Special Projects Manager

About Ruggable:

Ruggable is a Los Angeles-based, venture-backed, rapidly growing e-commerce startup that is disrupting the $7B rug industry and revolutionizing the market for residential rugs.

Our patented 2-Piece Rug System allows you to remove the top layer of your rug and wash it in your home washing machine, offering an affordable, stylish and convenient solution for young families, pet owners, and busy individuals.

We’re a small, entrepreneurial team with big ambitions.

We have a strong brand, established traction, and amazing advisors fueling our steady growth.

This is an opportunity to get in at the ground floor and solve for complex challenges, while charting your own career.

About Levity:

Levity (levityhome.com) is a new brand in the Ruggable portfolio.

Launched in December 2020, Levity’s mission is to build and deliver innovative furniture products that let our customers live without worry.

Much like Ruggable rugs, our patent-pending Chair Systems have removable upholstery that can be washed in a home washing machine and easily interchanged for new styles.

Though it varies across functions, we operate largely independently (think: startup within a startup), giving you the unique ability to help shape the early trajectory of this new business.
