Job description

Sales · Paris, France · Full-time · Entry level

This is a six month internship in sales and business development, working closely with the chief business officer. The work is mostly finding and researching potential customers among infrastructure operators, reaching out to them, and helping with early sales conversations. A strong candidate is a business or engineering student who researches carefully, writes clearly in French and English, and is happy to take initiative with little supervision.

How it fits the AI era

AI is already part of what this company sells, since its software turns flight data into defect findings and leak locations. In the sales work, AI tools can speed up prospect research, list building and first drafts of outreach. Understanding what infrastructure operators need, earning their trust and judging which markets are worth pursuing stay human work.

How it builds AI experience

The intern would sit close to a product where AI analyzes inspection data, so they can learn how that kind of AI is explained and sold to utilities and rail operators. Working with the technical teams gives a chance to see what the AI can and cannot detect. Building habits with AI research and writing tools for prospecting would add practical experience.

Worth showing

• Market and customer research
• Clear French and English writing
• Outbound prospecting results
• CRM or spreadsheet fluency
• Curiosity about energy and drones
