Polaroid
Senior Accounting Manager Job at Polaroid in New York
Polaroid, New York, New York, United States,
About us: Iconic brand, tiny company.Polaroid was founded in 1937 by one of the most seminal innovators of the 20th century, Edwin Land. His motto was, "don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible." In 2008, Polaroid shuttered its last factory, but a group of diehard fans came together as The Impossible Project to save instant film. Over 10 years later that start-up acquired what was left of Polaroid and today we're again a small group of people passionate about empowering creators to change the world in the name of Polaroid.
