Join us in transforming the world's supply chain!The fashion industry generates over 100 billion garments annually, yet 60% of these end up in landfills. This isn't due to a lack of demand; rather, it's because the journey of secondhand fashion from donation to resale is outdated and inefficient, relying heavily on offline and manual processes.At Fleek, we're on a mission to revolutionize this process. Our vision is to make secondhand fashion the preferred choice. We're creating the infrastructure that will power the global secondhand clothing market through an innovative B2B marketplace and cutting-edge AI systems that digitize the supply chain.Through Fleek, vintage stores, online resellers, and retail buyers can directly source expertly graded secondhand inventory from wholesalers and rag houses across multiple countries. Our key innovation, FleekSort, is an AI model specifically designed for secondhand fashion, capable of grading, pricing, and categorizing items based solely on images, thereby transforming a historically opaque and manual trade into a structured, searchable, and tradable global inventory.Since our inception in 2022, we've successfully saved 9 million items from being discarded and have experienced a threefold growth year-on-year. We've raised approximately $50 million from leading investors such as a16z, Y Combinator, Burda Principal Investments, and HV Capital, and have recently completed our Series B funding. Our advisors include industry veterans from Depop, Shopify, and Postmates.Currently, we serve thousands of resellers and retailers across the UK, Europe, and the US. With the secondhand fashion market projected to exceed $350 billion by 2027, Fleek is paving the way with an AI-driven operational and financial backbone for secondhand commerce globally.We are seeking individuals who are eager to make a significant impact and thrive in a fast-paced environment. If this resonates with you, we encourage you to continue reading.About the RoleAt Fleek, our People function is integral to our growth strategy. The companies that will thrive in the coming decade will be those that excel in building, nurturing, and retaining exceptional teams in a landscape where every employee is empowered by AI, where one individual can accomplish what once required five, and where the dynamics between a company and its workforce are being fundamentally transformed.We believe the traditional approaches to compensation, performance management, work methods, and career development are outdated.
