About Back Bay Brand

Back Bay Brand is a fast-growing eCommerce business that develops innovative fitness earbuds. Forbes, Wired Magazine, and Rolling Stone have all recognized our products as the “best workout earbuds.” We have several incredible new products in development, and we’ll be expanding internationally in the next year. The brand has been growing 100%+ annually with a primary focus on Amazon sales, and we’re looking to continue our momentum by adding an operational all-star to our small, scrappy team. At Back Bay, we value strategic thinking and results, not late nights of busy work. We prioritize trust and accountability, not micro-management.
