Company Description
Depop is a peer-to-peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover secondhand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making secondhand as exciting and rewarding as buying new.

Today, more than 56 million registered users come to Depop to find great value, express their own personal style and give clothes a longer life. We believe that everything you want already exists, and our role is to help people discover it.
Powered by a team of over 500 people, our company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York. 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.

Scope and effectively prioritise new features to ensure the right balance between effort and impact.
Have a point of view on what seller features and tools belong on web vs. app, based on the type of sellers who use it, the types of problems we are solving, and the inherent strengths of web-based vs. app-based experiences.
Product Execution:
Work with squad leadership to ensure solutions are simple, intuitive, and web-optimised - ensuring break-points, mobile web, responsiveness are considered when building web experiences and features.
Working with the engineering team to ensure features are built to specifications, championing quality and product excellence.

Great leadership and sense of ownership. You own the web sellers experience, and make decisions that steer the team and the product in the right direction, against our overall company and sellers strategy.
Excellent communication skills and executive presence.
Extremely collaborative. Inventory is at the core of our company differentiation - you will need to build relationships with senior stakeholders across product, strategy and operations, and engineering.
