OPPLY - Customer Operations Manager

About Opply

After becoming one of the fastest growing VC-backed startups in Europe, we've now

expanded to the US. We’re offering huge opportunities for progression in both the UK and

the US as we continue to grow. Now we need extraordinary minds with a strong growth

mindset who want to join us on our mission!

There are currently 1 million SMB consumer goods brands ordering over $1 trillion of raw

ingredients per year – imagine this was all ordered on one platform.

Today, these brands all order separately with small teams and volumes, resulting in wasted stock and higher prices. Opply automates the entire ingredient ordering process by:

1. Partnering with the world’s biggest suppliers, giving SMBs access to pricing through

our AI matching and forecasting model

2. Providing an AI-driven platform that orders the ingredients when and where you need

them

3. Offering data-led credit that allows brands to sell goods before paying for ingredients

We work with some of the most exciting brands and suppliers in the space and are shaping

innovation in a market that’s been underserved for too long. If you’re a trailblazer, come join

us!
