Reward & HRis Lead

**About us**

Ankorstore was founded in 2019 to build a platform that enables independent shops and brands to connect and thrive. As a result, we became a wholesale marketplace that provides the tools these entrepreneurs need to compete against e-commerce giants.

We support businesses and local economies, not corporations, employing communities of creative people who value craftsmanship over mass production and mass-market deals.

Only two years after our successful launch, we gathered 200,000 retailers and 15,000 brands across Europe and reached unicorn status with a valuation of €1.75 billion.

In less than three years, we grew to a company of +650 employees of +45 nationalities and eight offices across seven countries.

Join us if you are excited to support our vision of rewilding independent retail
