Do you thrive in the outdoors, love great gear, and enjoy helping others gear up for their next adventure? Are you ready to be part of something real, rugged, and growing right here in the heart of the White Mountains?
Ragged Mountain Equipment is truly a local legend (but don't take our word for it). For over 40 years, we’ve been handcrafting and curating top-quality outdoor clothing and gear for people who live to be outside. Our Intervale, NH shop is where trail talk happens, where used gear gets a second life, and where the community comes for expert advice and friendly faces. We’re known far and wide for a reason, and we’re growing into something even better.
Now’s your chance to join our crew.

- You’ve got a passion for the outdoors, you dream about hiking, skiing, climbing, or trail running. We don’t care what your sport is, as long as you’re fired up to share it.
- Previous retail or customer service experience is a big plus, but attitude matters more than a résumé.
- You’re approachable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy helping people.

- You’re resourceful, organized, and unafraid to get your hands dirty
- Bonus points for experience with sustainable fabrics, performance materials, CAD systems, and domestic manufacturing
Why Work at Ragged:
- Join a close-knit, passionate team of outdoor lovers, craftspeople, and mountain locals
