About WeBuyVintage
WeBuyVintage is one of the UK’s largest buyers of jewellery, antiques and collectibles. We run more roadshows than any other UK company - over 250 valuation events every month - bringing trusted experts face-to-face with customers across the country.
In less than two years, we’ve grown from a pub-table idea into an eight-figure business, and we’re on a mission to make WeBuyVintage a brand everyone recognises.
While our roadshows are perfect for most people, we recognise there are individuals where a more personalised service is needed. Through a growing team of buyers located around England, our Home Visit service provides quick and professional visits to any home. We provide no obligation offers and advice on a wide variety of items with instant bank payment and collection if accepted.
The Role
We’re looking for a hands-on Home Visits Operations Lead to build, run, and scale our home visit service.
This is a high-impact role where you’ll take ownership of how the channel operates day-to-day, while also designing and improving the systems, processes, and structure behind it.
You’ll be responsible for ensuring the service runs smoothly, efficiently, and profitably — from initial booking through to visit completion — while continuously improving performance as we rapidly grow.
This is not a purely managerial role — we’re looking for a creative and strategic thinker who understands the second hand market and is able to work with our other departments to help the service reach its full market potential. You are comfortable getting stuck in, solving problems, and building a function from the ground up.
