Values that help our merchants win.
Our values define how we operate, make decisions, and win together. Every member of Phoenix lives them daily.
All In to Win
We operate with urgency, intensity, and a relentless bar for excellence. The mission comes before ego, comfort, or recognition. We adapt under pressure and do whatever it takes for the team to succeed. We are ready to sacrifice individually in order to win as a team.
Entrepreneurial Spirit
We move like a Day One company: fast, scrappy, and hungry to win. Everyone thinks and acts like an owner, taking full accountability. We dream big, execute boldly, and never settle.
A-Players Only
We only hire, develop, and keep A players; people who raise the bar, solve problems proactively, and make the company better every day. B players, even if they are “good enough,” create drag, lower standards, and slow us down.
Merchant First
Our merchants are the reason we exist, and they always come first. We listen closely, treat them with respect, and build for their long-term success. Every decision is measured by its impact on merchants.
Engaged Intelligence
We seek to deeply understand what we’re building and why it matters. We debate and dissent with respect to find the best answers, then commit fully. Curiosity, preparation, and clear communication are the standard.
