Careers at Velstar
If you can't see an open role that interests you, why not connect with us below and let us know what you're looking for. We'd love to hear from you.
Working With Us
Do you want to work with awesome brands and amazing people?
Do you thrive in a collaborative culture, where you're given the space and opportunity to do your best work?
Well, you're in the right place!
(Okay, yeah, we would say that, but here's a little about what you can expect as a member of the team at Velstar to help set the scene).
-
Every single person that I work alongside is an expert in their field. That is an experience you simply don't find elsewhere. There's an excitement that comes from working with so many incredibly bright minds, it pushes you to continue to improve and excel.
Our Culture
We know that culture isn't pool tables, beer fridges and free pizza (honestly, pool is really loud, and we do the other two fairly regularly, but it makes for a less definitive statement).
In a jarring shift in tone, and to get a bit earnest for a second, we support each other here, and we're proud to have built a collaborative culture where everyone is given the space and opportunity to do what they do best.
We're also big on recognition and acknowledging a job well done. We've found that encouraging gratitude and appreciation has helped us develop a space where you're far more likely to be tagged in a celebration than a problem (okay, we work with clients - let's say at least as likely).
With team members based throughout the UK, we also like to encourage the occasional get together (not in a company mandated fun kind of way) and try our best to make sure remote and local team members have ample opportunity to meet in person and virtually to talk about things other than ecommerce.
So, wherever you are in the country, we make sure the culture extends at least that far.
-
Everyone is super helpful and friendly - if someone doesn't know the answer to your question they will always point you in the direction of someone who will.

Our Office
You'll find our HQ in the centre of Liverpool and the majority of our team are pretty local - choosing between five days in the office or a hybrid of office and WFH, depending on what suits them (we do have lots working remotely too - and while they mostly exist in a square on your MacBook, we promise they also have their own physical locations).
While we've never mandated a set number of days to be in - we've tried to make the office somewhere pleasant to work, and most days there are plenty of people occupying the desks and meeting rooms and catching up on the latest streaming sensation, football result, or Taylor Swift album.
-
I think the whole ethos of the company gives us the best environment to work in. Velstar goes above and beyond for us to ensure we have everything we need to do our jobs.
