SENIOR BUSINESS ANALYST
About us 🙂
During the 10 years of our existence we grew up to 900 million CZK in revenue and expanded to the majority of European countries. We’re a member of adidas Consortium, we dispose of limited editions of sneakers, which you won’t find in any other sneaker store in the Czech Republic and some of them even in the whole central Europe. We are still growing and expanding. At the same time, we are very proud of our flagship store where all of our events take place – parties, theatre, dance classes, or our private cinema nights. We collaborate with TOP influencers.
We are young and enthusiastic about our jobs. In our crew we have a lot of fun but we still know what it means to work hard. New creative ideas are welcome and we do not fear changes, because change means development. And we don’t mean only the development of the company, but also self-development of every one of us. Flexibility is our friend. So don’t expect complicated processing internal systems or a rigid firm structure.
