About the role
Our Mission
Everyone knows the feeling of opening something unexpected and loving it. IcyBox turns that feeling into a business. We started as a watch commerce and mystery box company and are building a consumer brand people trust and come back to. We move fast, sweat the details, and are still writing our playbook.
Our Values
Move Fast, Build Right: Ship today, fix tomorrow.
Own the Gap: If nobody owns it, we step in.
Clarity Is a Gift: Turn noise into decisions and action.
Trust Over Title: Follow-through beats position.
Say the Real Thing: Hard conversations happen early.
Do the Unglamorous Work: No task is beneath us.
