Company Info

This opportunity is part of the Planet Expat Work Abroad Program, which aims to maximize your chances of joining one of the most innovative companies in Europe and Latin America. Here is more information about the hiring company:


"We are a fast-growing e-commerce platform that focuses on serving unsatisfied niches by offering products that are not commercialized in Chile. Our company was founded in December 2013 by two former Groupon employees, a serial entrepreneur and former banker. Our web portal allows users to buy thousands of products from major online stores worldwide, in local currency. It also provides quality content, experiences and great customer service to convert the purchasing act into a much more human experience.

We have developed a methodology to scale both sides of the equation (demand and supply). We integrate suppliers into our system so we can sell their products on multiple channels. We have had great traction from day 1 and experience significant growth rates. Over the course of our first 2.5 years of activity, we have closed over 5,000 sales, generating USD 700,000 in revenues. We have signed a seller and back office contract with MercadoLibre, the largest e-commerce player in Latin America. We have been validated as operators to sell both local brands (such as Chevrolet) and international brands (such as Neewer)."
