What You’ve Accomplished
How You Thrive
You go “all out.” You tend to approach everything you do with velocity. From your next exhilarating outdoor adventure to scaling meaningful peaks at work, you act with speed, direction, ethics, and forethought. Your efficiency is rooted in the knowledge that resources are not infinite. You are goal-oriented and focused on outcomes. When you see a challenge or obstacle to overcome, you jump in collaboratively to find a solution; team achievements should be celebrated more than individual performance. You are compelled to share your perspective because it is rooted in experience and synthesis thinking - you know that healthy debate yields better decisions. You are humble despite your impressive past accomplishments. Your communication style is honest and forthright, yet empathetic, with everyone.
KENT Outdoors is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
Born on the water. Expanding to the land.
For leading brands in the outdoor category, “passion” doesn’t quite cut it. “On fire.” “Live and breathe.” “Hell bent.” More like it?
We’re Kent Outdoors and we understand. We give brands and teams the support and resources they need — and we get out of the way.
We’ve been doing what we do since 1959. That’s a long time — to try a lot of things, to hold on to what works and learn and move on from what doesn’t, to really get to know the territory.
We’ve learned a lot about what makes leading brands tick — and how to best help them serve their outdoor-enthusiast communities. We’ve worked with some of the iconic names and best-made products on the water. And we’d like to think we’ve helped those brands transform many lives.
Now, we’re bringing that insider knowledge to a larger number of outdoor brands. Because, we’ve realized, there’s a very powerful common thread.
