Hours:  Part-Time (up to 30 hours per week) 

Duration:  3-5 months with potential to extend

Company Background:

Shibumi is a rapidly growing outdoor lifestyle brand based in Raleigh, NC. Shibumi was founded in 2016 by two brothers and their best friend, who, assigned to the task of beach setup and takedown during their annual family vacations, were fed up with the beach shade offerings on the market and decided to take matters into their own hands.

The company’s iconic first product, the Shibumi Shade, has garnered a cult-like following and can be seen on beaches around the country - from Emerald Isle to Santa Monica and from Cape Cod to Oahu. The Shibumi Shade works with the wind instead of against it, and stands out for being lightweight, easy to set up and take down, and durable. In 2025, Shibumi launched its Shibumi Beach Chair – and it became an instant best-seller, winning awards from NY Times Wirecutter, Forbes, Dwell, the Daily Mail and others. Shibumi products are sold in both premium local retailers and direct-to-consumer.
