Quality Assurance Lead
Inboxlab, a fast-growing digital publisher, is expanding!
We build brands that deliver educational and entertaining experiences directly from the inbox—expanding perspectives through the wonder of learning.
Founded in 2017, we're profitable, VC-free, and have amassed 17 million subscribers across brands in the travel and gamified education verticals–with a pipeline of new brands to be launched.
As a team of 50+, we’re insatiably curious, infectiously optimistic, radically connected and intentionally intrepid. (If that resonates with you, we should talk!)
