CAREERS

Mavericks Surf Ventures is a small, fast-growing gear and apparel company working on some incredibly exciting things. Not only do we have the honor of putting on the premier big-wave surfing event in the world each year, but we also spend our days developing a Webby Award-nominated website, live webcasts, network television shows, national music tours, surf DVDs, film events, and a sweet line of surf-inspired gear and clothing. We work hard every day to spread the word about Mavericks™ – the surf break, the contest, and experience. Our long-term goal -- to take the unique and awe-inspiring big-wave phenomenon that is Mavericks, and turn it into a message of courage, facing one’s fears, and challenging one’s own personal limits.

Look around the MSV office, and you will see people just like you. We’re passionate outdoor athletes -- surfers, marathoners, beach volleyball players, rugby players, and more. We’ve come from near and far to get here, and we bring a wide variety of unique backgrounds and perspectives to our work. What ties us all together is a love of surfing, the outdoors and the ocean, as well as a passion for growing our small apparel business. We work hard every day, but we also work smart, saving time for our personal passions, our families, and doing our part to take care of the natural world around us.

If this sounds like an environment that you could thrive in, we would love to meet you. We are currently hiring for the specific positions listed below. But we’re also always on the look out for talented, driven people who want to make a positive difference. Be warned -- we are extremely picky. Don’t bother if you can’t bring your A Game every single day. But if you think you have what it takes to be part of the Mavericks Family, and you want to help us grow into an industry leader, drop us a line and tell us a little bit about yourself. Who knows, you might become part of something truly phenomenal.
