About The Position

Our lineup of sour and fruit gummies (worms, bears, peach rings, Cherry Bomb, Green Apple Blast, and more) is sold on Amazon, DTC, and at major retailers across the country. Shameless is part of eJam, a bootstrapped consumer products company that has built, scaled, and exited multiple brands without taking a dollar of outside capital.
