About the position
Convelio is a licensed freight forwarding startup evolving at the intersection of Tech, Logistics and the Art World. The startup specializes in the global shipping of high-end goods: paintings, sculptures, basically any valuable or bulky merchandise. We've developed our own proprietary algorithm to offer competitive real-time shipping quotes and an end-to-end logistics service to the art market. Our mission is to become a tech-driven company in a traditional industry, and therefore make the shipping of bulky and valuable items as easy as possible by providing an online and seamless experience. We currently serve a wide range of customers from art galleries, antique dealers, auction houses, online platforms to interior designers. With 130+ colleagues scattered across Paris & London and now New York as well, Convelio has a strong start-up & international culture. We thrive in solving complex logistics issues for our clients, enabling both sellers and buyers in the art market. We are backed by proven technology, prominent VC's, and boast a global network and the resources (€30 million Series B funding in March 2022) to seize the market opportunity.
