Assistant Buyer

**ABOUT US**

Typo exists to make life less serious.

Our community are an eclectic mix of creatives who find joy in the everyday. They are the driving force behind our brand, inspiring us to create products that are anything but ordinary.

Stationery is the cornerstone of our brand, it’s at the core of who we are and it’s where we started. We believe that stationery is more than just pens and paper; it's a form of art that allows individuals to express themselves and connect with others. We've evolved over time, broadening our range to create fun, unexpected and innovative gifts, and lifestyle products that are anything but ordinary.

Typo is in the midst of a bold rebrand - reclaiming its place as a cultural disruptor for all. Once known for its cheeky tone and creative personality, Typo built a loyal following by offering stationery, lifestyle, and gifting products that stood out by design. You will be part of our exciting journey as we upgrade all touchpoints of the Typo brand and help to widen the reach of our brand across the world.
