An exciting opportunity to be at the center of reMarkable’s continued success story

reMarkable is a Norwegian tech company on a mission to help people think better in a distracted world. We recently confirmed our status as Norway’s latest unicorn, with 400 employees in Oslo and a million devices sold worldwide. In what feels like no time, we've gone from a small startup finding its way to being one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe.

Following the successful launch of reMarkable 2, which was named one of TIME's top 100 inventions of 2020, we've set ourselves exciting growth and product development goals for 2023. To help us get there, we need new colleagues ready to make a real difference through their work – and that’s where you come in.

reMarkable has to date been selling primarily through remarkable.com, but has since 2020 been piloting physical retail and sales through partners. Now we are ready to take a leap, targeting to grow indirect sales into a key sales channel for the company. The work on setting up the supply chain and partners to handle goods and services to retailers has started. Several new partners are being onboarded and we are now looking for a Sourcing and Partner manager to handle sourcing and supplier management towards these and future partners.

Becoming a part of our Sourcing and Partner management team in Indirect Sales puts you right in the core of reMarkable and gives you an unique opportunity to add value and develop yourself. You will be instrumental for the success of our growth ambition at the same time as you support and enable our Sales and Operations teams to achieve their objectives together with our partners.
