Description du poste

What is our ambition?

We believe that any network of retail locations aiming to improve the customer experience must engage both head office and in-store teams through a digital tool. Yet none of the major global software providers (Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft, Oracle…) currently make this possible.

Our ambition is to become the world’s first "Local Collaboration Platform", used by retail networks to engage their teams and enhance the customer experience both online and in-store.

This will be made possible by a strong focus on three key pillars:

- Customer satisfaction, by helping our clients succeed in their digital transformation projects

- Product simplicity, to make Partoo accessible even to the least tech-savvy users

- Collaboration between head office and stores, which is enabled throughout the product

- Participate in compliance projects (including GDPR, anti-corruption/Sapin II and other applicable regulations);
