Infinited Fiber Company is a fashion and textile technology powerhouse on a mission to bring joy and hope back to closets by making circularity an everyday reality. Our breakthrough innovation transforms trashed textiles into Infinna™, a brand-new premium textile fiber that looks and feels like cotton and is just as versatile. Infinna™ is biodegradable, recyclable, and contains no microplastics. While we focus on creating value out of discarded cotton textiles, our technology can also use other cellulose-rich materials – cardboard, paper, wheat straw – to create the same fantastic fiber. The biggest prize we can imagine is for our technology to help make textile circularity a reality. We’re also honored and humbled by the industry recognitions we’ve won, including Wired’s Europe’s Hottest Startups 2021, 2021 Global Cleantech 100 Company, Sitra’s Finland’s most interesting circular economy companies 2021, and The Europas Awards 2020 Europe’s Hottest Sustainability Tech Startup.

You will work closely with your colleagues in the development of our financial and ICT capabilities and processes.
Our office is in Otaniemi, Espoo. We work flexibly, both remotely and at the office. Our finance team meets at the office weekly. This role does not require traveling. A basic safety clearance shall be carried out for the person selected for the position.

Are we proud to be leading the way toward circularity in fashion and textiles? Heck yeah! We take what others see as textile trash and use our patented technology to turn it into valuable new fibers that are snatched back into the industry as quickly as they tumble off our production line.
What makes us unique? We like to think we’re a little different in our approach. We’ve thought a lot about the values that motivate us. This is how we’d sum ourselves up.
- Rebels with a cause. Our work has meaning – to bring joy and hope back to closets by making textile circularity an everyday reality. We’re a small company with a huge heart, on a mission to change the textile industry for good.
- Born Curious. For us, every day is a chance to learn, question and innovate. We’re a diverse bunch of logical thinkers who thrive on finding solutions, one molecule at a time.
- Unstoppable together. It’s up to us to make a change. So, we work as a team, involve, and inspire our customers and partners, and get sh**t done. And we have fun doing it, too!
