Job Description:

At Finoptim, we have a simple but ambitious mission: to reconcile fire with clean air. Since 2013, we have been designing and manufacturing high-end, aesthetic, and environmentally friendly heating and conviviality solutions in France.

Born in the heart of the Alps, a stone's throw from Grenoble, our company has become known for the "insert-ouvert", a patented innovation that transforms traditional fireplaces into high-performance hearths. Since then, Finoptim has continued to innovate to offer a range of designer products: wood stoves, custom fireplaces, outdoor braziers, high-performance inserts... all designed to combine efficiency, elegance, and durability.

We believe in modern craftsmanship, short supply chains, with attention to the smallest details: from the choice of materials to the finish, from customer experience to environmental impact.
