Job Description

Job Description: Director of People and Culture

About the Company

Launched in late 2021 to serve frontline workers, ARC was born out of the consumer-facing technology that phone charging provider ChargeItSpot brought to market in 2012. ARC is a device management solution integrated with smart lockers, designed to store, secure, and charge company-owned handheld devices (i.e., by Zebra, Honeywell, etc.) that frontline workers use to do their jobs and perform their core job functions (e.g., for package scanning, inventory lookup, task management, mobile point of sale, etc.). 

Clients turn to ARC because they find that it is extremely difficult to manage and maintain their investment in enterprise mobile devices post purchase. There's a ton of waste from legacy, manual processes. Devices frequently go missing (25% annually), stop working, or run out of power – costing payroll time, money and productivity. ARC virtually eliminates these issues, ensuring that devices are functional, charged and not missing -- all while improving productivity and experience for ground teams. 

Market demand for ARC has been overwhelming and the company has been growing rapidly. Device management has been a huge unmet need for decades with a problem space that is deceptively nuanced, complex and costly. ARC is uniquely positioned to solve these problems given its decade of relevant technical expertise with ChargeItSpot phone-charging lockers, our legacy mobile device product. ARC builds upon ChargeItSpot’s competencies and has carried over expertise like IP (protected by 8 patents and counting), deep technical know-how, and real-world experience gained while solving similar problems in a live field environment.

ARC’s Mission

Minimize Device Waste. Maximize Worker Productivity. Make Life Easier.

ARC’s Vision

Be the unrivaled leader in physical device management. With more than 25,000 ARC units deployed by 2030, ARC will simplify life for more than 1,000,000 workers every day.

About the Team

At ARC, we surround ourselves with independent thinkers who are detail-oriented, and customer obsessed. Our clients have routinely called us “the most talented team they’ve ever worked with.” We value determination, resourcefulness, imagination, and follow-through. We want people who are ready to get things done.

Our focus is fierce, but it’s not all hard work. We take time to get to know each other through a daily game of Jeopardy, meals together, and nights out for karaoke. We operate a hybrid work model, with most team members working in the office a couple of days a week, and the rest remotely.

Our Core Values

• We do what we say we will do.
• Details matter. A lot.
• Bias for action.
• Customer obsession.
• Diversity and authenticity.
• No ego. Only outcome.
• Think big.
