The Standard's benefits go far beyond competitive paid time off, 401(k) matches and medical options. They also put a premium on our well-being. Access to child care and mental health care for me and my family at no extra cost was very appreciated in this past year during a really difficult time.

Work Where You Live
The Standard is committed to supporting a remote workforce. While we're based in Portland, Oregon, many of our roles can be worked from anywhere in the U.S.
We support you with a remote new hire package including a laptop, two monitors, a docking station, keyboard, mouse and headset. Plus we give you $400 to round that out with a desk, comfy office chair or whatever else you need to get set up for success in your new role.
That's not all. Our leaders are committed to managing the transition to a remote and hybrid workforce. And we're supporting them with leader resources and a series of learning opportunities ranging from building team culture, to coaching and recognition, development and more.
Our transition to working remotely has been supported at every level from the CEO on down. We're given a generous allowance to outfit our home offices. And, we're encouraged to establish work schedules that allow us to meet customer needs while still taking care of ourselves and our families. I really can't think of anywhere else I would rather work.
