Director, Accounting & Financial Reporting

About Rebox

Founded in 1990, Rebox is North America's largest distributor of once-used boxes, with 35+ distribution centres across the United States and Canada. We serve over 2,000 businesses, including some of the continent's largest retailers and manufacturers. We offer custom reuse programs to retailers, manufacturers, recyclers, distributors, and packers, helping them find high-quality boxes for less or build smarter systems for managing the ones leaving their facilities. Visit www.reboxcorp.com to learn more.

Why It Matters

Every time we help a business reuse one ton of boxes instead of recycling or throwing them away, we save 17 trees. Fewer boxes manufactured means fewer trees cut, less water used, and less CO2 from production and recycling. (Per our study with Duke University.)

Who Thrives Here

People who excel at Rebox bring an entrepreneurial spirit and genuine curiosity to their work, and aren't afraid to roll up their sleeves to get things done. We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences — diverse perspectives make our team and our work stronger.
