Want to grow reMarkable worldwide through Retail?
reMarkable is a Norwegian tech company on a mission to help people think better in a distracted world. We are Norway’s latest unicorn, with over 350 employees in Oslo and more than 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 our second-generation paper tablet, which was named as one of TIME's 100 Best Innovations of 2020, we've set ourselves exciting growth goals for 2023 and beyond. 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.
We are now looking for a Senior Retail Manager who will play an important role in bringing our products to an even wider audience, as we embark on a unique challenge to scale our business globally. Are you ready to join the journey of Norway's most innovative growth company?

You will benefit from being supported by a driven organization with large ambitions, and will be expected to collaborate with ambitious cross-functional teams on a daily basis in order to reach our goals.
