About Outdoorsy

Outdoorsy transformed access to the outdoors with the launch of its RV rental marketplace in 2015, and expanded to offer marketplace insurance in 2018. Today, Outdoorsy's partnership with its hosts has resulted in over 7 million travel days through RV rentals that are available in 4,800 cities across North America. Outdoorsy was named one of Fast Company’s ‘Most Innovative Companies’ in 2023 and celebrated over $3b in revenue in 2024.

Outdoorsy's team is inspired by a mission to restore our relationship with the outdoors and each other by inviting guests to Live Outdoorsy. Storytelling and community building have been an integral reason for our company’s growth and as we approach our 10th year we are looking to further invest in this area. This role will help tell the stories that inspire travel and appreciation of the outdoors for families everywhere.
