At InCommodities NA, we embody a startup mindset. Our culture is deeply entrepreneurial, seeking people who thrive in dynamic environments with constant change and a strong focus on continuous improvements.

We operate with a flat organizational structure, fostering autonomy, enabling fast and distributed decision-making processes and encouraging open communication. This approach ensures that innovative ideas can swiftly turn into impactful actions, driving our growth and success.

We value responsibility, initiative and flexibility to exceed defined job descriptions. This ensures that everyone contributes meaningfully and takes ownership which is crucial for driving our growth and adaptability in these early phases of building our US presence.

A people-first culture

We value a strong social community with frequent events outside the office. The work culture is relaxed; you don’t have to abide by a dress code or a strict hierarchy, so you won’t be frustrated with too many rules, policies, or bureaucratic processes.

Our core values - honesty, transparency, and rethinking - are fundamental to how we engage with each other. Without honesty and transparency, we can't build trust, and trust among team members is the foundation of effective relationships and collaboration, ultimately for achieving better outcomes together. And as for rethinking, it’s deeply rooted in our DNA, pushing us to challenge status quo and continuously develop and innovate.

In other words, InCommodities is not your average workplace – it’s awesome.
