We are looking for a versatile, proactive Business Development & Account Manager Project Intern to join our Paris Key Account team.

• Onboarding & Execution: Lead the end-to-end onboarding process (registration, technical setup, product listing). You are the "problem solver" who ensures a smooth landing for our partners.
• Growth Management (AM): Act as the daily point of contact for onboarded sellers. Analyze their performance data, suggest optimization strategies, and help them scale their GMV.
• Daily Operations: Coordinate with cross-functional teams (Logistics, Governance, Marketing) to resolve seller pain points and ensure operational excellence.
• Market Insight: Stay ahead of French E-commerce trends and competitor moves to refine our local pitch.
