What we expect :

Vales-led : You’ll be a member of a thoughtful and compassionate team that prioritizes respect, teamwork and resourcefulness along with a good dash of fun.

Sometimes, even making granola bars is hard, and life’s too short to take ourselves so seriously that we don’t enjoy the journey.

Unparalleled experiences and opportunities : We’re still determining who we are and what we can be. Help us shape what this organization will look like and what we’ll offer the world, into the future.

This means rolling up your sleeves and sometimes building the process fast! while employing it. At Riverside, progress occasionally means proceeding imperfectly, and we’re okay with that, as long as we’re staying true to our values and learning and improving along the way.

Access to everyone : We’re a flat organization with few silos which means you’ll have full access to everyone from our founders to our production staff.

Even when employees dress up, they wear steel-toed shoes. So don’t be shy. Speak up, share your ideas and go places you normally wouldn’t like the plant, or the boardroom.

Personal development : We’ll support and empower you to chart your own path and reach any heights you set for yourself.

Career paths at Riverside are carved by the people walking on them, not dictated by leaders. Count on us to give you the training and tools to grow and progress.

Gratitude : As a growing business, we can’t always offer formal recognition like awards programs, but we do show our true gratitude and appreciation.

At Riverside, we’re all in this together and we value you.

What We Offer :

Values-led : We don’t cut corners or step on anyone or anything on our way to our summit. There is no winning at all costs here.

Every step you take must align with our values, no compromises.

Courageous determination : As a family-run, rapidly growing business, we are often challenged to find ways to deliver that aren’t obvious or easy.

You must be willing to try, ask and answer challenging questions, test and learn, turn over every stone, keep moving forward and help us find a way through.

Resourcefulness and grit will be your constant companions at Riverside and will serve you well.

Humility : We’re a small (but growing) fish in a sea of whales and sharks. We know the products we offer are some of the healthiest and most sustainable, but we don’t brag about it, and know we have a steep path ahead.

We pride ourselves in being respectful and supportive of others while shining bright through our innovative, high-quality products.

There isn’t one superstar at Riverside. We take turns leading the way as we climb to the summit.

Continuous improvement : As a learn-as-we-go organization, we rely on each other to continuously improve everything we touch to make it better, more efficient, more sustainable, and more endearing to customers, consumers, employees, vendors, partners and the community.

We own our mistakes and learn from them as we wind our way to the top.

Wait! There’s more!

• Immerse yourself in our comprehensive benefits program, with Riverside taking care of the costs!
• RRSP matching or IRA matching for an empowered financial journey
• Join Employee-Led Resource Groups (ERGs) championing mental health, sustainability, diversity, women, and LGBTQ+ rights
