Job description

Dates : 30th of march to 20th of may (8 weeks)

As part of a partnership with Absolute Internship, Solinum will welcome an international student for this mission in march. We are now looking for her French counterpart to form a multicultural duo.

Your role: You will co-lead this European expansion study, acting as the local “bridge” to help your partner navigate the French context and documentation, while working together on the international roadmap.

Your Mission

1. Strategic Market Research

  • Country Analysis: Compare 5 European countries to identify the most favorable ecosystem for our services.

  • Deep-dive Study: For the chosen country, analyze the administrative structure, key poverty figures, and local social challenges.

2. Product & Field Adaptation

  • Mapping: Map 10 local social services in a target city to test how easily information can be found and identify where Soliguide can add value.

  • Database Alignment: Propose adaptations for our service categories to match local terminology while keeping our European database consistent.

3. Financial & Ecosystem Mapping

  • Stakeholder Mapping: Identify key NGOs and government agencies in the target country.

  • Funding Benchmark: Build a database of 15+ potential funders (Foundations, Corporate CSR, public grants) to support a future launch.

4. Marketing & Digital Presence

  • Communication Audit: Research how people in precarious situations access information in the target country.

  • Landing Page: Create a localized “Soliguide” landing page using Webflow to introduce the project to local partners.


Preferred experience

We are looking for a versatile and curious student who is excited about the intersection of social impact and international strategy.

  • Bilingual Skills: You are a native or fluent French speaker and are comfortable working, writing, and collaborating daily in English. You will act as a bridge for your international partner.

  • Analytical Mindset: You enjoy market research, data organization, and synthesizing complex information into clear reports.

  • Autonomy & Adaptability: You are a self-starter. As you will be mentored directly by the CEO, you need to be comfortable managing your time effectively and taking initiative.

  • Tech-Curious: You are ready to dive into tools like Notion, Airtable, and Slack. A willingness to learn basic Webflow (for the landing page project) is a major plus!

  • Social Commitment: You have a genuine interest in social innovation and the fight against poverty.


Recruitment process

  • Application: Please send your CV and a short Cover Letter (explaining why you are interested in social innovation and this international duo).

  • Screening Call: A 20-30 minute introductory phone or video call to discuss your profile, your English level, and the mission details.

  • Final Interview (Optional): Depending on your location and availability, a face-to-face meeting at our Paris office to meet the team and see your future workspace.
