A quick word before the mission. Sales is the #1 skill of every great entrepreneur. It’s the ability to walk into a room, understand someone’s problem, and answer it with a solution, face to face. This is hardly automatable. AI won’t replace the person who earns trust across a table. If you want to build companies one day, this is where you learn the foundation.

As a Field Sales, you will:

• Meet restaurant owners and managers across Paris and close them. Independents and small groups (1-10 locations) who know their social media is broken but don’t know how to fix it. How you get in front of them is up to you: walk-ins, calls, LinkedIn, networking, referrals, whatever works. The goal is signed contracts.

• Run the full sales cycle. From first conversation to signed deal. Prospecting, pitching, handling objections, closing, and onboarding. You own the entire process.

• Build the sales playbook. This is a new channel for OCUS, there’s no established script. Which neighborhoods have the most potential? What pitch resonates? What objection kills the deal? You’ll test, learn, and document what works so the next person can build on it.

• Track your numbers and optimize. Pitches made, demos given, deals closed. You’ll set weekly targets with the team and iterate on your approach based on real data.

• Become an expert on restaurant social media. Understand the structural problems restaurants face, frequency, brand consistency, trend speed, production cost, local activation, and articulate how Ocus Viral solves them in 30 seconds.

• Feed field intelligence back to the team. What are restaurant owners actually saying? What do they care about? What surprises you? Your insights directly shape how we build the product and go to market.

• Work alongside PMs, AMs, and the tech team.

You’re not alone, you’re embedded in a 40-person company. You’ll debrief with Product Managers on what restaurants need, sync with Account Managers on onboarding, and collaborate with the tech team on how the product evolves. You’ll learn how a startup operates end-to-end, not just the sales slice.

We’re looking for 2-3 people who genuinely want to sell, and who see sales as a
craft worth mastering.

• You enjoy talking to people and persuading them. Not the theory, the practice. If you’ve ever sold anything (side hustles, fundraising, market stalls,
  student projects), tell us about it.

• You’re resilient. Rejection is part of the job. You process it fast and
  move on to the next conversation.

• You’re autonomous and resourceful. You organize your own days,
  find your own leads, and figure things out. Extreme agency is the #1 trait we hire at OCUS.

• You’re curious about food, restaurants, or social media. You don’t
  need to be an expert, but genuine interest makes a real difference in the field.

• You speak French fluently (you’ll be pitching restaurant owners in
  Paris) and English fluently (OCUS operates in English internally).

• You’re available for 6 months starting April 2026 (convention de
  stage required).

Bonus points:

• You’ve done any kind of face-to-face or field selling before.

• You know the Paris restaurant scene, neighborhoods, trends, who’s
  growing.

• You’ve worked in a startup or built something yourself.

• Call #1 with our CEO, Thibaud Lemonnier. We’ll talk about what
  you’ve done, how you think about sales, and why this role excites you.

• Call #2 with a team member to do a practical case.

  If we like each other, you start!

Why this role is different
This isn’t a “get coffee and update the CRM” internship. You’ll be in the field every day, opening a new sales channel for a proven company launching a new product. You’ll close real deals with real revenue impact. You’ll report directly to the CEO, learn from senior PMs, AMs, and engineers, and see how every part of a company connects, from field sales to product to tech. And if you’re great at it, this becomes a full-time role.
