What we’re building

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, and we're starting with electric water sport boats.

Gas boats dominate today’s marine industry not because of great product offerings but because of a lack of better alternatives. Boaters have grown accustomed to vehicles that feel stuck in the 1980s: unreliable, expensive, loud, noxious, and a nightmare to own and operate. They’re also awful for the water and air they reside in.

By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way: not only are they far more reliable and less costly to operate, but they’re also quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants. However, they’ve been held back by both the technology and the talent to make them truly competitive with gas alternatives. That’s Arc’s opportunity.

Using modern, aerospace- and automotive-inspired techniques, we’re building our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software together to deliver the next generation of watercraft.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone that is excited by our vision, eager for a challenge, and willing to learn on the job. We pride ourselves on transparency and operate in a lean, high-trust environment that encourages everyone to take ownership over their domain.

You will report directly to our Captain of Culture and will work from our manufacturing facility in Torrance, CA. Given that we’re a startup, you will be working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment that requires adaptability. That said, here are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to stay relatively constant for this role.

Core responsibilities

• Event Planning: Assist with pre-event planning, including timelines, logistics, vendor coordination, and budgeting
• On-Site Event Support: Helping with setup, registration, guest management, and breakdown of events
• Communications: Coordinate event-related communications, including email invitations, reminders, and post-event surveys
• Vendor Management: Work closely with vendors to ensure timely delivery of services and supplies for events
• Research & Innovation: Assist with researching trends, themes, and best practices to enhance event experiences
• Cross-Departmental Collaboration: Shadow and work alongside the People Operations team to gain insight into various HR functions like onboarding, benefits, and employee experience. 

Basic qualifications 

• Currently pursuing a degree in Event Management, Hospitality, Business, Communications, or a related field
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• A positive attitude and a desire to learn!

Bonus qualifications 

• Knowledge of design tools like Canva, Adobe Illustrator, or Photoshop 
• Photography / videography experience 
• Customer Service or Hospitality experience

At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You’re always welcome to reach out even if you don’t meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.

What we value

We value these five things above all else:

• Ownership over both your work and the company’s success
• Empathy for colleagues and for customers
• Humility in problem solving and collaboration
• Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
• Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, cultures, etc.

Given that we work in a sometimes intense or stressful environment, it’s vital that our values align. We’d be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process.

What you’ll get

• Talented teammates that challenge you to be better
• Access and often input to a wide range of business activities
• An hourly wage of $30
• An opportunity to have an outsized impact on industry-defining vehicles
• The ability to drive positive environmental change through your work
• Daily lunches, plenty of snacks, lots of swag, and more
• Boat rides!

Hope to hear from you soon!
