Logistics? Maybe not what you dreamed of as a kid. But building a fast-growing international SaaS scale-up that’s transforming how some of the world’s largest industrial companies operate? That’s a different story.

Peripass is a tech company at heart. We build software that digitises and automates complex logistics environments for companies like Bridgestone, Alpro and Arcelor Mittal.

This includes identifying and qualifying prospects, conducting discovery conversations, developing business cases, managing stakeholders, negotiating and closing deals.

• Build our presence in France: Identify target accounts and create new business opportunities through strategic outbound prospecting and personalised outreach across relevant industries. Work closely with our BDR team to open conversations with new prospects and build awareness of Peripass in the French market.
