Is This Role For You?
- You're a final-year master's student (Journalism, Business, Engineering) with a marketing or digital comms focus
- You've done an internship or apprenticeship in Sales or Marketing—you know how to execute, not just ideate
- You're comfortable with Office suite, design tools (Figma, Canva, or Adobe), and eager to master analytics platforms
- You want to see real impact: your content, posts, and campaigns directly fuel growth at a mission-driven unicorn-track company
- You're purely theoretical—this role requires hands-on execution, not just strategy papers
- You need 100% remote flexibility; this is on-site in Paris
- You have zero interest in B2B, insurance, or climate tech; Descartes' mission won't excite you
