Job DescriptionSalary: Starting at $95,000 + incentives + rewards, paid weekly Our History: The Storyteller Overland vibe started out as a drawing on a restaurant napkin in 2017 illustrating a desire to help people live more adventurous lives. Back then, very few had ever heard of an adventure van, and some at the restaurant table with CEO Jeffrey Hunter had doubts it would ever sell. The company officially launched in 2018 with a humble yet confident team of seven employees. Over the next year, we worked on launching our MODE 4x4 and finding dealer partners to work with, and finally, the dream was turning into a reality. Weve been fortunate to be full speed ahead since then. Weve added sister companies to our galaxy and built out quite the impressive team hopefully you included. We hit 500 vans built, then 1,000, then so many more that these milestones became difficult to keep track of. Weve added new vehicles to our lineup and have built a massive community of like-minded adventurers that also continues to grow. As we reflect on our history, though, we remind ourselves that our best ideas are still ahead of us, not behind us. Heres to saying yes to the next grand adventure!
