At Wallapop we are on a quest to help people with collaborative economy, and to make the world more sustainable by extending the life of products.

Wallapop was founded in 2013. We are the marketplace for second-hand goods in Spain. With more than 8 million searches per day and over 15 million users across Spain with a catalogue of several hundreds of millions of products, we exist to empower people to promote a more conscious and human way of consumption. We achieve this by bringing together the scale and simplicity of classifieds with the convenience and the reach of marketplace to create the world’s best unique goods trading platform.

Wallapop takes pride in having an open culture, where every opinion matters and everybody contributes in many different ways; through different internal cross-functional clubs aligning with people’s passions and interests.

We count 26 nationalities within our employee base and we operate in 2 languages: Spanish and English - this makes us pretty fun and special. While in most cases we are not attached to one language or the other, we encourage talent to embrace both languages and be able to operate outside their comfort zone. To ensure success we facilitate group and individual Spanish and English classes as part of our working day.

Our company Values are:

We are One Team: Communicative, trusting and inclusive

We Dream & Deliver: Creative, impactful, pragmatic

We Aim for Simplicity: Intentional, uncomplicated, humble

We Learn & Grow: Constructive feedback, empowerment and curiosity

We organize ourselves into topic teams and embrace agile practices.
