Company

hirify.global is building a B2B marketplace and AI infrastructure for the global secondhand clothing trade, including hirify.globalSort, which grades, prices, and categorizes items from photos.

What you will do

• Take new category and sourcing-geography bets from market research through first suppliers, first GMV, and feasible-or-not decisions, defining win and kill metrics in advance.
• Travel to suppliers, graders, and rag houses in new markets and build supply relationships through face-to-face engagement.
• Onboard brands, brokers, graders, and wholesalers, then sell new inventory into hirify.global's existing buyer demand through relationship-led channels including WhatsApp and Instagram.
• Track unit economics and the competitive landscape, making evidence-based decisions to scale or stop each bet.
• Develop importer-of-record structures, duties, freight costs, and last-mile operations for new supply flows.
• Use and extend hirify.global's agentic outreach and enrichment engine while learning how secondhand stock is graded, routed, and priced across markets.

Requirements

• Experience building something from zero to one as a founder, early employee, or the person who launched a new line inside an existing company, with the ability to operate without a playbook.
• Combined operator and commercial capability: able to build the operating machine, carry commercial targets, and be measured on GMV within the first quarter.
• Daily fluency with AI agents and automations, with a preference for building workflows instead of repeating manual tasks.
• Understanding of physical goods, inventory, margins, and trading relationships, or experience in fashion, resale, or marketplaces.
• Experience structuring deals that did not exist before being created.
• Exposure to cross-border trade, logistics, or supply chain operations.

Nice to have

• Direct experience in resale, surplus, or secondary-market inventory.
• Experience launching a new market, geography, or product line from scratch.
• Established networks in international sourcing markets.
