“WORKS HARD, KNOWS HOW TO PARTY”
RUBY is a community-driven company. We thrive on aiming high, nailing it, and having a good time in the process.
We have an iterative working style, and are dedicated to honestly reflecting on how we are performing, celebrating our successes and working out how we can improve.
The locations of our IRL stores are ones where we love to hang out, and our shiny new RUBY HQ is something we are both proud of, and excited to develop.
CLOTHING IS VALUABLE
We really care about the work that we do, and believe that it contributes to the communities we are part of.
We want team members who can imagine a flourishing future for RUBY, and our communities, and have the determination to bring their ideas to life.
WE ALL BELONG HERE
We are committed to having a team of Rubettes who represent the communities we are part of, and at the same time we know that we operate in a society that is inequitable.
Each individual person is a constellation of different groups and life experiences. It is our job to attract people who fundamentally believe in, and will contribute meaningfully to, the work that we do, AND to ensure the work environment is one where they thrive, through training, good processes and robust feedback loops.
The dismantling of conscious and unconscious biases is part of our continued work programme, and requires active participation from all team members at all levels. We have, for example, a Salary Matrix which we use to work out what each of our Rubettes are paid. Factors taken into account are the level of responsibility of the role, the nature of the work, the time served at RUBY, and the level of past experience.
YUP, WE'RE A FAMILY BUSINESS
The care and love that comes from being a family-owned and operated brand is woven into our DNA.
