Phase 1 — Intelligence (weeks 1-2)

You know the French business world. Use that knowledge systematically. Research how French mid-market decision-makers actually search for and evaluate outsourcing providers — on Google, on ChatGPT, on Perplexity, in professional networks. Document the exact language they use, the questions they ask, the objections they have, the competitors who appear. Benchmark the content that currently ranks or gets cited. Deliver a structured brief that defines the content we need to build and why.

This phase ends with one document: a complete editorial brief that we both validate before a single word of content is written.

Phase 2 — Content Creation (weeks 3-6)

Write the guide. In French. For a senior French business audience. This is not a brochure or a service page — it is a substantive, useful resource that earns trust before it asks for anything. Think of it as the document you would want to read if you were a Directeur Opérations at a 200-person French industrial company wondering whether outsourcing your sales administration makes sense.

Structure, depth, and business register matter enormously here. You are the quality filter — if it would not be credible to a French executive, it does not ship.

Phase 3 — Distribution & Citation (weeks 6-7)

A great piece of content that no one links to or cites does not exist in search. Your job in this phase is to get Horyzon mentioned on the external sources that French buyers and AI tools use to verify providers. Complete Clutch and Kompass profiles in French with real case study language. Identify three to five French professional publications, industry associations, or business media where Horyzon could earn a citation or contributed placement. Produce a prioritized list with contacts and a suggested approach for each that we action together.

Phase 4 — Handover (week 8)

Document everything. What you found, what you built, what worked, what still needs to be done. Produce a 90-day continuation plan that is specific enough for someone with no prior context to pick up and execute. This document is treated with the same seriousness as the content asset itself.

The Profile We Need

You are a French native, currently studying in France at Bachelor final year or Master 1 level, in Business, Marketing, Communications, or International Management.

You write French at a professional business register. Not student French. Not social media French. The kind of French a DAF reads and does not wince at.

You are intellectually rigorous. The first two weeks of this internship are research and analysis, not production. You are comfortable producing structured written work before moving to execution.

You understand the French business landscape. You know what an ETI is, how French companies are structured, what les directions opérationnelles actually worry about, and how B2B purchasing decisions get made in France. This is not something we can teach you in 2 months.

You work in English comfortably.Internal communication, briefings, and coordination with the team are in English.

You do not need to be told what to do every day.You will have clear objectives, a weekly check-in, and direct access to the founder. Within that structure you are expected to manage your own time and flag blockers early.

What This Is Not

This is not a social media management role. It is not a translation job. It is not administrative support. If your expectation is to manage an Instagram calendar or translate existing English pages word for word, this is the wrong opportunity.

What You Get

You work directly with the founder of a growing international outsourcing firm. Your output ships  it will be live, representing the company in your home market. You leave with a portfolio piece that demonstrates strategic market research and senior B2B content development in a real commercial context. That is genuinely rare at this stage of a career.
