Our end-to-end technology and logistics solution also enables D2C fulfillment for brand-owned e-commerce sites, improving customer experience while reducing operational costs.
Following recent expansion into the US and EU—launching with Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, and Zalando—we are now seeking a Digital Merchandiser with a focus on trading to support our continued global growth. Our founders bring extensive experience in scaling brands internationally, supported by long-standing industry relationships, strong financial backing, advanced technology, and deep in-house expertise.
Role Overview
We are looking for a highly organized, commercially focused Digital Trader or Merchandiser to drive growth for our brand and marketplace partners globally. In this leadership role, you will own key relationships, provide clear performance insight, identify opportunities, and shape trading strategies to maximize long-term success. Candidates must be numerically strong, passionate about trading, and confident working with diverse global partners.
