Work Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan and/or Remote
What it’s like to work at Navv
We are headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan and have a small office there. Most of our team works
remote, but the office is there for those who like the option of a break from the house -- you get to
choose! Because we are largely remote we rely heavily on digital communication tools to interact and
increase connection, and we gather for all-staff in-person meetings at least once a quarter.
We encourage team members to explore areas of interest and love to see people accomplish
professional and personal astonishing feats. We believe our work can be a meaningful aspect of our
lives, not just a paycheck. That being said, we respect people’s personal time and space. We understand
the importance of flexibility and that our employees have families and lives outside of work, too.
We offer competitive pay and unlimited vacation, meaningful equity, health insurance, 401k matching
and other benefits.
