Founder Associate to the CEO Intern

OUR TEAM SHARED’S MISSION IS DEPLOY AI AGENTS TO TRANSFORM HOW PATIENTS AND DOCTORS CONNECT

We believe healthcare shouldn’t be defined by missed calls, endless waiting lines, and overwhelmed staff. Patients and professionals deserve better.

Vocca builds AI voice agents that answer every call instantly, schedule and reschedule appointments, and free up staff to focus on what matters most: care.

Already trusted by 15 000+ providers, we’re transforming the patient–provider relationship, one call at a time.

Context

Vocca builds AI voice agents that answer patient calls, book and reschedule appointments, and free up time for medical teams. Following our $20M Series A, we are a team of 50+ across Paris and New York, and 250 healthcare organizations use Vocca.

Eliott (CEO) and Hugo (CTO) have more topics to open than time to work on them: the US launch, new verticals, new countries, a finance function to structure. Maxime, our Chief of Staff, turns their priorities into projects, and his own scope is growing fast.

We are opening a Founder Associate internship to give them leverage. You report to Maxime and work on the founders' priorities, in daily contact with the three of them. The role is open to business and engineering profiles.

Your mission

Take on the topics Eliott and Hugo cannot dig into themselves and bring each one to a result they can use: a quantified recommendation they can decide on, a model or a process the team works with, or an experiment with measured results.

Expected outcomes

After 1 month

• You know the product, our customers and how each team works, in France and in the US
• You have delivered a first project from start to finish, scoped with Maxime

After 3 months

• The US sales team works from a target account list you built from our usage data, with the enablement material that goes with it
• You have presented a first quantified market study to the founders (a new vertical or a new country): sizing, segmentation and a go or no-go recommendation
• The Chief of Staff team uses a financial model you built, on unit economics or on an expansion scenario

After 6 months

• You run two or three recurring topics on your own
• You have designed and run at least one growth experiment, from hypothesis to a statistical reading of the results, with a recommendation to scale or stop
• At least one of your recommendations has become a company decision

What you will work on

You cannot list everything a Founder Associate does. This is what your day-to-day looks like.

Market exploration

• Run quantified studies on new verticals and new countries: market sizing, segmentation, go-to-market modeling
• Run product and competitive benchmarks
• Bring structured recommendations back to the founders

Growth and US sales enablement

• Design growth experiments and measure them: hypotheses, metrics, statistical reading of the results
• Build target account and call lists for the US team from our usage data
• Produce the enablement material the sales team needs

Finance structuring

• Build financial models with Maxime: unit economics, expansion scenarios, sensitivity to pricing assumptions
• Build the reports used to steer the company
• Run the analyses the founders need to make a decision

Public affairs

• Follow the regulation of AI in healthcare and the public debate around it, and flag what affects us
• Map the public bodies, health authorities and professional organizations that matter for Vocca, in France and in the US
• Prepare the founders' meetings with them: briefs, position notes, follow-ups

Founder branding

• Make Eliott and Hugo known and listened to in two communities: the healthcare professionals who buy Vocca, and the talent we want to hire
• Run their content with them: LinkedIn posts, talks, events
• Track what works with each audience and adjust

Ops playbook, depending on your profile

Depending on what you thrive in, business, engineering or something else, you can also take ownership of pieces of our Ops playbook: the process by which we deploy a voice agent in a new clinic, from configuration to go-live.

• Map each step and instrument it with the right data
• Find where time and quality are lost
• Redesign the process so it scales from hundreds to thousands of sites without growing the team at the same rate

Beyond this list

Depending on what you are good at and what you want to learn, you will pick up other topics: recruiting, internal operations, internal communication.

This role is for you IF

Requirements

• You are in your final year at a top-tier engineering or business school and looking for a 6-month end-of-studies internship starting in January 2027
• You have already built something: you ran a student society, launched a project, or worked in a demanding environment such as a startup, a bank or a consulting firm
• You are fluent in French and English

What we will assess

• You understand fast, and you can turn a vague question into a structured answer with a recommendation
• You have strong business sense. You will work with the founders and Maxime every day
• You are at ease with numbers and data: you can build a model, size a market and read the results of an experiment
• You are very autonomous and organized. You manage up: you say what you need, raise blockers early and follow up without being asked
• You are entrepreneurial. You know the startup world, you love tech, and you want to start a company one day
• You are AI literate and understand how an AI product works
• You break silos: you move easily between teams in Paris and New York
• You keep asking how you could do better and have more impact

Nice to have: programming notions, which help on the Ops playbook.

This role is NOT for you IF

• You want a fixed scope. Your topics will change with the company's priorities
• You only want to work on strategy. A good part of the job is execution: building models and lists, running experiments, keeping a report up to date
• You need close supervision to move forward

After the internship

We built this internship as a way into Vocca. If it goes well, we want you to stay full time, in a role we define together based on what you did best.

Compensation and benefits

• €2,000 gross per month
• 6-month end-of-studies internship (convention de stage), starting January 2027
• Based at our Paris office (2nd arrondissement), with possible trips to our New York office paid by the company
• MacBook provided
• Meal vouchers and 50% of your Navigo pass covered
• Annual offsite and team events throughout the year

Hiring process

1. Video call with our Talent Acquisition team (30 min)
2. Video interview with Maxime, Chief of Staff (30 min)
3. On-site business case with Maxime (1h)
4. On-site meeting with Eliott, CEO, and/or Hugo, CTO, followed by a coffee with the team (1h)
5. Offer

We aim to keep the process within 30 days. You’ll receive continuous feedback throughout.

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN VOCCA?

• An entrepreneurial adventure, with a supportive, high-energy, execution-focused team
• A product already live, with delighted customers in a fast-growing market (healthcare automation, voice AI)
• A true scaling phase, with everything still to build
• Real responsibilities from day one
