Job Description

We make it easy to send files from A to B. We feature brilliant campaigns and showcase great creative talent. We take fun things seriously and we make serious things fun. We are interested in the unusual, the innovative and the great looking. We have been making nerdy tech more human since 2009. WeTransfer.

WeTransfer is a cloud-based file transfer service headquartered in Amsterdam. The product allows customers to send small to extremely large files. WeTransfer users can send up to 2GB in the free version. Users of the WeTransfer Plus service can send up to 20GB at a time and have 100GB of online storage space. The client base ranges from people in creative and legal industries who need to share large digital files to individual users who share photos and videos.

WeTransfer has shown rapid, viral growth over the last 4 years and recently achieved another usage milestone with over 100 million users sending over a billion transfers per month. In addition, with a strong unique user base of 40M unique visitors worldwide every month the company has solid foundations on which to build its ambitious plans.

The company has a resilient business model with revenue coming both from advertising around the user-interface and secondly from the premium subscription service they offer.

In early 2015, Highland Capital invested $25 million in WeTransfer to accelerate growth in the US, Europe and beyond. The company has doubled the number of staff over the last 12 months and now employs around 75 people in Amsterdam and has recently built a new team ( currently 4) in Los Angeles.
