The difference you will make:
You’ll be joining the team at a particularly exciting moment : we’re building our local strategy from the ground up, about to launch a major partnership, and driving an innovative new project. You’ll get 360° exposure to business development, with a strong focus on activation: event execution, stakeholder alignment, and impact tracking. It’s an opportunity to contribute to a high-impact launch, learn what great outcomes look like, and build the foundation to engage future partners with confidence.
You can expect to:
- Partner with your mentor - Business Development Lead for France and Benelux - to oversee activation plans for ongoing partnerships
- Contribute to event coordination: this involves planning, stakeholder management (both internally and externally), D-day activation, and last but not least, after-action review to guarantee solid measurement practices, feedback collection and suggest improvements
- Participate in mapping out potential new partners in the region: you will turn into an investigator to seed out ideas for new partnerships to develop our business
Your expertise:
We welcome any candidate who is passionate about building long-lasting and effective partnerships! You are probably the right person for this role if you tick the following boxes:
- You are in your final year of getting a Master’s degree
- No preference for the area of study, but you have to be data- and tech-savvy
- Ideally, you have previous experience in working in some partnership capacity. You were/are part of the student committee and stroke deals with the local partners for the benefits of your fellow students? We want to hear from you!
- You speak both French and English very fluently (you don’t have to be a native speaker, but you need to be comfortable with both languages)
- Based in Paris (this position requires in-person office presence, but our Paris office is absolutely gorgeous)
Desired Skills
- Strong communication skills - Good knowledge of French market preferred
- Skilled user of Excel/Google Sheets
- Strong analytical skills and ability to derive high-quality analysis from data.
- Ability to work proactively and results-driven: always trying to learn that extra detail that can help make the most accurate decisions
- Experience with an internet marketplace business or within the travel industry is a plus
- Curiosity is your driver, you are an avid learner and default to connecting with people to hear their story.
- You are an authentic “people person” with the ability to connect the right people together. You default to thinking strategic and long-term rewards rather than only tactical, short-term success
- Comfortable working with ambiguity
