OPPLY - Procurement Executive
About Opply

After becoming one of the fastest growing VC-backed startups in Europe weve now
expanded to the US. Were offering huge opportunities for progression in both the UK and
the US as we continue to grow. Now we need extraordinary minds with a strong growth
mindset who want to join us on our mission!

There are currently 1 million SMB consumer goods brands ordering over $1 trillion of raw
ingredients per year imagine this was all ordered on one platform.

Today these brands all order separately with small teams and volumes resulting in wasted
stock and higher prices. Opply automates the entire ingredient ordering process by:

1. Partnering with the worlds biggest suppliers giving SMBs access to pricing through
our AI matching and forecasting model
2. Providing an AI-driven platform that orders the ingredients when and where you need
them
3. Offering data-led credit that allows brands to sell goods before paying for ingredients
We work with some of the most exciting brands and suppliers in the space and are shaping
innovation in a market thats been underserved for too long. If youre a trailblazer come join
us!
