Equal Opportunities and Accommodations
Obran is deeply committed to creating workplaces and a community of members where equity is prioritized and valued. We believe that traditional corporations’ bad behavior disproportionately hurts the most marginalized people in society — including people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women and LGBTQ+ people. We believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.
Obran is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities in the employment application process. To request an accommodation, please contact Obran Careers at careers+eeo@obran.coop at least one week in advance of your interview.
