Buyer

We’re Getir, the pioneers of super-fast delivery. Our story can be divided into three elements: building an awesome people organization that drives this epic machine, making 10-minute grocery delivery possible by figuring out all of its intricacies, and scaling that business by getting people to embrace us.

The story of Getir dates back six years, when it first launched in Istanbul. After becoming the clear-cut market leader in our first market, we decided that other cities also deserved 10-minute delivery, bringing us to the great and diverse city of London.

Close your eyes and imagine sandwiches, shampoo, snacks, and paper towels delivered in an average of 10 minutes throughout the streets of London. Each product in each delivery creates a unique micro-experience. How we choose these micro-experiences, and how we adapt that to our business model, is an integral part of Getir. At Getir, it is not just our users, but also our employees, our team members, who have unique and challenging experiences that bring out the best of themselves.

To support our UK expansion through 2022, we are looking for two new Buyers to join our Commercial team in central London.
