About Faire

Faire is a technology wholesale platform built on the belief that the future is local. Independent retailers around the globe collectively represent a multi-hundred-billion-dollar wholesale market that has historically been fragmented and offline. At Faire, we're using the power of tech, data, and machine learning to connect this thriving community of entrepreneurs across the globe. Picture your favorite boutique in town - we help them discover the best products from around the world to sell in their stores.

With the right tools and insights, we believe that we can level the playing field so businesses can grow and local communities can thrive.

We're looking for smart, resourceful and passionate people to join us as we power the shop local movement. If you believe in community, come join ours.

Faire is building an AI-enabled talent organization, hiring the people shaping the future of personalized commerce for retailers and brands around the world. We're looking for a Talent Brand Manager to build our employer value proposition and turn it into one cohesive talent brand strategy across all of our digital surfaces:
Linked In, our careers site, social, Glassdoor, and increasingly, the AI tools candidates now use to research and compare offers. This is a hands-on, builder role. You'll shape Faire's EVP, then build the systems that carry it to our employees, like building AI tools that make it easy for employees to tell their own stories and put our leaders' voices in front of candidates.

You will also develop an AEO strategy that ensures Faire shows up as the clear, authentic answer when candidates ask LLMs to learn more about the company and compare offers. You'll give recruiters that same enablement, arming them with the narrative and objection-handling they need to authentically represent Faire in the market. You'll report to Jenny Talwar, Head of Talent, and be based in San Francisco.
