Your Impact:

Parfums Christian Dior is implementing an ambitious strategy focused on direct and omnichannel distribution. Data is at the heart of this transformation, and a Data Science team was created 5 years ago.

The impact of data and AI (including Agentic AI) is now proven.

Key achievements to date:

• Cutting-edge technological stack in place (based on GCP, Dataiku, and Python)
• Dozens of algorithms developed with over 50 associated use cases (in Customer, Digital, Retail, Supply Chain domains, among others) across about fifty countries: hyper-targeted and hyper-personalized customer communications (e.g., product recommendations, automatic repurchase cycles or anti-churn, identification of high-value prospects), forecast models, etc.
• Generative & Agentic AI application cases developed in-house and in production

The Data Science team reports to the Data & AI Office. It is composed of a Manager, 3 Data Scientists, and a Machine Learning Engineer.

Its main objectives are as follows:

• Deliver new Data Science use cases with high added value
• Deliver new Generative/Agentic AI applications with a high business impact
• Capitalize on existing algorithms by optimizing them (adding new data, testing new approaches, etc.) and monitoring them to prevent any drift
• Scale use cases to a wider population of users and markets

To achieve this ambition, the Data Science team is looking for an Intern Data Scientist.

The Data Science Intern will work closely with the Data Scientists and the Machine Learning Engineer.

They will participate in stimulating AI projects, with a clear objective: to design concrete AI solutions intended for deployment in production and use by business teams.

Their main missions will be as follows:

• Work primarily on at least one internship topic:
  • Development of a new algorithm or a new Generative/Agentic AI application (chatbot, optimization of a business process, etc.)
  • Scaling of existing AI solutions to other scopes or markets
• Support Data Scientists on some of their topics: contribution to the optimization of existing models, testing of new state-of-the-art approaches, and technological watch
• Support the Machine Learning Engineer on some of their topics: industrialization and deployment of AI use cases and applications, design of monitoring tools and documentation

• The responsibilities described in this job description are subject to change based on company needs and ongoing projects.

• You are pursuing a degree at a top Engineering School with a specialization in Data Science/AI or an equivalent university program
• You are looking for a gap year internship (between the 2nd and 3rd year of engineering school) or a final study internship
• Ideally, you already have professional experience in Data Science / AI, beyond academic projects
• You are curious and rigorous, with a strong interest in solving concrete AI problems
• You speak French and English fluently (working language).

You possess these six behavioral competencies that align with our values:

Create with Passion:

Ingenuity

Conquer with Audacity:

Critical Thinking

Excel for Ultimate Luxury:

Attention to Detail

Professional Rigor

Analytical Mindset

Commit to Enchant the World:

Problem Solving

Technical Skills:

• You have good theoretical and practical knowledge in Data Science / AI: supervised and unsupervised Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Time Series Forecast, Generative AI (LLMs), etc.
• You master the Python programming language (with major libraries such as pandas, scikit-learn) and SQL.
• You have experience with LLM / agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, Google ADK or equivalent).
• You have experience using collaborative development platforms like Github and task management tools like Trello.
• You have experience with Cloud platforms (ideally GCP).
• You have ideally worked with Dataiku before.

Inclusion is not just a noble principle, but the very foundation of our excellence. In a world where our customers, our talents, and our ideas come from increasingly diverse backgrounds, our diversity is our strength.

At Parfums Christian Dior, this translates into a House where everyone feels respected, welcomed, and valued, regardless of their uniqueness. We are convinced that a House that reflects this diversity is a sustainable and dynamic House, firmly rooted in both dream and reality.

Inclusion is not decreed; it is lived daily. And thanks to our employees, we are making concrete progress: every day, we are committed to opening our doors to talents from various backgrounds.

Behavioral and technical skills you will develop in this role:

• A formative role in an ambitious environment, with daily learning opportunities and passionate team members.
• Stimulating AI topics at the forefront of current trends in Data Science and AI.
• Rapid personal development through continuous mentoring.

Career development prospects from this role (as an example):

• Junior Data Scientist

Submit your application via our website. A recruiter will review your file. If your qualifications match the requirements defined by the Hiring Manager, you will be contacted for an initial interview with Human Resources. Subsequently, you will be contacted for a recruitment day or an individual interview with the team.

This internship must be covered by an internship agreement.

Christian Dior described himself as a fashion and perfume designer. The House of Dior, founded in 1946, changed the face of ladies' style forever when its New Look was unveiled in the halls of 30 Avenue Montaigne on February 12, 1947. The revolutionary look was accompanied by a fragrance, Miss Dior, the finishing touch designed to "leave a trail of desire in a woman's wake". This timeless perfume was the first fragrance created by a visionary brand which invented the concept of global beauty with its Rouge Dior and subsequent cosmetic lines.

The current-day trustees of this legendary expertise – Francis Kurkdjian, Perfume Creation Director, and Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup – are the heirs to Christian Dior's perfectionism. The worldwide renown of the House's creations is partly down to its seductive muses, including Charlize Theron, Natalie Portman and Robert Pattinson.
