Buyer, Women's Apparel

This is a hybrid role, reporting to our office three days per week.

We are a dynamic and innovative venture-backed company at the intersection of fashion, technology, and customer experience. Via Via Corporation is home to BNTO (), an AI-powered “omni-retail” subscription platform that personalizes your fashion experience with an innovative approach to new purchases, rentals, and resales. Powered by our proprietary full-stack vertical AI solution ALMA.ai, BNTO redefines fashion with innovative technology. We are a Series A company in the fashion tech space, backed by industry-leading investors such as Notable Capital, Basis Set Ventures, NEA, the AI Fund, and Exor.
