About Faire
Faire is a technology wholesale platform built on the belief that the future is local. Independent retailers around the globe collectively represent a multi-hundred-billion-dollar wholesale market that has historically been fragmented and offline. At Faire, we're using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe. Picture your favorite boutique in town - we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores. With the right tools and insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so businesses can grow and local communities can thrive.
We’re looking for smart, resourceful and passionate people to join us as we power the shop local movement. If you believe in community, come join ours.
The Core Strategy team reports directly to our CEO and is tasked with solving some of Faire’s most urgent and challenging problems. This can range from driving investment decisions on major expansion opportunities to directly owning pilot execution on high potential new bets. We operate at a wide range of altitudes and across all areas of the business.
You will be joining a small team with a high degree of autonomy and responsibility. The work will vary project-to-project, but the throughline is that you will be taking ambiguous, complex problems, creating clarity, and then driving to impact. In many cases that will mean you are directly owning outcomes for high priority pilots or other initiatives. As an example, our team drove the decision to launch Faire Source and then played a central role in building the program from the ground up alongside a small cross-functional team.
This role combines strategic thinking, analytical rigor, product judgment, external & internal relationship-building, and the operational chops to get things done. We are looking for someone who is equally at home unpacking ambiguous board-level strategy questions as they are running a scrappy pilot. No matter the project, success in this role will always look like creating clarity and then seeing that clarity through to real-world impact.
