Tides Careers

For Tidesters, working toward social justice is a shared responsibility. Together, we use our diverse experiences, expertise, and backgrounds to drive change — both within our workplace and in support of the proximate leaders at the center of our mission.

Our Values

We Are Future Focused

We embrace continuous learning and improvement in our pursuit of excellence in our work. We know where we have been will not get us where we need to go, and we work with colleagues and our partners to determine how to achieve our mission together.

We Embrace Accountability

We take our accountability to our work and each other seriously — out of respect for our colleagues, in service of our partners, and in pursuit of our impact goal.

We Embody Respect

We strive to be hard on systems of oppression and gentle with people. We value, dignify, and take care of one another. 

We Practice Transparency

We know that knowledge is power, and we are committed to sharing it. We embrace the challenging conversations that arise through our collective efforts because we trust in our shared commitment to shifting power.

We Nurture Collaboration

Tidesters take individual and collective responsibility to actively cultivate a collegial work environment. We know that diversity is our greatest strength, and that our most effective solutions and biggest impacts are the result of working in partnership. 

A Message From Sr. Director of Talent, Ashlie Grundy

Every Tidester has a part to play in shifting power and resources to communities who have historically been denied both. We look for Tidesters who share our vision for a more just and equitable future, and we strive to build a team that’s as diverse as the communities we serve. Though our work calls us to direct our focus outward, our promise is to also ignite potential from within. We strive to prioritize the programs, practices, and development of Tidesters of all backgrounds to continue their meaningful work.

Working at Tides

We’re committed to showing up for our team and nurturing their growth by providing supportive, fulfilling Tides careers. 

Work from Anywhere

After closing our offices in 2020 due to COVID-19, Tides reopened our offices in New York and San Francisco in 2021, thereby marking our transition to a hybrid organization. Today, Tides supports Tidesters in their choice to live and work from anywhere in the US as a remote-first workplace. Where you work is up to you!

Holistic Benefits

We offer comprehensive benefits to meet your and your family’s unique needs, including medical, dental, vision, and life insurances; vacation and sick/wellness days; a retirement plan with a match from Tides; equipment and stipends for your home office setup; professional development funds and tuition reimbursement; access for you and up to 4 others to Calm; fertility healthcare and family-forming benefits through Carrot; and more.

Employee Union

Some positions at Tides are represented by and subject to a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with SEIU Local 1021. We specify on each job opening if it is included in this CBA. Those hired into a union-supported position will receive information regarding their benefits, rights, and obligations at a new hire orientation facilitated by a union representative. Tides is grateful for the work that SEIU and many other unions have done to support equity, empowerment, and social justice. Read our collective bargaining agreement.

Pay Transparency

At Tides we openly share our approach to compensation to create trust, hold ourselves and each other accountable, and ensure equity across the organization. In support of wage transparency advancements, all of our job postings include salary information. We value pay equity and account for factors such as your location within the US and your relevant experience, and we will not ask for your salary history. Our recruitment team will gladly share more details during the interview process.
