About
Swan is the leading European fintech specialized in embedded banking. A laureate of the French government’s selective year list of tech champions, “French Tech Next 120,” we are quickly expanding across Europe.
Over 100 European companies have already seamlessly integrated banking services such as accounts, cards, and payments into their products through our Banking-as-a-Service platform. This approach, known as “embedded finance”, empowers businesses to elevate their offerings and create new revenue streams — often times tripling their revenue!
Our founders’ vision from the beginning was Simplicity: that anyone with a fintech idea at 2 am can visit our website, start building, and buy themselves a coffee with a self-issued card the very next day. That vision has taken us far.
Following a 38M€ Series B round last September, we have been doubling our headcount and already have over 230 Swanees across offices in Paris, Bordeaux, Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Milan! If you’re excited about joining a European fintech adventure, Swan is the way!

Job description
Swan is looking for a Growth apprentice in Paris to support our Go-To-Market for a 1-year apprenticeship starting in September. You will join a multi-disciplinary team with the mission to accelerate Swan’s Go-To-Market with innovative strategies.
We are looking for someone with strong business acumen and a builder mindset (technical skills are a plus). This role is best suited to a curious and proactive person, someone who is willing to learn and is comfortable with experimenting over and over again.
You will support the team on our existing processes, data, and automation to make sure that they run smoothly on a day-to-day basis. Next to that, you’ll use your technical expertise to co-build our growth engine vision: finding and contacting the right company, at the right time, with the right message.
✨ Your mission
- Develop from scratch new outbound strategies (email/LinkedIn campaigns/gifts program…) to create memorable experiences for our prospects and drive pipeline generation.
- You will learn to use tools like Lemlist and Clay
- Assist our AEs and SDRs who are going to events by providing them with attendees lists, and pre/post-event outbound sequences.
- You will learn how to extract data across various websites, clean and enrich prospect lists
- Build our lead generation infrastructure based on intent signals, customers’ verticals, and geographies
- You will learn about data infrastructure, get your hands into Snowflake, HubSpot and get to know various data enrichment API providers
- Support less technical teams across the organization by building automation or custom internal tools to facilitate their work
- You will get proficient in n8n, Airtable, and API integration
✨ Your team
You will work closely with Maxence & Vincent, Growth Ops and Growth Lead at Swan. As their responsibilities are quite broad, you will also be regularly in touch with the whole Marketing team, as well as members of the Sales team (Rev Ops, SDRs, AEs)
Preferred experience
✨ You’re a great match if:
- You are looking for a 1-year apprenticeship
- You have experience in fast-paced environments like startups (fintech experience is a plus), VC firms, strategy consulting, or similar fields.
- You’re proactive, eager to bring solutions, and willing to roll up your sleeves: in the growth team, we brainstorm ideas for 30 minutes and then work until we bring them to life.
- You speak and write fluent English. French is a plus, but as we consider ourselves as a European company, it’s not mandatory.
- You already have some experience using automation tools (n8n, Make), scrappers, and no-code tools.
- You are willing to relocate and spend your internship in our Parisian office
- Our ideal teammate: Empathetic. Skilled. Frank. We love to challenge each other, and we leave our egos at the door.
It’s okay if you don’t tick all the boxes — don’t let imposter syndrome prevent you from applying! 🙌
