An Insider's view of Rue Gilt Groupe

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

I really appreciate Rue Gilt Groupe’s work-life balance. Our marketing team norms include limiting lunchtime meetings and after-hours emails, so there’s a distinction between work and personal time. Additionally, RGG’s flexible time-off policy and Summer Fridays mean Associates can take vacation, sick, and personal days as they want or need to.

Cade

Senior Analyst, Digital Marketing

What does your typical day look like?

The Boston studio is an unparalleled experience as a studio. I’m infused daily with creative positive energy. It’s a special place where collaboration thrives. It’s fashion boot camp. We are a small, tight, passionate group collaborating daily to produce impactful imagery. As a studio photographer, I’m challenged to deliver and raise the bar.

Greg

Studio Photographer

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

Over the years, the flexibility to grow and learn at RGG has afforded me several opportunities to learn about blending data, strategy and consumer behaviors. My Rue Gilt Groupe journey has led me from retention marketing to analytics to growth marketing, and I picked up a whole set of new skills at every turn.

Neha

Director of Growth Marketing

How do your team's ideas influence the company's direction?

By figuring out how to make the consumer journey a better experience for our members, we can actually drive revenue and help grow the business. I love learning about our members and figuring out how to make them happy.

Kayla

Manager, Business Analytics

What is your vision for the company?

The reason I came here is that I believed in and loved the company’s vision and mission – and now I love it even more! The people here are our best asset, and we practice our values: Kind, Collaborative, Tenacious, Innovative, Passionate, and Empowered, every day to inspire each other to be the best we can at what we do!
