationships you manage, and the problems you solve directly shape where the company goes next. You think like an owner, not an employee, and the prospect of earning equity in a business you helped scale is genuinely motivating to you. If you're looking for a seat at the table and a chance to grow with a company rather than just grow within one, this is it.
