About the Company

KIND is more than just a brand of whole nut and fruit bars made from ingredients you can see and pronounce(r)--it is also a movement and way of being. At KIND, we aim to make the world a bit kinder through all that we do and how we do it--from the products we create to the way we work, live and give back. And that may be why nutritionists, foodies and social leaders alike all agree that KIND is the best snack around! We're looking for passionate, conscious collaborators to help us meet our goals: to inspire kindness, with one tasty snack (and good act) at a time.
