About this role
You don't want to inherit a sales organisation. You want to build one. You start in the region between Paris and Strasbourg and spend the first months in the field yourself: you meet dealers, sign the first customers, and see their first cars sell at auction. Then you hire a team of up to six and take it nationwide.
Location: France, Paris to Strasbourg region - you work independently in the field, with a high share of dealer visits and your onboarding in Berlin.
About us
CarOnSale is the AI-powered platform for B2B used car trading in Europe. Over 40,000 buyers from more than 20 countries trade on our platform, and 85% of inventory is exclusive to us. We connect software, pricing intelligence, logistics and financing in one layer, as the operating system for an entire industry.
One Platform. One Profit Engine.
