What is CornerUp?

CornerUp is a fast growing, venture backed, NYC-based marketplace startup providing corner stores and other small food retailers a one-stop-shop platform for discovering and purchasing inventory for their stores.

CornerUp’s mission is to enable these small businesses to compete with today’s large retailers by transforming the way in which they operate through technology and modernization, empowering independent retailers to do their best work and better serve their neighborhood communities.

Headquartered in NYC and backed by some of the world’s leading investors, CornerUp is more than a startup — we are a team focused on supporting our community through our small businesses.

You’ll own the catalog assortment, costing, pricing, and analytics, and adjust our assortment according to performance with our customer base.

Design Processes: map out and implement playbooks and procedures for key operational functions that will scale as we grow (ie. supplier onboarding, integrations, category improvements, and supplier operations)

Collaborate with Finance and Sales to measure total company costs, analyze competitor pricing, and develop sound pricing strategies to increase margins

Who are we looking for?

1-3 years experience of relevant business experience (e.g., early-stage startup, high-growth tech company, management consulting, investment banking)

Strong relationship building and verbal and written communication skills

Solid product pricing, costing, P&L, and analytical skills required.
