Company Overview

Atomy is a direct sales company founded in South Korea that distributes "masstige" (prestige products for the mass market) cosmetics and personal care products internationally. The company reported sales of US$1.3 Billion in 2019.

Atomy's policy of high-quality health and beauty goods for the masses, along with its relentless efforts in global markets, worked together to achieve an amazing feat: winning not one but numerous Export Tower Awards ($5 million in 2011, $10 million in 2013, $20 million in 2015, $30 million in 2016, and now $50 million in 2017).

Since its foundation in 2009, Atomy began establishing overseas branch offices, starting with Atomy USA in 2010 then many more in Asia, Australia and other locations across the globe. There are now 14+ offices in the world (and counting!).

The UK office is the first and ultimately "Flagship" office in Europe, with openings planned for Netherlands, Germany and other countries in mainland Europe to follow. Although we will have the backing of a large global corporation, this UK branch will still be embracing the Start Up mentality as we bring this entirely new enterprise to Europe. As such, we are looking for individuals who aren't afraid to get stuck in, take on new challenges and engage in multiple tasks outside of their area of expertise.The learning curve may be steep at times but it is sure to be rewarding and inspiring.

Atomy has a unique company structure and culture. We strive to be the true embodiment of teamwork. If you are looking for a company that is dedicated to employee wellbeing, you've come to the right place.

3 Things NOT Found at Atomy

No Rank

There is no hierarchical system where the person with the most experience moves up. This is symbolic of working horizontally and looking past formalities.

No Attendance Surveillance

Coming in early or working late is not what matters. What's important is producing results.

No Role Constraints

We believe that our team members aren't simply a cog in the machine but a key part of the entire unit. Just because you are in Finance does not mean you will only be focused on the numbers. The unique opinions and views that each person brings means that everyone is able to contribute to projects, whether you are in Marketing or Logistics.
