Junior Business Developer (M/F) – Digital Agency

Periscope supports 122 clients, NGOs, associations, and engaged companies, with 42 people spread between Clermont-Ferrand and Paris and approximately €4 million in turnover. We have a clear objective: to accelerate our growth in the next three years. Paris is where a large part of this ambition will be played out, and we are looking for the person who will carry it on the ground.

Periscope covers the entire spectrum: social media, digital marketing, web and tech, data and SEO, design and video studio, and now an AI offering. Our clients are divided into three categories:

• Generosity: making donations (NGOs, foundations, associations, such as the Fondation 30 Millions d'Amis)

• Community: building membership

• Impact: driving service usage

The generosity sector is our strongest area, and we aim to become the leading agency for NGOs in France.
