Idriss - Electronic Barcode Technician
Elise - Wharehouse order picker
Magdalena - Head of reception
“Being a sales representative at CODEO offers the following challenges:
- The versatility of three jobs: Technical sales in terms of product knowledge, field sales in terms of communicating with the customer by phone, by email and by meeting, and finally procurement because at CODEO, the sales person is responsible for their own sourcing.
- The ability to help and share: We are all interdependent. The purchases of some ensures the sourcing for others. Knowledge is shared and the aggregate performance of each person contributes to the overall performance bonuses of the whole.
- Adaptability: Each trade-in or supply need is unique and sometimes requires a real commercial imagination to find the right answer.
- Endurance: Small streams make big rivers. We have to be able to help our customers with even the smallest of needs, because that’s how they trust us for large projects later on.”
Aurélien, Sales Manager, Retail @ CODEO
“I am working as Account Manager for Eastern Europe. My job is to develop and maintain business relationships with new and existing customers from Eastern Europe. It requires from me aiming straight to the target, consistency, creativity, attention to details, good command of English and high sense of responsibility. I value this position very much because of everyday contact with customers, searching for and using non-standard solutions (which gives incredible satisfaction) and functioning in an international environment on a daily basis which allows improving my language skills (not only English). In addition this work allows me to perfectly understand the proverb that hard work pays off, I am experiencing this month by month!”
Michal, Account Manager for Eastern Europe @CODEO POLSKA
« Being a Product Manager at Codeo is a very exciting and enriching experience where you get to break-out from a traditional sales role and get to directly contributeto the company’s strategy and success. You do this by managing the stock, purchasing the right hardware, running marketing campaigns, helping peers on technical matters, and advising them on sales. This role requires you to be curious, patient and creative, along with having a good understanding of various stakeholders positions and good communication. »
Nicolas, Product Manager @ CODEO
« My job is to oversee the sales order process from start to finish and therefore encompasses a variety of tasks and areas of work.
The Sales Support team at Codeo is involved in processing and following customer orders, stock checking, invoicing, credit control, analysing data, and acts as the link between various departments, liaising between the sales, logistics, technical, and finance teams.
With Codeo’s cross-borders international structure, these teams can be in the UK, France, Poland, or Germany, and personally I particularly enjoy this aspect at Codeo. Therefore, as well as multi-tasking, organisation, and diligence, this role requires excellent communication, cultural understanding, and other languages can come in useful! »
Amy, Sales Support Coordinator & Team Manager @ CODEO UK
“I have been in charge of the Italian and North American markets at CODEO for three years. I work in pairs with three sales people and we do our best to ensure that our clients have the best possible experience. I enter the orders and follow up on their processing and invoicing up to the moment of delivery to our customers. I interact daily with the technical, logistics and sales departments to find quick and efficient solutions when preparation problems arise.
What do I like about my job? Working in a dynamic and international environment, responding to the needs of our customers and being the point of contact among several departments.
The secret to achieving this? Being flexible, proactive and rigorous.”
Ilaria, Sales Assistant @ CODEO
“I am responsible for the management of the entire medical device fleet. This includes inventory management, management of the internal and external technicians, the management of the receptions planning and shipment of orders. I also have the task of a project manager for all installations and de-installations of heavy imaging equipment such as radio room, scanner and MRI. As part of my duties, I have a mission of communication and buffer between the sales department and the operational department (of which I am a part). I communicate on a daily basis with the sales representatives, sales assistants and technicians and ensure that the available resources are used to meet the needs and requirements of our customers. The soft skills necessary for my job are, in my opinion,
communication, empathy, creativity, stress management, motivation and presence. »
Jefferson, Biomedical Manager @ CODEO MEDICAL
“The particularity of my job lies in the singularity of our activity: buying, refurbishing and selling second-hand equipment. This requires me to constantly adapt to the equipment, to develop my technical knowledge, and to be able to handle different requests according to the particularities. The little extra is that we work worldwide. I have to be meticulous about the specificities of sending to different countries and I have the possibility to exchange in different languages. What I like is our team spirit, the established communication and the possibility to propose my ideas.
What are the qualities to succeed in my job? Versatility, energy and dynamism! »
Magdalena, Logistician @ CODEO

The qualities to succeed? Demand, commitment, responsibility, curiosity and the desire to learn!»
Eduardo, Technical Manager @ CODEO IBERIA

Internally, I mobilize employees around meaningful projects and drivers of change. Externally, I lead a constructive dialogue with our stakeholders to enable the exchange of best practices and inform about the benefits associated with our reuse activity. In addition to having a real enthusiasm for sustainability issues, the qualities required for this position are: the ability to listen and communicate, a strong spirit of synthesis and analysis and a sense of initiative.
Céleste, CSR Manager @ CODEOGROUP
“The strength of a marketing communication manager at Codeo Group? Being at the heart of all the strategic orientations of the Group and its subsidiaries.

Being Swiss Army Knife, you have to know how to use direct marketing, digital, press relations and event management tools to promote the group and its entities among its ecosystem and to make the group’s values grow among our employees. Creativity is essential to know how to reinvent and innovate on a daily basis in order to develop our reputation in our existing and future markets. »
Claire, Marketing Manager @ CODEOGROUP
“I’m in charge of managing 3 departments: Communication, R&D and CSR. The main objective is the creation and management of sales support tools (communication, digital development and tools, CSR support and content).
To be successful in this position, you need to have a real “starter” temperament, be creative and able to create something from scratch to turn ideas into reality. A good sense of contact is essential for exchanging with teams and proposing appropriate responses.
It is essential to have an international culture and a good level of English to facilitate communication with all the members of the group and to be efficient.
Finally, the management of creative people requires a certain flexibility: they must be given a wide field of action so that they can express their creativity as freely as possible. »
Fabien, Marketing Director @ CODEOGROUP

François, R&D Manager @ CODEOGROUP
“Within Codeogroup’s IT department, I’m in charge of the smooth running of the servers but also of supervising projects that could optimize the comfort of the employees. As well as supporting each of them in the use of their IT equipment while advising them when they need it. In this way, I am in permanent contact with the group’s employees, which allows me to acquire an international outlook and an enriching professional experience for my job!”.
Alexandre, Alternating @ CODEOGROUP
“I’m in charge of the implementation and development of the group’s new software. To do this, I have to take into account CODEO’s specificities and its international dimension.
Our core business is opportunity and we offer various services: buy-back, sales, maintenance, rental. We have therefore had to adapt our ERP to these specificities, both for the management of our stocks and the monitoring of our activity. My role is to propose a tailor-made tool to ensure a global and harmonised vision.
It is essential to take a step back, to communicate a lot and to get organised to succeed. All this, of course, with a strong team spirit! »
