Backmarket · Paris
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. Yep, you read that right. Turns out refurbished tech is way better for the planet than new. In fact, With every device purchased on Back Market, our positive impact on the planet grows. 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? At Back Market, we're on a mission to prolong the life of electronics — because a phone that's already been made is always smarter than making a new one. With around 700 Backmakers across Paris, Bordeaux, Barcelona, New York, and Tokyo, we're growing fast, and our People ambition is growing with us. We're redesigning how the People function works from the inside out — dedicated expertise hubs, one shared language for hiring, assessing, developing, and promoting. The Talent hub brings Talent Acquisition and Talent Development under one roof, and we're looking for the person who will own the development side of that equation. This is the role that shapes how 700 people grow, progress, and get recognised. It's a builder's job as much as an operator's job — you'll design the systems, not just run them.
