Patagonia, founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, is a renowned outdoor apparel company based in Ventura, California. As a certified B-Corporation, Patagonia's mission revolves around saving the planet. The company is well-known for its commitment to product quality and environmental activism, donating 1% of sales annually, which has resulted in over $100 million in grants and in-kind donations since 1985. Patagonia continually seeks motivated individuals to join their team, whether in retail stores, the Ventura headquarters, the Reno Service Center, or occasionally in overseas offices. Ideal candidates are passionate about spending time in the mountains or wilderness, feel more comfortable in base camps or on rivers than in offices, and have a strong interest in pursuits outside of themselves, such as surfing, opera, climbing, gardening, skiing, or community activism.
