About Otrium

Founded and headquartered in Amsterdam, we’re a purpose-led business – we believe all clothing should be worn.

Right now, lots of fashion stays unsold. For the resources that went in and for the people who miss out, it’s such a shame. We’re here to fix this. We are an online fashion outlet marketplace and we tech-enable designer brands to find an owner for every item they produce.

We give brands an online outlet channel and digital tools to smartly connect dynamically-priced end-of-season collections with fashion lovers. Then we give them the data so they can reproduce the most-wanted items.

Our app re-imagines outlet shopping helping customers easily find reduced-price gems. We give end-of-season fashion a new start, which is smarter for the wardrobe, smarter for the wallet and smarter for the industry.

What it’s like to work at Otrium

• You will be part of an enthusiastic and highly ambitious team with a growth and entrepreneurial mindset;
• The possibility to learn, grow, and contribute to one of the fastest-growing startups in Europe, and soon the US (with your help!);
• Freedom and responsibility: we believe in ownership, so we will give you full responsibility to make sure you can get the job done;
• You’ll be working with very talented colleagues - in a different time zone - that know what they are doing as everyone has experience at other amazing fast-growing companies;
• Next to working together, we celebrate our success together. With every target we make and record we break, we celebrate!
