At Soum, we're on a mission to build a marketplace that enables users to buy and sell anything online with convenience, trust, and ease starting in the MENA market. We began with second-hand electronics in KSA, becoming market leaders, and are now expanding to used cars and collectibles.

Our team, Soumers, have worked in over 14 countries from the US to South Korea. We are always on the look out for the best and brightest to join. We look beyond resumes and titles, we look for the innovators, the hungry, the go-getters. We offer them the autonomy to experiment, learn, fail, and grow. Every transaction on Soum is guaranteed; we hold funds until the item is delivered and confirmed by the buyer, thanks to our proprietary fulfillment and payment systems. This ensures a secure and reliable marketplace experience. Soum has pioneered a solution that have transformed digital commerce for sellers in the wider region: Individuals: Enjoy unique home pick-up and delivery services, secure payments, and transaction guarantees for worry-free selling.
