Who we are
Klarna’s
mission is to free people from all the meaningless time spent managing
money and purchases, so they can do more of what they love. Every day at
Klarna we help consumers, merchants, and partners to explore just how
smoooth the modern purchase experience can be. Our position at the
crossroads of payments, consumer financing, ecommerce and banking means
we are uniquely positioned to do this. There is no label for what we
do.
Klarna was born in Stockholm in 2005 and
today has 2000 employees working across Europe and the US. We currently
serve 60 million consumers, work together with 90,000 merchants and
process more than a million payment transactions a day. We are growing
at 40% year on year and our investors include Visa, Atomico, Sequoia
Capital, Permira and Bestseller group/ Anders Holsch Povlsen. We have
strong partnerships with some of the world’s leading brands, such as
ASOS, IKEA, Adidas, Zara, Lufthansa and Spotify.
Klarna
strives to become the world’s favorite way to buy and we want you to
help us reach this goal! We want to hire great people, who are
passionate about using their talents to generate success. We are
currently looking to grow our Commercial teams in Belgium and the
Netherlands to help us challenge the traditional finance industry and
make it smooother the Klarna way!
Who you are
- You are an ambitious person with a significant drive to build up new things

- You have a desire to go above and beyond to produce the best work results

It
goes without saying that to achieve excellent results you have 4+ years

of our commercial teams up for success and being a living example of how
to drive business and client relationships forward, we would like to

- Manage the full customer journey and life-cycle from prospecting to winning
