We help millions of people create homes they love
In the beginning, in 2016, we were just two best friends working on a simple idea: how to make it super easy to turn your favorite smartphone photos into awesome wall art.
Today, we have multiple product lines with millions of customers, including Mixtiles, Mixtiles Art, Easyplant, and Around. And we're shipping new products every year.
We love what we do, and we love people who love what they do. If you're that kind of person, read on.

Meet Easyplant - who we are?
As part of our mission to make home design frictionless, we understood that plants are the worst home design product that dies constantly. We knew this was an engineering issue, and we forged our focus toward a mission to prevent plants from dying. Hence, we invested 2 years and developed a self-watering system that prevents plants from dying.
What you're applying for
Easyplant launched just a couple of years ago and is already one of the fastest-growing e-commerce companies and the leading direct-to-consumer (D2C) plant company in the US, with hundreds of thousands of plants sold.
We’ve now decided to start with our physical retail journey, as we believe being available both online and physically is crucial for our growth and success. We strive to create the best omnichannel experience, and plan on launching multiple stores in 2024, and hopefully scale significantly from 2025 onwards.
We are looking for a Head of Retail to lead our retail expansion in the US. We need a retail expert with a strategic and analytical mindset to scale operations effectively.
