The role

The European team is looking for talented and motivated sales people to grow our business out of our office located at the heart of Paris. The team is growing fast as GoCardless solves a key challenge for all businesses: getting paid faster. This role is a unique opportunity to participate in the massive growth we’re seeing in France and to join a rapidly expanding team.

As an Inside Sales Representative, we want to give you all of the tools and skills you need to succeed and thrive.

In order to navigate a path to mutual success, you will need to develop a good understanding of our solution, the business value, and technical fit and its relationship to our customers’ existing systems. Your target customers will be small to medium businesses HQ’d across Europe, specifically across industries such as Accounting and Bookkeeping, Gyms and Fitness, Franchise Groups, SaaS and more.

We've built a dynamic, collaborative culture in which we hire and develop intelligent, driven people that share our desire to do work we can be proud of. We value learning and feedback, and we spur each other on to raise the bar of success.
