Our Background & Your Main Purpose Shirt in a Box is primarily an online retailer of mystery sports jerseys, based in Belfast, UK.
Shirt in a Box sources jerseys from various manufacturers and clubs worldwide, then sells them to customers in the UK, Ireland, and the USA through mystery boxes on its online store.
Founded in 2021, Shirt in a Box has grown to a team of four full-time staff and recorded revenues of £6 million to date.
Following a record-breaking 2022, thanks to the World Cup, the past 12 months have been a period of alignment for the brand.
They've expanded their product range into different sports and internalised all departments.
This means they no longer outsource any part of the business, building a team that handles all customer service, fulfilment, and marketing internally.
The team is young and close-knit, with a "can-do" attitude.
Maximum effort and hard work are the baseline – like any great sporting team.
Think the USA Dream Team or Pep's Barcelona.
This is a role for someone who relishes a challenge, not one who shies away from it.
Moreover, setting aside ego and being able to support various parts of the business when needed is essential.
They are keen to diversify perspectives, so football knowledge is not a requirement for this role.
With plans to further their upward trajectory, they are focused on hiring a Creative Strategist.
