Careers
Our values shape our culture, and our culture shapes how it feels to work here. We’ve been deliberate about both.

Life at Wheelhouse.
Our culture is grounded in five values: Helpfulness, Generosity, Joyfulness, Stewardship, and Integrity. We invest in our team in concrete ways, with fully paid benefits, unlimited PTO, three months of parental leave, and a yearly education credit. We build strong relationships, mark the wins, and take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. Our leaders are committed to healthy growth, the kind that adds to the culture rather than straining it. This is a place to do the best work of your career alongside people who are genuinely glad you’re here.
Although we are spread across the country, we make efforts to connect in meaningful ways, from daily interactions to biannual onsite retreats that facilitate getting to know each other on a deeper level. In a recent onsite in Seattle, we decided to do something a little different. We asked every Wheelhouse employee to write something genuine about two of their coworkers, sealed it all in envelopes, and handed each person their own. Here’s a look at what happened when they opened them.
wheelhouse / generosity
All of our values matter, but three shape the day-to-day experience of working here more than the rest. The first is Generosity.
Here are just a few of the ways that Generosity is put into practice at Wheelhouse:
- Wheelhouse pays 100% of the cost for excellent medical, dental, and vision coverage for all employees, spouses, and their children – and the plans provided are the very best we would find for a company our size
- 401k plan and dollar-for-dollar company match up to 4%
- Unlimited PTO
- 3 months of paid parental leave
- Yearly education credit
- Monthly gym stipend
- At the end of each quarter, the company supports a “Generosity Day.” All employees are given a day off (with pay) for the sole purpose of providing service to the community around them. The company also provides funding for donations of cash and/or goods.
- Employees enjoy free use of facilities at Vertical World, a climbing gym located just 100 yards or so from the office.
- Our leadership team sincerely values and supports vacation time. Wheelhouse closes its offices during the holidays to ensure employees can truly relax and enjoy time with family. Our offices are closed between December 23rd and the first Monday after January 1st. This time is not deducted from employee vacation time.
wheelhouse / helpfulness
The interplay of generosity and helpfulness plays a big part in making Wheelhouse a great place to work. We are helpful to our clients and generous with our time—and the same applies to one another. Again, a Glassdoor reviewer says it best:
“The tight-knit culture (of collaboration, mindfulness, and trust) breeds a happy team that consistently goes above and beyond for clients.”
Wheelhouse hires senior specialists with deep expertise in privacy-first digital marketing. The culture works because those experts aren’t just available to each other, they’re glad to help. That combination, real depth plus genuine willingness, is a big part of why people stay.
wheelhouse / joy
We believe that our work should create joy—for ourselves and for our clients. That joy may be the delight of creativity, the satisfaction of achievement, the exhilaration of learning or simply the pleasure of laughter, but we pay special attention to ensure that joy is a consistent part of our client relationships and our work together.
We also invest in joy, in real and tangible ways.
Wheelhouse has twin, complementary missions:
- To be the very best, most helpful partner with which any client works
- To be the best place to work for as many employees as possible
Company growth is entirely focused on supporting these missions, namely:
- Being as helpful as possible to an ever-increasing number of clients
- Growing the company so that more employees can benefit from this experience
Because no outside investors are involved, company leadership can be entirely focused on “healthy growth” that is consistent with these missions. At Wheelhouse, this means growth that doesn’t unduly stress employees, is consistent with company values and is additive to the culture. This ensures that Wheelhouse will continue to be a great place to work.
