Job Details

Depop is the community-powered fashion marketplace to buy and sell unique fashion, with over 30 million registered users in more than 150 countries. Depop is a place for anyone to discover and celebrate their style on their own terms, and to feel good about their fashion choices by extending the lives of millions of garments. The company was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in London with offices in Manchester, New York, Los Angeles and Sydney. Depop has approximately 400 employees dedicated to its mission of building the world’s most diverse progressive home of fashion, that’s kinder on the planet and kinder to people. 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.

Our Mission

Our mission is to build the world’s most diverse progressive home of fashion. Our team is dedicated to enhancing and developing the Depop experience to serve the needs of our global community.

Depop exists to empower the next generation to transform fashion. We are a community-powered fashion ecosystem that's kinder to the planet and kinder to people. We give our audience something they can't get anywhere else - unique fashion, with amazing people and the chance to create a better future by showing up as their full selves, at full volume.

We operate on three values:

  1. Circularity - We’re taking the circular economy mainstream. Changing people’s relationship with clothes and making it easy to choose options that are kinder to the planet. 
  2. Self expression - We’re a space for self expression that encourages millions to explore, connect and find their identities through style. 
  3. Opportunity - We’re building a home of fashion where everyone feels welcome and anyone can succeed on their own terms. 

The Role

A newly created role, this is a mid-senior role that will be responsible for statutory and external reporting within the Finance team.

Working alongside our internal Financial Accountant and finance operations team, the successful candidate shall be responsible for planning and producing the necessary group reporting and statutory accounts, whilst also supporting statutory audits for the UK, US and Australian entities. With part of this work already outsourced, we do not expect that the successful candidate will have direct experience in every single aspect of US, UK, AU reporting but we are looking for a proactive and organised individual that will be able to switch between hands-on action and strategic planning with the help of our advisory teams. 

We’re looking for an experienced, practical individual who is prepared to work as part of a team but with the confidence to work autonomously and lead the existing team for this critical area.

  • Assist with technical accounting research and documentation of new policies and procedures. 
  • Assist with establishment, documentation, and maintenance of company accounting policies.
  • Review and, where necessary, assist with the disclosures for the separate subsidiary year-end financial statements.

Requirements:

  • You will be an ambitious, dedicated individual that is excited about the opportunity to develop in a fast-paced global business that is constantly changing.
  • Technically strong accounting skills and confident with financial reporting, with ideally both UK & US GAAP or IFRS exposure.
  • Approximately 6 years PQE ACA/ACCA qualified with experience of working in a similar role within a fast-paced business. 
  • Able to convey in original written correspondence and reports, complex technical matters in a clear and concise manner, adapted to the needs of technical and non-technical clients.
