Bookbot is a re-commerce platform where over 10 million books have already changed hands. Every day, we send around 25,000 books to new homes and gain thousands of new customers — figures we plan to double within the next year. We're the 15th fastest-growing tech startup in the CEE region. We aim to make the second-hand book market new European standard. €4 million from our latest funding round will help us on this journey.
Bookbot gives books a second life - we source pre-owned books from suppliers and carefully decide which titles are added to our website. Open this link to learn more about how we source our books. You will be responsible for the whole approval process - leading two teams of part-timers who evaluate supplier photos and make the final decisions which books we want.
This is a great opportunity to build something from scratch, shape the process, and directly influence how we assess thousands of books every week!

- Building and managing a brand-new team of 20 part-timers (Czech + German books).
