Sales and Marketing for a Price-Winning Sophia Antipolis Startup

Mission:
We are seeking several profiles in Sales and Marketing, both Interns and full Employees.

The sales and marketing persons will directly assist the Sales & Marketing Director. The position will be adapted to fit junior or more senior candidates.

Responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

On the Marketing side:
- Participation to the market analysis and development of market strategies and segmentation
- Tracking competitor offers and customer demand to understand market developments
- Preparation and support of Marketing Campaigns
- Editing and drafting promotional material such as press releases, brochures

On the Sales side:
- Contact prospective clients

The intern or employee will have the opportunity to go to client sales meetings and attend civic and professional meetings.

As we are a startup company, the intern or employee will also have the possibility to participate to financial aspects if interested, for instance related to project management and fundings.

Overall, the intern or employee will get a well-rounded understanding and practice of business operations.

As we are a fast developing company with international potential, if the position is filled up as an internship it will be seen as a first step towards employment — after a Trainee (“Apprentis”) year for instance, in which case Stock Options will be offered.
