The editorial team at Contexte is committed to producing political information that is independent, rigorous, structured, and accessible. The goal is to empower public policy professionals to take action.
Our objective is to deliver expert, granular, and well-organised information. It's in-depth reporting that is focused on utility rather than influence. This is provided through clear briefings, precise analysis, and relevant tracking tools—all designed to be useful both immediately and in the long term.
Within a close-knit editorial team, our shared values combine high standards with kindness, autonomy, trust, and a clear collective framework.
Our ambition is to be both a demanding editorial product and a technological product, all designed to better serve democracy.
Meet Clémentine, Managing Editor
A journalist should report on and analyse facts, not explain what they think about them. With this conviction as my compass, I have spent the last 12 years developing the publication as the co-founder and editorial director of Contexte.
I hold a master's degree in civil law, am a graduate of the French Press Institute, and have a postgraduate diploma in European journalism. I am also a member of the European Young Leaders network.
As a journalist specialising in European affairs, I began my career in Brussels, where I became convinced that in-depth political journalism requires a detailed understanding of both the legal texts and the people who truly hold power.
Meet Nezim, Reporter
I joined Contexte's Energy edition in Paris in March 2022, following an internship in the "Pouvoirs" (Politics) edition and a period of freelance work.
After attending the College of Europe in Warsaw from 2019-2020, I also earned a Master's degree in European Studies from the University Sorbonne Nouvelle.
During an advocacy internship with the NGO Transparency International France, I worked on their campaign for the 2019 European elections.
Building long-term, trusting relationships with our clients and ensuring the growth of Contexte in France and internationally—these are the primary goals of our commercial team.
Working in close collaboration with the marketing and product teams, we support decision-makers in their day-to-day challenges and offer solutions tailored to their needs.
Driven by our passion for technology, we continuously optimise our sales and customer retention processes by leveraging the best digital strategies.
This approach allows us to improve efficiency, offer a smooth and personalised customer experience, and sustainably strengthen Contexte's commercial impact.
Meet Florine, Team Lead Key Account
My name is Florine, I'm 30, and I'm Team Lead Key Account Manager at Contexte.
I joined the company two and a half years ago as Customer Success Team Manager before taking on responsibility for Key Accounts.
My role is to retain our strategic clients, structure our commercial approach, and develop new opportunities.
A graduate of Kedge Business School, I started my career at Skello as a Business Developer and then at Booky as a Team Lead Account Manager.
I am an optimistic and dynamic person, always motivated to create value for our clients and with 10,000 ideas a second to always offer something better!
The team works to build brand awareness and drive growth for the publication in France and Europe. In close collaboration with the sales, product, and editorial teams, they design initiatives that promote our offerings and brand around a single promise: in-depth information.
Structured into four complementary areas—Brand, Product Marketing, Growth, and RevOps—the team increases Contexte's visibility and brand recognition, defines product positioning, identifies the target audience, and determines when and how to reach them. They implement campaigns to encourage product adoption and use, and develop acquisition and retention strategies that ensure the company's growth.
Their main goal is to establish Contexte as the leading European publication for public affairs.
The Product team's role is to optimise the user experience and commercial value. They define and implement the product strategy, prioritise development, and ensure alignment with our editorial and business goals.
Contexte is an organisation with a strong product culture. This means we place the user experience at the heart of our design choices, and Product Managers are responsible for building their own roadmaps based on semi-annual or annual strategic objectives.
The mission of the HR team at Contexte is to create and maintain a clear, fair, and inspiring environment that allows everyone to excel in their role while contributing to a strong, committed company culture.
We act as both a facilitator and a support system, serving our employees and collective performance by anticipating needs and guiding the company's transformation.
