About Opply After becoming one of the fastest growing VC-backed startups in Europe, we've now expanded to the US, and looking to offer huge opportunities for progression in our early team here - Now we need extraordinary minds with a strong ownership mindset who want to join us on our mission!

There are currently 1 million SMB consumer goods brands ordering over $1Trillion of raw ingredients per year - imagine this was all ordered on one platform. These brands all order separately today, and have small teams/order volumes which results in them wasting 70% stock, and getting ingredients at a 40% higher price than market rate. Opply automates the entire ingredient ordering process through: 1) Partnering with the world's biggest suppliers, giving SMB's access to their pricing through an AI matching and forecasting proprietary model 2) AI self learning platform that orders the ingredients when and where you need them 3) Data-led credit that allows brands to sell their goods before they pay for the ingredients

We work with a lot of the most exciting brands and suppliers in this space, and are shaping innovation in a world that didn't have this before, if you're a trailblazer, come join us!

Who We Are We're VC-backed by some of the world's top investors like Index, Anthemis and Chalfen Ventures, and unicorn angels from GoCardless, Flow.io and Trouva, and have won StartUp of the Year for Technology Services and Supply Chain Specialists of the Year at the Startup and Global Corporate LiveWire awards - achievements we’re super proud of!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
