WYN republic Community & Events Manager Job Description

Come work with a fun, passionate, dynamic team in the endurance space!

Why WYN? 

WYN republic is a family-owned boutique endurance apparel brand that began in California in 2017. Founded by former professional triathletes and Ironman Champions, Luke and Beth McKenzie, we’re on a mission to combine technical product innovation with clean, stylistic, fashion-forward excellence. 

People who work at WYN believe that the endurance experience transforms lives and movement takes life to its fullest expression. We are passionate about creating experience-driven apparel that puts the athlete first. We want athletes to think about their journey or their finish line without having to stress about what to wear. Athletes trust that we make the fastest and most comfortable apparel on the market. We want to tell the stories of athletes, with our gear as the facilitator. We value equality, creativity, holistic wellness, and the unique circumstances that make each member of our team unique.
