Do you want to be part of a fast paced and entrepreneurial business? Founded in Cambridge in 2012, Velocity Commerce has grown into an award-winning leader in Amazon growth and audio retail, recently recognised as one of Cambridge's top 100 places to work.
Great design sits at the heart of everything we do - from how our products look on shelf to how they perform online. We combine creativity with commercial thinking, ensuring every asset not only looks exceptional but drives measurable results.

We design and develop innovative home audio products, including Dolby Atmos soundbars, record players and portable Bluetooth speakers.

Our specialist Amazon agency, helping brands scale through data-driven strategy and conversion-focused creative.
We move quickly, test constantly and focus relentlessly on results - but we also pride ourselves on building a supportive, vibrant and fun working environment.
