Job description

Our Vision

We are on a mission to reinvent procurement by transforming complex processes into simple and automated actions. Najar empowers businesses with cutting‑edge procurement solutions that are adaptable, reliable, and focused on long‑term financial health. With our AI‑driven platform, businesses can confidently navigate the complexities of procurement, ensuring that every decision is visible, precise, and built to last.

With Najar, businesses have the tools they need to take control of their procurement processes, optimize spending, and unlock the full power of automation. Just like the navigation systems in a spaceship’s control room, our platform ensures that every insight is within reach.

About Us

Our cofounder, who previously led the financial department in another company, experienced the pain around procurement processes and the lack of clarity and information.

Following a successful Seed funding round and a Series A of €15 million led by 13Books, Portage and Tomcat, we are focused on continuing our growth and expanding our impact in the market. We aspire to be the leading procurement solution in France and Europe, becoming the strategic partner for businesses and the architect of trust.
