Retail District Manager

Portland Leather Goods, beloved by a fun and crazy online community, is set to WOW our customers with an exciting expansion into brick-and-mortar retail!

Who we are:

At Portland Leather Goods, every employee will tell you their absolute favorite thing about working here is the PEOPLE. We care about the character and kindness of the people we hire, in addition to their specialized skills and experience. Portland Leather Goods was established in early 2016 by our founder, Curtis Matsko. Before we existed, you couldn’t find a simply designed, affordable bag made from high quality, full-grain leather. We source our leather from the beef industry, giving materials that would otherwise go to waste a second life. We’re proud to make leather products with classic appeal at a price everyone can feel good about!
