US Accounts Payable Coordinator

Your Journey

Sweaty Betty delivers the perfect fusion of fitness, functionality and fashion – what we like to call “beautiful technical.” We design product that has legs long beyond the gym or studio, an authentic London-cool outlook on style, and a culture that recognizes it’s all good fun… we exercise to look and feel good (not necessarily to find enlightenment), and know that the best workouts are fun, shared with friends and frequently followed by chocolate, a cocktail, or something else that more or less negates the calories you just burned.

Founded by our Creative Director, Tamara Hill-Norton, in 1998 in London’s Notting Hill, Sweaty Betty now has 43 stores in the UK and 8 (and counting) in the US. We are poised for explosive growth in the US over the next five and there has never been a more exciting time to join our team.
