About this role
Help build the future of circular technology. At Pandas, we’re building the technology behind the next generation of smartphone trade-ins.
Our mission is simple: For every smartphone that’s purchased, another one should be traded in, just as easily. We develop AI-powered solutions that help some of the world’s largest retailers assess, value and trade in mobile devices more efficiently, making device reuse faster, smarter and more sustainable. As we continue expanding internationally, we’re looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, working with technology, and making a real operational impact. If you’re analytical, detail-oriented, naturally curious, and passionate about smartphones, we’d love to meet you. ⸻
About the Role
As an Operations Specialist, you’ll play a key role in the daily operation and quality of our AI-powered trade-in platform.
This is not a traditional customer support role.
Your work will combine operational monitoring, AI quality validation, partner support, and problem solving. You’ll review and assess grading sessions performed by our AI, investigate operational issues, help partners resolve day-to-day challenges, and work closely with our Product and Engineering teams to continuously improve our platform.
Success in this role comes from analytical thinking, consistency, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in technology. ⸻
What You’ll Do
• Review and assess smartphone grading sessions and grading results generated by our AI platform to ensure quality and consistency.
• Monitor the daily performance of our global trade-in platform and identify operational issues.
• Investigate platform behaviour, grading discrepancies, and partner-reported issues.
• Support business partners via our support platform, email, and phone, helping them resolve operational and product-related questions.
• Guide partners through structured troubleshooting procedures.
• Escalate complex issues to Product or Engineering when necessary.
• Identify recurring issues and contribute ideas that improve our products, processes, and operational efficiency.
• Maintain high quality standards by following documented procedures and continuously improving best practices.
⸻
A Typical Day
A typical day may include:
• Reviewing AI-generated smartphone grading results.
• Investigating grading discrepancies and unusual cases.
• Helping retail partners troubleshoot platform-related issues.
• Monitoring operational performance across multiple markets.
• Collaborating with Product and Engineering on product improvements.
• Testing newly released features and providing feedback.
• Updating internal documentation and operational processes.
No two days are exactly the same, but every day you’ll directly contribute to improving the reliability of our AI platform and the experience of our partners around the world. ⸻
What We’re Looking For
Required
• Fluent written and spoken French.

You’ll Enjoy This Role If…
