Our professional athletes deliver top-class performances, and our triathlon suits have won at the Olympic Games, Ironman World Championships, World Triathlon Championship Series, Extreme Triathlon Series, and multiple Ironman distances.

You will join an enthusiastic global sales team who seeks new colleagues to be responsible for selling mainly towards the French and connected European triathlon market.
