Internship | Toulouse | Operations & Growth Intern, Founder's Office

Company Overview

Sparengine is aircraft intelligence. It reconstructs the full history of an aircraft and its components, back to birth, from everything that exists about it: paper records, scanned logbooks, maintenance software exports, scattered spreadsheets, and data recovered directly from maintenance centers. Lessors, MROs, part out specialists and technical consultants rely on it for aircraft transitions, teardown projects and pre buy intelligence, where a missing trace has real financial and airworthiness consequences.

The Mission

Sparengine moves on several fronts at once: client deliveries, a commercial pipeline across Europe and the US, a distributed technical team, partnerships and funding. You work directly with the founder and take ownership of everything that keeps the company running and moving forward, so that decisions turn into execution and nothing falls through the cracks. This is not an assistant internship. You are trusted with real responsibilities, real relationships and real decisions from your first weeks.

Day to Day

• Run the operating rhythm of the company: weekly priorities, team follow up, deadlines and reporting
• Keep the commercial engine moving: pipeline and CRM, follow ups, meeting preparation, trade shows and events
• Coordinate client projects alongside the founder and the technical team, from kickoff to delivery
• Drive partnership, funding and administrative files with partners, suppliers and public bodies
• Turn recurring chaos into simple processes the team actually uses
• Represent Sparengine with clients, partners and the team when the founder is not in the room

Profile Required

• Fluent professional English, written and spoken (mandatory); French is a strong plus
• Outstanding interpersonal skills: you build trust quickly with engineers, clients and partners alike
• High emotional intelligence: you read people and situations, and know when to push and when to listen
• Strong autonomy: you structure loose problems and drive them to completion without close supervision
• Reliability and follow through: what you take on gets done, and you say early when it will not
• Clear, structured written communication and comfort with shifting priorities
• Enrolled in a business school, engineering school or university master's program, able to sign an internship agreement
• Interest in aviation; experience in the aftermarket, leasing or MRO is a plus, not a requirement

What We Offer

• Direct work with the founder on every topic that matters, not a seat on the sidelines
• Broad responsibility early, with a scope that grows with you and with the company
• Exposure to the key players of the aviation aftermarket: lessors, MROs, technical consultants and investors
• A small, high trust team based in Toulouse, with occasional remote work

Practical Details

Location: Toulouse

Contract: Internship, 6 months

Compensation: Based on profile

Why Sparengine

You will see how a company is built from the inside, in an industry where precision and trust are everything. The internship is designed as a path to a full time role in operations or growth as Sparengine scales, and how fast that happens depends on you.
