Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You're a business school student (or equivalent 4-5 year program) with at least one prior marketing internship or co-op

  • You're fluent in English and comfortable working with diverse teams across cultures and time zones
  • Bonus: You have some knowledge of perfumes, cosmetics, or luxury brand ecosystems
Won't Work If
  • You want pure creativity—this is operational/execution, not campaign ideation or design
  • You need work-from-home flexibility; this is fully on-site in Paris
  • You're looking for a quick pivot to a full-time role; 6 months is the stated commitment
  • You're not comfortable saying 'no' to urgent asks or managing competing priorities from 20+ markets
