Our vision at LoveCrafts is to create an entirely new platform for the global maker community — one craft at a time. We launched our first site five years ago — early success led to funding from one of Europe’s leading venture investors — and we haven’t looked back since. With a global customer base, physical hubs in the UK, USA, and UKR; and 3 x growth year on year, we’ve grown from startup to sensation in a very short space of time.
As we set out to converge traditional crafts with the digital age we are looking for exceptional talent to help us disrupt and innovate in this highly dynamic sector. We’re playing with the very best in web, mobile, social, commerce and media technology as we create the perfect digital business for all things craft related.
Our team is smart, kind and slightly kooky with talent that is insatiably curious and supremely ambitious. We hire and nurture inquisitive, creative minds looking to flourish in a supportive and collaborative environment that includes social and e-commerce stalwarts hailing from the likes of Yahoo!, Amazon, eBay and Rocket Internet.
