Director of Accounting

About Us

At Parachute we are focused on creating premium, responsibly-made home essentials that fill homes with soft landings. We believe the home is an extension of one's self, it offers a sense of belonging and welcomes all with ease and warmth. Home is where we recharge, wash off the day and rest up for tomorrow. It is the most comforting word there is – that’s why they say there’s no place like it. The unmistakable feeling of home is what inspired us to create Parachute and we invite you to join us in helping people transform a house into a home. 

We're looking for people who are curious, accountable, and motivated to build something exceptional together. At Parachute, we value teammates who take ownership, adapt with optimism, challenge themselves to grow, and raise the bar for themselves and those around them. If you're energized by meaningful work, high standards, and the opportunity to make a real impact, we'd love to meet you.
