About us

Our Community

We're by Kiwi, for Kiwi.

Every day we help millions of Kiwi find a home, a car, a job and the things they love. Our purpose is to connect Kiwi to create the life they want. That means every Kiwi, whoever they are and whoever they love.

We want everyone to feel safe and welcome on Trade Me and at Trade Me. That starts with a team that reflects the communities we serve.

Representing Aotearoa

A team as diverse as the people who use Trade Me makes better decisions, and builds a Trade Me that works for all of them. Our diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) strategy sets out where we want to get to:

Diversity: we will be more diverse, and our workplace will better resemble the world around us.
Equity: our people will have equal opportunity to grow and progress, and we will make room for underrepresented voices.
Inclusion: our culture will embrace and value different voices.

Our commitment to rainbow communities

We're a Pride Pledge Gold Supporter. Pride Pledge is Aotearoa's largest values-based commitment to the safety, visibility and inclusion of rainbow communities. Our Rainbow Employee Network Group asked us to take the Pledge. We're now working towards three star Pride Pledge certification, and we're aiming to be certified in 2027.

“Celebrating and embracing diversity makes Trade Me a stronger organisation and helps us serve our diverse communities better. I’m committed to diversity, equity and inclusion at Trade Me, and I want our rainbow whānau to feel safe and supported to be themselves at work.” - Kul Kargil, Chief Executive Officer
