About the Company

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). For our Listing department, we are looking for a Taxonomy/Catalogue Expert who will own the structure, quality, and scalability of refurbed's product catalogue - the category tree, attributes, and data models that search, filters, listings, pricing (SRP), and compliance are all built on.
