Founded in Paris, Joko is a tech company and certified B Corp with over 90 talents across Paris, Barcelona, and New York (and beyond). More than 6 million users already save money every day at 10,000+ merchants with Joko.

From cashback and automatic coupons to price alerts and carbon tracking, we keep expanding our products to make shopping smarter. We’re now building an AI-powered shopping assistant to help users find the best products by price, quality, and impact.

Having reached profitability in our core market, we’re now scaling globally, with a strong focus on the US.

It’s still day 1, come build the future of shopping with us!

(This position is open to candidates located in Paris only.)

Our team / why this role

At Joko, the B2B team is the growth engine: we expand Joko’s merchant network and deliver unbeatable deals to our users.

We operate across three business lines with one mission:

• Online team: Account Managers are in charge of growing and managing our portfolio of e-commerce partners, directly with e-merchants or through our relationship with affiliate marketing platforms.

• Card-Linked team: our Sales team is in charge of signing Enterprise deals with top-tier retailers with physical stores, and Account Managers are in charge of growing long-lasting partnerships.

• Gift Cards team: Account Managers are in charge of growing and managing the portfolio of brands and retailers, through relations with providers and in direct relationships with merchants.

You’ll join the Gift Cards team, already a massive business line, grown x10 in the last year, yet it still feels like day one. This is an opportunity to join as our very first Gift Cards Account Manager. Everything is still to be built: from defining merchant collaboration to shaping how we identify and close new commercial opportunities.

Within 18 months your objective will be to make Joko the go-to partner for gift cards. Every key merchant knows us, wants to work with us, and we secure the most attractive and exclusive deals on the market.

• Create strong, long-term relationships with merchants and partners

• Spot opportunities across industries and turn them into deals
