Role
Who you are
- Looking for 1 year apprenticeship starting in October 2026 (possibility to start in September if required by the school)
- English and French are no-brainers (fully professional capability). If you’re extra cool and speak any other language, bonus points for you!
- You are genuinely curious about what's happening in the world: you follow the news, scroll with intention, and have a nose for the topics and trends that matter
- Ideally you already have a first experience in communications (external or internal) or public relations/media relations
- Strong writing skills (French and English) that demonstrate both professionalism and approachability
- You have the ability to synthesize a wide variety of subjects
- You have excellent communication skills, are proactive and you have a high capacity to federate and work with transversal teams
- Demonstrated time management, organizational & project prioritization skills
- Contract: You must already be enrolled in a Work-study program in a French school (contrat d’alternance/ d’apprentissage)
- We know that the perfect background for a role doesn’t mean the perfect fit — we encourage you to apply for a role even if you think you may not have all the qualifications

Our take
At a time when new smartphones launch frequently but with fewer new features and when individuals want to contribute to sustainability and the circular economy, Back Market is setting out to provide customers with a viable option of purchasing refurbished electronics goods.
The vision of the company is to become the default choice when it comes to electronics purchases, irrespective of the customers' budget. In order to materialise this vision, Back Market guarantees that all the devices sold on its platform are 100% functional. The company screens sellers before allowing them to join its platform and it monitors their performance in real-time by collecting detailed customer feedback. By doing this, it hopes to restore trust in refurbished devices and to make sustainability an easy, safe, and affordable choice.
Back Market operates in 17 counties and has a client roster that includes Netflix, Disney, BBC, Sony, and Apple. The company has also raised over $1 billion in capital, which has been invested in expansion across new and current markets. And with the recommerce market only growing, Back Market has a lot of room for exciting future growth.
