Carpe, the Durham, NC based personal care brand tackling unwanted sweat all over the body, is looking for a Senior Video Editor.

Started in 2015 by founders Kasper Kubica and David Spratte, Carpe began by addressing the lack of an effective and accessible solution for sweaty hands. On finding their customers were dealing with sweat everywhere, the company expanded its offering to a line of total body sweat management products to help people manage sweat anytime, anywhere.

Carpe has helped over 1 million people get dry!
