Faire, the online wholesale marketplace that connects independent brands with retailers, employs approximately 930 people across North America and Europe. Recent staffing data shows modest net growth, with hiring slightly outpacing departures. The company continues investing in technology and go-to-market roles to support its digital platform and growing customer base.
Engineering is the largest team at Faire with close to 290 employees, underscoring the platform’s technology-centric focus. Marketing and Product together form the next biggest group at about 240 employees, followed by Sales and Support at roughly 130, reflecting the emphasis on both product innovation and merchant success. Smaller yet essential functions such as Finance and Administration, IT, Human Resources, Operations, Business Management, and Risk, Safety & Compliance collectively account for the remaining headcount. Across all departments, new hiring has been balanced by comparable attrition, resulting in stable team sizes overall.
Faire’s workforce is distributed across several key hubs. San Francisco hosts the largest share at nearly one-third of employees, while Toronto represents the company’s principal Canadian presence with more than 160 team members. Other notable offices include New York, London, Los Angeles, Chicago, Vancouver, Austin, and Waterloo, each supporting regional growth and talent access. An additional group of employees works remotely or in smaller satellite locations, providing flexibility and geographic diversity throughout the organization.
