Papier is a VC-backed consumer stationery brand that sells online and ships direct to customers. Papier launched over in the UK in 2015 and has been growing rapidly in the US since launching here in 2018, putting the US on course to become our largest market.

Growth has been fueled by over ~$15m of venture funding to date and we are on the verge of securing Series C to help accelerate this still further.

Alongside in-house collections, Papier collaborates with upcoming artists, iconic brands and exciting fashion labels to curate its emporium of notebooks, notecards, diaries, and journals. Our mission is to invite people to uncover the possibility of a blank page. We recently placed 8th on LinkedIn’s Top 15 UK Startups, and we are now seeking to support and strengthen our progress by building a team on the ground alongside our existing US partnerships. This role is paying $21 per hour.
