Job Description

Who We Are

Zefir is building an AI autopilot for home sales in Europe, starting in France: an AI agent runs the entire sale and purchase journey end-to-end, orchestrating local brokers, portals, buyers, and documents.

Backed by over $55 million from top-tier investors like Sequoia Capital, we're committed to accelerating life changes for millions of current and future European homeowners.

Responsibilities

👉 Scaling Infrastructure & Company Rhythm (40%)

  • Company Rituals: Own the end-to-end preparation of visual assets (slide decks) and content structuring for Zefir’s key alignment milestones: from Weekly Company Meetings to monthly and quarterly All-Hands.

  • Goal Setting & OKRs: Coordinate the quarterly objective-setting process by driving alignment and collecting OKRs/Targets across all teams and functions.

  • KPI Management: Maintain and optimize performance dashboards to ensure the CEO has clear visibility into strategic execution.

👉 Cross-Functional Projects & Special Initiatives (40%)

  • End-to-End Project Ownership: Scope, drive, and deliver cross-functional projects tailored to current business priorities (e.g., process optimization, internal tooling revamps). You will be fully responsible for aligning stakeholders and submitting actionable recommendations to the CEO.

  • Support to Enablement Teams (HR, Legal, Finance):

    • HR & Legal: Partner with our Senior HRBP to deploy foundational company-wide projects (e.g., implementation of the internal rules / règlement intérieur) and support internal event management (team events, company culture highlights).

    • Finance: Provide ad-hoc analytical support and assist in preparing high-stakes presentations (e.g., Board meetings).

👉 Internal Communication & CEO Exposure (20%)

  • Internal Comms: Design and animate internal communication channels to maintain high levels of clarity, alignment, and engagement across all teams.

  • CEO Support: Assist the CEO in drafting or structuring key communications (both internal announcements and occasional external ecosystem touchpoints).

Profile & Requirements

  • Available to start in October 2026, for a 6-month internship

  • Top Education: You are currently pursuing a Master’s degree (Gap year or End-of-studies) from a Top-tier Business/Engineering School

  • First Experience: You preferably have a first successful internship in a Venture Capital (VC) fund, Corporate Finance, Strategy Consulting, or Business Operations (Ops).

  • Communication & Structure: You are highly organized and can handle multiple challenging deadlines at once. Your synthesis skills are formidable, allowing you to build clear, visually compelling presentations.

  • Analytical Mindset: You possess a strong analytical appetite, comfortable manipulation of data, and the ability to turn numbers into structured, logical business recommendations.

  • Languages: Excellent communication skills with full fluency (bilingual or fluent) in both English and French is strictly required.

The following is for permanent employees only. For other contracts (interns, apprentices, fixed-term..), please, check with your recruiter.

  • Competitive salary: You can run your own simulation with our salary calculator.
