Job Description

Wondercide was founded 15 years ago by Stephanie Boone. When her dog Luna became ill from what her vet suspected were conventional flea and tick treatments and monthly pest control services, Stephanie knew there had to be a better way and set out on a mission to invent a plant-powered alternative. Today, Wondercide offers a comprehensive line of plant-powered pest control solutions for pets, yards, homes, and families, with more than 50,000 5-star reviews on Amazon.

Wondercide, based in Austin, TX, is a privately held, high-growth, and digitally native consumer packaged goods company that has an omnichannel presence and is expanding into specialty brick-and-mortar and beyond. The company is a vertically integrated organization where sales, marketing, creative content, customer service, innovation, procurement, mixing, production, fulfillment, and more are all done in-house. This allows the team to control their own destiny from a multi-year roadmap down to quality of execution via operational excellence.

We are a close-knit, highly collaborative team of ‘doers’ who operate in an entrepreneurial and KPI-driven environment. Grit, Action, Curiosity,

Ownership, and Insight are the five operating values we embody in our day-to-day work.
