About Very
Very was launched in 2011, but back then, we were known as Spartan Systems. As a remote-first company, we started with employees in Maryland, Massachusetts, Tennessee and New York. In 2013, our business was growing at a rapid pace, and we decided our need for a conventional office space was undeniable. Chattanooga, TN became our first “real” company location. Employees could continue to work remotely, they could work out of our new office space or a mix if they chose.
After a company rebrand in 2017, we became Very. Like the word itself, Very exists to emphasize impact- not for ourselves, but for the companies we serve. Our work has always been about positioning our clients for long-term success, and then amplifying it.
Towards the end of 2018, we sold our office space and now we are proud to say: Very is a remote-only company. We don’t have a physical office... anywhere. In fact, looking for great talent in non-traditional locations is baked right into our hiring process and we believe it’s what makes us awesome. Our operations and culture are built to nurture and leverage this reality.
Before you apply, please check if any restrictions apply in terms of time zone or country.
