Do you love being at the forefront of change? Then join the team!

United Repair Centre is growing, so we are looking for an enthusiastic Junior Partnership Manager to support us!

Who we are & What we do

United Repair Centre is a repair business for fashion brands to put repair on the map while creating social and environmental impact collectively. The United Repair Centre has outdoor brand Patagonia as its founding partner, providing integrated clothing repair and resale solutions for fashion, apparel and workwear brands that want to create positive environmental impact and local employment opportunities for people with a distance to the labor market at the same time. Brands we work with are, amongst others, Lululemon, Peak Performance, CP Company, Rapha and The North Face.

We strive to make it easy for leading apparel brands in Europe to achieve their circularity goals. We do so by offering high-quality repair services and buy back previously loved clothing, and re-sell them to a new owner.

At the same time, we create a positive social impact by providing training and employment opportunities to newcomers with refugee backgrounds, young adults and other people who face difficulties in accessing the labor market. We demonstrate that it is possible to change the clothing industry by putting people first while creating value with textiles that otherwise would be wasted.
