Do you want to use your passion and talent to make consumption more sustainable?

We are passionate about sustainability and we are the fastest growing marketplace for refurbished products in Europe. We enable our customers to buy electronics such as smartphones, tablets or laptops up to 40% cheaper and in a more sustainable manner and save on average 80% in CO2 by buying refurbished opposed to new devices.

We founded our company in February 2017 and grew to more than 300 employees in the last five years and already expanded from Germany and Austria to Italy, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and further European countries. Along the way we won several awards, completed three large funding rounds and have already sold hundreds of thousands of products. Our team has extensive international experience in the refurbishment industry, how to create a brand and how to scale a marketplace.

We are excited to expand our Supply Leadership team and are looking for a Head of Sales & Account Management. We are seeking an outstanding commercial leader to bring our Sales & Account Management to the next level and ensure we deliver the supply for our ambitious growth targets as a company. In this position, you will be responsible for all the supplier relations (+300 partners) and focused on leading, developing and coaching a team of 10+ ambitious and driven colleagues along the pillars of our Sales & Account Management: New Sales, Business Development, Key Account Management, and Supplier Relations & Support. This position reports to the Director of Supply.

Together with you and your talent, we want to make consumption sustainable and build the leading marketplace for refurbished products in Europe. Join us on our mission! #TalentForFuture
