Head of Business Development US

Employer
Otrium
Location
New York (US)
Closing date
23 Jan 2022

Job Details

Otrium launched in the US in August 2021. We have big plans for scaling the US and making it one of Otrium’s largest markets by the end of 2022!

Given our explosive growth, we’re seeking a Head of New Business Development to lead the commercial growth of our business with fashion Brands. The successful individual will be a strategic thinker, comfortable with proactive problem solving, and eager to operate in a fast-paced, global sales environment.

Our purpose

Otrium is a purpose-led business – we see a future where all clothing is worn.

Every year, billions of items are produced globally but are never sold. Clothing goes unworn and often ends up in landfills. This is a huge waste of creative energy, labor, natural resources and investment. Otrium is changing fashion from the inside out: we are an online fashion outlet marketplace and we tech-enable designer brands to find an owner for every item they produce.

Our global business

Founded in Amsterdam and headquartered in the cloud, Otrium also has hubs in New York and London. As a digital-first company, we work around the globe and don’t need to limit our HQ to one location or a single hub. We want to ensure our O-team can work in a way that best fits their needs, whether that’s remote-first, hub-first, or hybrid (50/50). 

Otrium is also committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse community of employees with a strong sense of belonging. We believe we are bettered by all forms of diversity, and take pride in working with talent from every walk of life and corner of the world. In the spirit of inclusivity, qualified applicants will be considered without regard to age, ethnicity, ability, gender, gender expression, gender identity, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation.

Here’s to freedom, flexibility, and global inclusivity!

Company

We are Otrium, the fashion outlet marketplace with hundreds of designer stores all in one app.

We believe that all clothing produced should be worn. Today, fashion is trapped in a broken cycle. Trends come and go at breakneck speed, creating stress and waste for brands, people, and the planet. Otrium is relieving the pressure of fashion by giving both brands and people their Own Outlet – one where brands can control how they show up and people have the freedom to express themselves.

Through a technology-led approach – where, for the first time, people and the industry trend together – Otrium is giving brands a lasting presence, people a lasting style, and the industry better options.

Founded in Amsterdam, we’re a purpose-led business. Our technology gives brands an online outlet channel and digital tools to smartly connect dynamically-priced end-of-season collections with fashion-lovers. We give brands the data they need to reproduce in-demand items.

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