Specialist, Seller Marketing
Reverb is the largest music instrument marketplace in the world, transforming the way musicians buy and sell gear online. Our first love was guitar, and we quickly became the premiere destination for vintage instruments, obscure pedals, boutique amps and more. Now, we encompass some of the most passionate drummers, synth heads, horn players, DJs and producers around the world who love buying and selling gear.
As a marketplace, our growth depends on the quality and breadth of the sellers we have on the platform as much as it depends on the buyers. With that, we’re focused not only on growing our selection of new, used and vintage gear, but also on creating the best possible selling experience for all sellers -- from those selling one or two pieces of gear a year on up.

This is a new role at Reverb, so we are looking for someone with the vision to build a strategy for seller marketing as well as execute on the day-to-day.
