We are looking for a capable Buyer to join our team, working on-site from our San Francisco office. In this role you will be a key member of our Merchandising function, contributing directly to our goals and working closely with talented colleagues across the business.

Over time, you will have the opportunity to deepen your expertise, take on broader scope and grow your career with us as the company continues to scale.
In return, we offer a supportive, inclusive and collaborative environment, competitive pay, meaningful benefits and the chance to do work that genuinely matters. We care about our people, invest in their growth and want everyone here to be able to do the best work of their careers.
