The Return Path Experience

Don't get us wrong, it's not easy to land a gig at RP. You're going to go through 8-12 interviews and really have to want it. You're going to have to learn the ins and outs of our business before you even get here. Here's the good news: only the best and brightest minds in email work here. So, once you're in, this is a place where you'll be challenged, inspired, rewarded and transformed. Really, you ask? Yes, really. The Return Path experience is a two-way exchange. We ask you to give us your very best every day. We expect a lot from you. We challenge you with interesting work, stretch assignments, a collaborative work environment and a ton of learning and growth. The pace is fast and furious. In exchange, we give you everything you need to live a happy, balanced life. This includes great pay, open vacation (yup, you heard that right!), great benefits, flexibility and, well, whatever else you need. Everyone is unique and we pride ourselves on not having one-size-fits-all solutions. At Return Path you're a person, not a title. What's important in your life right now? Kids, pets, triathlons, church, tango, karate, yoga, parents, Pilates, pre-natal—we will support you through it all. Give and take. That's a Return Path career path.
