What we're up to at Appear Here

Appear Here is the leading marketplace for short-term space, working with thousands of brands from Apple, Spotify and Kanye West to the next generation of emerging start-ups. Our mission is to create a world where anyone with an idea can find space to make it happen. Named one of Wired Magazine’s ‘100 Hottest StartUps’ and The FT’s most ‘Disruptive Companies,’ Appear Here has become the go-to destination to make innovative and creative retail ideas happen across the UK, New York, and Paris.

You'll be supporting one of our flagship market projects and making it possible for emerging indie brands to tap into business-changing audiences - you might just help to get the next Littlesmith or Press Juice off the ground!

What you’ll be doing

Curation: creatively source and secure the best upcoming retail start-ups for the project, ensuring the right brand mix is achieved.
Project management: assist with on the ground logistics to get the project up and running, and ensure brands are fully up to speed with the project inc. collating all required documentation
Sales: work with a Brand Account Manager to help close transactions on the platform
Support: this is a fast paced business, so you'll need to be flexible and will likely be required to chip in on a variety of additional projects and tasks too.
