About Preloved
Preloved is a Finnish-inspired resale marketplace where sellers rent weekly booths to showcase their curated secondhand items. Think boutique thrift — clean, rotating, and community-driven.
We provide the location, marketing, customer traffic, and selling platform. Our sellers bring incredible inventory. Together, we create an experience that helps people earn money, find great items, and keep quality products in circulation.
As we continue expanding, we're looking for leaders who want more than a traditional retail management job.
The Role - This is NOT a Typical Store Manager Position
This role is for someone who wants to run a business.
You'll be responsible for the day-to-day success of the store, including revenue growth, seller success, team leadership, customer experience, booth occupancy, operational excellence, and profitability.
You'll have significant autonomy, real responsibility, and measurable performance goals. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, solves problems, drives growth, and treats the store like it is their own.
If you're looking for a job where someone tells you what to do every hour of the day, this is probably not the right fit.
If you're excited by the opportunity to build something, grow a business, lead people, and be rewarded for performance, we'd love to meet you.
