Drive Your Career Forward with Scorpion Automotive

Do you want a career opportunity, or just a job? If you’re looking to join a winning team, read on. Scorpion Automotive specialises in making driving safer, more secure, and more sustainable, and since 2018 we’ve grown from a £4 million business to a £45 million one. That kind of growth tells us we’re doing something right – but there’s still plenty of road ahead. There are 1\.5 billion vehicles on the planet today, and we’ve only captured a fraction of that market, which leaves well over a billion still to reach. That’s the scale of opportunity we’re inviting you to be part of.

At Scorpion Automotive, we're passionate about innovation, technology, and protecting what matters most to our customers. As one of the UK's leading providers of vehicle security, tracking, and fleet management solutions, we're proud of our reputation for excellence, customer service, and continuous growth.

We're looking for a talented and motivated Business Development Manager – France to join our team. Whether you're looking to take the next step in your career or bring your expertise to a growing organisation, this is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact within a supportive and forward\-thinking business.

We're more than just a workplace. We are a team of passionate, dedicated individuals who support one another, celebrate successes together, and continuously look for ways to innovate and improve.

We value integrity, accountability, teamwork, and customer focus. If you enjoy working in a fast\-paced environment where your contribution is recognised and valued, we'd love to hear from you.

Scorpion Automotive is proud to be an Equal Opportunities Employer.

We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected, valued, and able to reach their full potential. We welcome applications from suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, disability, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by law.

We believe that a diverse workforce strengthens our business, drives innovation, and helps us better serve our customers and communities.

About the Role

France sees around 125,000 vehicle thefts every year, yet has no established dealer\-channel security programme of the kind Scorpion has built in the UK – which is exactly the gap you’ll be helping to close.

Working alongside our France Business Development Manager and the wider Export team, you will lead on outbound prospecting, demos, and early\-stage dealer development, starting with a focus on Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Toulouse, while your BDM takes the lead on strategic account relationships and market planning.

Based in the UK, you will sell into France by phone, video demo, and email, with two to four trips a year to represent Scorpion at events such as Equip Auto Paris and other key French trade shows. As in the UK, French dealer relationships are won on rapport and patience rather than speed, so you’ll need to read the room, find the real decision\-makers, and give trust the time it needs to build.

You’ll be supported by a structured six\-month ramp – two months of product training and shadowing, two months of active outbound calling, and two months closing your first dealer agreements – so while we won’t expect full quota on day one, we will expect energy, curiosity, and a growing pipeline from week one.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

✔ Native or business\-fluent French (written and spoken), plus strong English
✔ 2 to 4 years of B2B sales experience with a strong track record of outbound prospecting and cold calling
✔ A track record of consistently meeting or exceeding sales targets
✔ Experience running a full sales cycle from first contact through to close
✔ Comfortable explaining technical products – you do not need to be an engineer, but you do need to understand vehicle tracking and telematics well enough to bring a dealer principal on side
✔ Self\-motivated and comfortable managing your own pipeline and time independently, while working closely alongside an in\-market Business Development Manager
✔ Right to work in the UK (Skilled Worker visa sponsorship available for the right candidate)

Desirable:

⭐ Experience in automotive, telematics, insurance, or fleet management
⭐ Familiarity with Salesforce or a similar CRM
⭐ A second European language

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who shares our values, takes pride in their work, and is eager to contribute to a collaborative team environment.

Why Join Scorpion Automotive?

We believe people are at the heart of our success, which is why we are committed to creating a workplace where our employees can thrive.

What You Can Expect:

✅ Competitive salary and benefits package
✅ Career development and progression opportunities
✅ Training and ongoing professional development
✅ Supportive and collaborative working environment
✅ Employee recognition initiatives
✅ Modern and growing business with ambitious plans for the future
✅ The opportunity to make a real difference from day one
