WHERE WE’RE HIRING The most pervasive assaults on our community’s rights are happening on the East Coast and in the South.

Mixte is committed to building teams where people of all identities and backgrounds are welcome, included and respected (see our employee video ).

We support every employee through professional development courses mapped to a customized 23-step proprietary program at Mixte.
