4ocean is on a mission to save the world’s oceans, and we are looking for a Senior Manager of Partnerships to help us advance our cause.

About 4ocean

4ocean is a mission-driven for-profit business, dedicated to removing trash from our oceans and coastlines while inspiring individuals to work together for cleaner oceans.

Founded In 2017, 4ocean was created with the mission to sell a product that would enable the company to fund a worldwide cleanup initiative. This is how our first product, the 4ocean bracelet, was born. Made from recycled materials, every bracelet purchased funds the removal of one pound of trash from the ocean and coastlines. In five years, we have sold enough bracelets to enable us to pull over 25 million pounds of trash from the ocean.

Bracelet sales are just the beginning. We are building an assortment of high-quality, sustainably made products that help people reduce their dependence on single-use plastic, reuse the materials we collect from the ocean, and celebrate the 4ocean brand and ocean-conscious lifestyle.

Beyond our products, we combat the ocean plastic crisis through technology, cleanups, influence, and education. We are a for-profit business, because we believe in creating sustainable, profitable business models around cleaning the ocean rather than relying on external funding. Our ocean clean-up operations, currently in the U.S, Guatemala, and Indonesia, are meticulously documented and audited for transparency, and are regularly expanding to new locations and deploying new clean-up technologies.

We are a fast paced, entrepreneurial group that values making things happen even when we face great challenges. We are problem solvers, and we are passionate about growing our business and making a huge difference while we do it.
