About The Company
Founded in 2014 by Thibaud Hug de Larauze, Quentin Le Brouster, and Vianney Vaute, Back Market is a global marketplace for premium refurbished electronics. We’re here to help make refurbished tech trustworthy, reliable, and affordable. As a certified B-Corp, Back Market’s mission is to do more with what we already have. Because, well, what we already have is pretty great. That’s why all the tech you find on Back Market is better than new — because not only is it in perfect working condition, independent scientific research shows that refurbished electronics have a significantly smaller footprint on the environment than brand new. Every time someone chooses refurbished tech, we avoid additional environmental impact on the planet. Of course, it’s not just about the tech sold by sellers on our marketplace, it’s also about how we run our business — we hold ourselves to high standards when it comes to our own sustainability practices, too. We work across the refurbishment industry to develop new technologies, support environmental initiatives related to electronic waste (e-waste), and work with local governments across the globe to pass legislation that supports sustainability and the Right to Repair in the tech industry. We know we’re not alone in our vision for a world where tech respects the planet. With 884M€ raised to date and over 10 million customers around the world, we’re well on our way to the joyful revolution of Tech Reborn.

About the Role

Hi, we’re Back Market.

We’re here to help make tech reliable, affordable, and better than new. We're a global marketplace for refurbished devices, helping lower our collective environmental impact by providing trustworthy, affordable tech with 92% less carbon emissions than new.

From our Customer Care representatives to our software engineer, every individual at Back Market cuts the planet — and consumers — a break. Our mission is simple: to do more with what we already have.

Are you ready to join us?

Back Market for Business (B2B) was launched 2 years ago as a platform dedicated to providing companies with refurbished IT hardware (smartphones, laptops, and tablets) for their employees.

Back Market for Business operates internationally across Europe and the United States.

We are looking for our next B2B Sales Apprentice to help the team grow and perform ! It is truly a polyvalent Sales opportunity (Account Management, Business and Sales Development).

You ready ?

YOUR MISSION (IF YOU ACCEPT IT): 🥇

  • Onboard and manage Pro customer accounts through both inbound and outbound channels (email, phone calls), primarily serving SMEs (PMEs) and mid-sized companies (ETIs).

  • Support clients in executing their supply acquisition strategy, covering smartphones, tablets, and laptops mostly, with varying levels of complexity: from straightforward purchases to sourcing assistance (in collaboration with the Pro Supply team), price negotiation, and value-added service offerings (payment terms, enrollment, trade-in programs, extended warranties).

  • Drive the transition from a transactional to a relationship-driven approach: moving beyond deal-closing to building long-term account management practices, as the team progressively shifts its commercial model in that direction.

  • Salesforce experience is a huge plus - but we'll train the right candidate

  • Highly organized with exceptional communication skills and a "get stuff done" mentality

  • Natural collaborator who thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional environments
