Workplace and culture
Hey there! 👋 We’re GOLD AVENUE, and we’re here to shake up the world of precious metal investment. If you think gold is just an old and dusty metal, well, our goal is to prove you wrong.
Do most precious metals online resellers you know have a 1990’s looking website, a long list of hard-to-understand products, somewhat cheap and obscure prices, and no solution to store or resell your gold? Well, we have the opposite:
- A UX-friendly website: making it as simple as buying socks (are socks easy to buy?)
- a brand new mobile app: putting gold investment at your fingertips
- Clean and crisp design: we like it easy on the eye
- Transparent and simple pricing: because we hate complexity, don’t you?
- The best all-in-one solution on the market: or should we say… in Europe?
- A multilingual and expert customer service: did we say we like to make things simple?
- Enjoyable educational content: helping you understand what makes gold tick
That’s because we’re on a mission to do things different, and make gold investment accessible to everyone.
Why you’ll love working with us:
- 💥 To make an impact: Your work will directly help people across Europe invest smarter and feel more secure about their future.
- 🌱 To grow with us: We’re all about learning and growing together. Whether you’re a newbie or a pro, there’s always room to level up here.
- 🌴 To send you great vibes: We believe work should be fun and fulfilling. Join a team that’s friendly, supportive, and ready to celebrate every win, big or small.
- 😎 To enjoy a flexible work life: Need to work from home sometimes? No problem. We value balance and understand life’s demands.
