I wake up every morning excited and proud to work at Launch That because this company is helping me become the best version of myself. At Launch That, you will find opportunities to grow personally and professionally in a collaborative culture that offers flexibility and support.

Personal and Professional Growth Opportunities

You do not have to leave Launch That to advance in your career or even to change your career path. If you ask our CEO or president, they’ll say Launch That’s most valuable asset is our people. Launch That invests in its people and deeply cares about employees’ health, safety and professional growth. The company is diligent in hiring talented people and supporting their long-term growth.

Culture of Collaboration

It’s so inspiring to work alongside skilled, driven people who share my passion for creating the most valuable digital brands. There’s a level of respect and trust across disciplines and teams that I have not experienced anywhere else I have worked. It’s normal to sit with our president in the breakroom for lunch, take a break to challenge our CFO in a ping pong match or chat with our CEO at a company happy hour. Ideas are encouraged and taken seriously regardless of tenure or title. Plus, I am fortunate to work every day alongside some of my closest friends.

Flexibility and Support

Launch That has taught me how to work to live, not live to work. We embrace a hybrid working model that consists of work-from-home opportunities with in-office days to maximize team collaboration and flexibility. Our “office hours” are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and employees have the freedom to decide how they want to schedule their 8-hour workday within that window.

Employees also enjoy generous PTO and are encouraged to use it! We focus on in-depth training and documentation so that employees can fully disconnect during their PTO with confidence, knowing that their team is there to support them. We work hard and appreciate a work/life balance. All of our team members enjoy a paid, company-wide Holiday Break from Dec. 24 to Jan. 1 each year — in addition to a half dozen other company holidays throughout the year.
