Job Description:

Who We AreFrida is more than a brand built to support parents. We get parents. We know all about the often unbelievable realities of parenthood, because we've been in the trenches.

Since the launch of our cult-favorite NoseFrida, The SnotSucker, we've innovated and launched over 100 products that provide quick and easy solutions to age-old parenting problems. We also launched Frida Mom in 2019, with products to help women with the transition through the fourth trimester into motherhood.
