Paris, Île-de-France 75000, France
CDI
Job Description
6 months, full time, September start.
Over 6 months, you will help build the commercial engine of a company mid-transformation, working directly alongside the General Manager.
Companow helps international entrepreneurs set up and manage their structures in France, entirely in English, with clients from over 90 countries. We are part of the Anderson Global group, an international, private-equity-backed group present in 8 countries.
We are in a growth and strategic repositioning phase, moving toward higher-value startup clients. We have just been officially selected by Choose Paris Region, we are about to migrate to a new CRM, and we are building a strong partner network: lawyers, accountants, chambers of commerce, investment promotion agencies, embassies. A small team, but a wide institutional and commercial ecosystem.

You work directly with the General Manager, no middle layer, on everything that makes the company grow. Our belief: go find prospects where they are, rather than waiting for them to come to us. That means fieldwork, embassies, trade shows, real meetings, not just campaigns behind a screen.
