HR, IT, Sales, Finance, Operations and Marketing Jobs at Fender

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) is a privately held musical instruments manufacturing and technology company founded in 1946 by Leo Fender in Fullerton, California, currently in the process of relocating its headquarters to Phoenix, Arizona in 2025, having previously been based in Scottsdale, Arizona for several decades. The company designs, manufactures, markets, and distributes electric and acoustic guitars, bass guitars, amplifiers, and audio accessories, with its portfolio of owned brands including Fender, Squier, Gretsch Guitars, Jackson, EVH, Charvel, and PreSonus -- the latter a digital audio workstation and scorewriter subsidiary acquired in 2021. Fender operates internationally with registered subsidiary entities across the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Mexico, Japan, Hong Kong, and Canada, with manufacturing facilities located in Corona, California, and Ensenada, Mexico. The company appointed Edward "Bud" Cole as Chief Executive Officer in February 2026, succeeding Andy Mooney, and is majority owned by Servco Pacific following the acquisition of TPG Growth's stake in 2020. Headcount figures vary notably across sources -- PitchBook places the figure at approximately 4,200 employees, LeadIQ at approximately 2,100 as of October 2025, and ZoomInfo at a range of 1,000 to 5,000 -- and should be treated as approximate. The company's largest hiring areas span Manufacturing and Production, Engineering and Technology (including digital product development through Fender Play and PreSonus), alongside active departments in Product Design, Sales and Distribution, Marketing, Customer Service, Finance, Legal, and People & HR.
