Founded in 2017, refurbed is Europe’s fastest-growing marketplace for refurbished products, active in 23 European countries and having surpassed €2Bn in GMV — all while being profitable. With beautiful headquarters in Vienna, we operate as a remote-first company and have been recognised as a Top DACH Employer by Kununu for four consecutive years.
Our mission is to make sustainable consumption the easy choice by enabling customers to buy products up to 40% cheaper while significantly reducing CO₂ emissions.
If you thrive in an environment that values momentum, ownership, and impact, you’ll feel at home here. We’re a fast-paced, high-performance team that works hard and challenges itself everyday. To enable this high-performance every team member enjoys full autonomy over their location (we’re remote-first).
We’re looking for a Category Manager to help us scale our newest categories - Home & Garden, Sports, and Kids - and unlock even more opportunities for customers across Europe to buy refurbished products. You’ll own the growth strategy, leverage data to identify the biggest opportunities across supply, demand, and the on-site experience, and ensure we consistently deliver a competitive and attractive offering to customers.
You’ll report to the Category Management Team Lead and work closely with the Head of New Categories.
