Job Description:

ABOUT US
Halfday is a better-for-you, gut-healthy iced tea made with prebiotics, lots of flavor, and way less sugar. Just refreshment with benefits.
The brand was founded in 2017 by the co-founding team, Kayvon Jahanbakhsh and Michael Lombardo, who started the brand while still in college after Kayvon was hospitalized for 3 months from Ulcerative Colitis - a lifelong digestive disease - and lost 80 lbs from the illness. Between classes the long-time best friends began crafting drinks that could support digestive health but still tasted delicious, eventually turning to their childhood favorite, iced tea. They then created Halfday: iced tea that has 90% less sugar compared to regular sweetened iced teas and delivers 8 grams of plant fiber for gut health in a refreshingly tasty drink.
OUR TEAM
Halfday was born from the most difficult time in our lives, which gives us a unique perspective on doing business and solving problems. All of our work is remote, allowing us the collaboration and freedom we need to balance work and our personal lives. We're a tightly-knit team that deeply believes in our mission of better digestive health and making it as fun as possible. Each team member is equally invested in each other's personal & professional growth and is excited to support however possible.

    Halfday requires all employees, unless they have received an approved exemption as an accommodation for a medical issue or sincerely held religious belief, to be "up to date" on their vaccines prior to their date of hire. A person is considered "up to date" on their COVID-19 vaccines after they have received their primary series of doses and their booster shots, when eligible. When a person is not eligible for a booster, they are considered "up to date" two weeks after they receive the final dose of their primary series. When a person is eligible for a booster, they are considered "up to date" immediately after they receive the booster. This policy applies to any vaccine authorized to prevent COVID-19 by the FDA, including by way of an emergency use authorization, or by the World Health Organization (WHO), or an active COVID-19 clinical trial (non-placebo). Vaccination verification (or accommodation approval) must be completed before the date of hire.
