About the Company
Depop is a peer‑to‑peer circular fashion marketplace where anyone can buy, sell and discover second‑hand fashion. Our mission is simple: to make fashion circular by making second‑hand as exciting and rewarding as buying new. Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying second‑hand is no longer an alternative, but how people of different ages now engage with fashion. 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.
We are an equal‑opportunity employer and strive to create an inclusive environment at all levels. We do not discriminate based on age, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy, or any other protected status. We are continuously evolving our recruitment processes to ensure fairness and are open to accommodating any needs you might have.
