ABOUT EATON WORKSHOP

The mission of Eaton Workshop is to subvert business conventions through radical practices to create progressive social change. Our community gathers to collaborate, inspire, share, and support each other in their shared mission to create a more just world where we are all liberated to be our truest selves. Our properties champion our brand pillars: Impact (social justice and environmental sustainability), Culture (the arts, literature, theater, music), Media (radio, film), Wellness (holistic mind-body-spirit healing), and House (purpose-driven collaborative workspace), as well as beautifully designed, ethical hotel and F&B offerings.

We encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply to work with us at Eaton Workshop - people of color, women, LGBTQ, international citizens, indigenous, artists, activists, and more. We welcome professionals who strongly believe in our mission and can demonstrate parallel or applicable experience and skills to help us achieve it. We do not discriminate on the basis of religion, gender, age, or disability status. We are looking for people who embody integrity, compassion, humility, a radical approach to social change, and a collaborative spirit. We are not looking for people who pursue ego, who put profit above all else, and who don’t truly support our mission. Ultimately, we are looking for people who have an adaptive mindset and see the value in going beyond the status quo.

The coronavirus pandemic and the acceleration of the Movement for Black Lives have challenged Eaton Workshop to rise up to our values and adapt to a changed world. To honor our role as a sanctuary, we have implemented new health and safety measures for our fellows and our guests. We hope that our commitment to your health and safety provides the necessary comfort for you to apply to this position.
