Community Manager (Los Angeles)

We’re Jiffy. We launched over a decade ago with a simple mission: use tech to combine an unparalleled level of customer service with the fastest delivery in the blank apparel, direct-to-film transfer, and custom apparel industries.We’re more than a T-Shirt company; we’re a support system for the creator + creator economy, home hobbyist, the small business owner, and more. Today, we help millions of small businesses build their vision from scratch.

Jiffy Shirts is on a mission to fundamentally disrupt the stagnant, multi-billion-dollar custom apparel industry. We are an AI-first technology company building the future of on-demand manufacturing and e-commerce. We have a profitable, fast-growing business, and we are reinvesting to build a future where fashion is instant, personal, and created by everyone.

We operate with a wartime mentality. Our culture is defined by speed, extreme ownership, and a relentless refusal to be blocked. We are not looking for someone who wants a comfortable 9-to-5. We are looking for operators who want to get in the fight, aggressively take on the market, and build something legendary.
