Hi M***k, Great questions,here’s a bit more on both fronts: 1. Remote/Hybrid Policy - F***n T***s operates a flexible hybrid model: most leaders come into our Denver HQ 2,3 days per week for strategy sessions, lab reviews and team workshops, and work remotely the rest of the time. - We trust our senior team to own their schedules, so if you need extra on-site days for supplier visits or sprint weeks, we’ll accommodate. 2. Ballpark Compensation - The base salary for this Chief Innovation Officer role typically falls between $200K,$240K, depending on experience. - On top of that, you’d be eligible for a target performance bonus (around 15,20% of base) plus an equity grant to ensure you have real skin in the game. - You’ll also receive full benefits, including health coverage and a 401(k) match. Hope that gives you the clarity you need. If this aligns with your expectations, let me know a couple of windows when you’re free for a 15,20 minute call, and I’ll lock it in.
