  • Manage, evaluate, and grow your teams in a demanding, collaborative, and empowering environment.
  • International travel is to be expected, at a rate of approximately two missions per year for two weeks, notably in the Pacific, Africa, and Asia zones.

You are the ideal candidate if:

  • You hold a Master's degree (Bac+5) - business school, engineering school, university, or professional equivalent (ITB, CESB.).
