Job Description
Location
Paris (Station F), hybrid, or partially remote (CET timezone)
Mission
We’re looking for a high-potential intern — smart, curious, hands-on — to support our core operations during this high-growth phase.
You’ll work closely with our COO Gabriel and our Chief of Staff Constantin on strategic and operational topics across the business.
This is a very operational role : while you’ll gain broad exposure to how a crypto startup works, you should expect a significant share of ****execution-focused tasks alongside more strategic projects.
Example Missions
·
Support client onboarding & day-to-day operations across token issuers, CEXs, and partners
·
Manage operational admin: payments (fiat & crypto), invoicing, financial reporting
·
Execute operational processes with precision and consistency (CRM updates, invoice matching, documentation, data entry, etc.)
·
Contribute to internal project management and cross-functional coordination
·
Automate workflows using Notion, Make, Zapier, etc.
·
Maintain and organize internal tools & databases (access control, shared drives, tooling)
·
Assist with operational risk & security management
·
Support HR & admin processes, including recurring internal tasks and follow-ups
You’ll have a 360 view of how a crypto startup operates — from strategic discussions to the nitty-gritty of keeping the engine running. If you enjoy problem-solving but are also comfortable with operations, detail-oriented work, this role will be a great fit.
Career Development opportunities
·
Possibility to have a lot of weight over how we do things - we are still a young company
