Job Description

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.

Founded in 2011, Depop’s diverse community has helped move resale into the mainstream, where buying secondhand 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 aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, no matter who they are or where they’re from. Just as our platform connects people globally, we believe our workplace should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We thrive on the power of different perspectives and experiences, knowing they drive innovation and bring us closer to our users.

We’re proud to be an equal opportunity employer, providing employment opportunities without regard to age, ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, disability, pregnancy or maternity, marriage and civil partnership, or any other protected status. We’re continuously evolving our recruitment processes to ensure fairness and are open to accommodating any needs you might have.

The Role

We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Workplace Partner to own the day-to-day running of our Brooklyn office and deliver an exceptional workplace experience for our US team.

This is a rare combination of operational ownership and strategic project delivery. Alongside running Brooklyn day to day, you'll play a central role in our US office relocation - partnering with Workplace, People, Finance, Legal, IT and external vendors to deliver a successful office search, fit-out and move.

You'll be the face of Workplace in the US. Your manager is based in London, and you'll be the sole Workplace presence on the ground in New York - so this role suits someone who thrives on autonomy, makes confident decisions without waiting to be asked, and knows when to pull someone in. You'll work closely with our London HQ team to keep the employee experience joined up globally, while having real freedom to shape and create an environment where teams can do their best work.

Workplace Operations & Employee Experience:

• Own the day-to-day running of Depop’s Brooklyn office, ensuring a safe, welcoming, and high-performing environment.
• Act as the primary point of contact for employees, , new joiners, visitors, vendors, building management, and service providers.

• Lead internal change management and office-wide communications to guide employees smoothly through the relocation transition.
• Manage post-move snagging so the new space is fully operational on day one
• Track project progress and provide regular updates to management.

Vendor & Stakeholder Management:

• Build strong relationships with landlords, real estate partners, facilities vendors, and general contractors.
• Lead the RFP (Request for Proposal) and commercial negotiations for the relocation — sourcing the market, evaluating bids and presenting a recommended shortlist to the Workplace Manager for approval.
• Onboard new suppliers and manage vendor performance, agreeing clear Service Level Agreements and overseeing contract renewals.

• Experience in fast-paced technology, marketplace or scale-up environments.
