About REBEL

REBEL is a category creator - the leading returns recommerce marketplace. We take returned and excess inventory from top retailers and brands, let our technology inspect, grade and price every item, and resell it to shoppers at up to 70% off.

We process tens of thousands retail returns a week across 100+ categories, and were named Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2026. We're a high-growth, top tier venture-backed company, and we're looking for a strategic finance leader to help us continue to scale.
