Why Tushop?
If you’ve ever been curious to see the initial days of a company and be part of that story, then this is your chance.

Lastly, you will work with a fun, fast-moving, customer-driven, reliable, and supportive team.

Why not Tushop?
• We experiment a lot. If you like dotting all your i’s and crossing all your t’s before making a move, then you might not enjoy working with us.
• We are low-ego individuals. If you need praise, need to always be right, or need someone else to fail to feel self-worth, this role is not for you.
• We believe that fieldwork makes the dreamwork. We don’t hide behind laptops every day; we instead thrive by engaging with customers, suppliers, partners, and teammates on the streets.
