Vendor Manager (12 month Fixed Term Contract)

Depop is a peer‑to‑peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new. Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying secondhand is no longer an alternative but how people of different ages now engage with fashion. Today, more than 56 million registered users come to Depop to find great value, express their own personal style and give clothes a longer life. Powered by a team of over 500 people, our company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York. In 2021, Depop became a wholly‑owned subsidiary of Etsy – the global marketplace for unique and creative goods – and continues to operate as a standalone company.
