Job Description
About Spin
Spin is a fast-growing micromobility company committed to a world with clean air, liveable cities, safe streets, and widespread access to convenient, affordable transportation. If you’re searching for a top-tier career where you can make a difference and dynamically collaborate within a creative, lively environment—Spin welcomes you!
We’re passionate about transportation and technology. The work we accomplish fulfills a sense of meaning and purpose, which goes beyond the traditional dimensions of a workplace. Our products and initiatives directly influence people’s lives, which is proven by our customers’ feedback.
Founded in 2017, and now a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, we have worked together with cities, campuses, community groups, and businesses to expand internationally. Even as we expand, we maintain the close feeling of a small business, with “fireside chats” chats led by our company’s founders, weekly OKR pop-up videos, music-infused presentations at our All Hands meetings, and more. During this time of working remotely, our creativity and shared goals have kept us united and bonded within our virtual community.
We are a diverse team of artists, engineers, designers, urban planners, policymakers, marketers, and operators. We believe in inclusivity and build powerful alliances to fulfill our goals and move our mission forward. Above all, we at Spin are connected by our values and #BeOrange spirit, which represents unity, purpose, passion, and creativity.
About the Role
The Global Diversity and Inclusion Director will play a pivotal role in helping bring Spin’s core mission to life.

You will provide strategic and day-to-day leadership on all global diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, programs, and practices across Spin. You will be a trusted partner to our Leadership Team, people managers, Employee Networks (ERGs), People Team, and our employees. In this cross-functional role, you will report to our Founder & COO and help ensure that D&I is embedded as a core component of our company strategy and operations.
The preferred location for this role is in San Francisco, but open to considering candidates within the US.
