Careers

Round Retail Co-Founder 


What is Round Retail:


Round Retail is a charitable fashion resale platform focusing on in-person retail experiences with a mission to circulate second-hand fashion ‘for good’. 


We currently run pop-up shops for charities that don't have shops of their own to not only fundraise for them but to give them the opportunity to have a presence within the community they operate that they may not otherwise have. Our approach has been to work locally, focusing on harnessing community and working to improve the unit we find ourselves in. We have a network of commercial partners that want to offer a sustainable model within their developments to activate vacant units and want to work on a long-term basis to meet their ESG goals. 


In the 18 months since launch we have opened the doors of 15 stores, circulated thousands of items of clothing and raised over £15,000 for independent charities. We are ready to take Round Retail to the next level and are looking for someone to co create and lead the future of the brand with the Founder.

We know there is so much opportunity within the markets we operate and are looking for a partner that sees that opportunity and would like to harness it in the most authentic and responsible way possible. 


As well as a physical retail presence we would like to explore further commercial partners, e-commerce opportunities as well as directions we may not have thought of so far.
