Product Designer

Description

Weengs is the e-commerce fulfillment game changer.

E-commerce as a market is stacked against small businesses, and for too long large corporates (like Amazon or John Lewis) have had all the scale, all the tools, and all the profits to dominate e-commerce fulfillment. Small independent businesses can get online, use e-commerce platforms, and use online payment system easily enough, but what happens when someone actually buys something? For many of these small businesses, fulfillment is too time consuming, expensive and over complicated - meaning it’s actually a blocker to their growth and success.

This is where Weengs comes in. By bringing large-scale logistics to small businesses, we're empowering them with the right tools & knowledge to scale. And it's working - with over 800% growth in a year - we're changing things fast.

We're ambitious, energetic, capable, and making things happen. Backed by a top European Venture Capital, we're now looking for some genuine A-players to join us on our journey.
