DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF?

If you dream of a life that feels more like an adventure with its twists and turns and challenges rather than a mapped out and stable life, then this job is for you.

Must have

• Strong sense of service: You love to make life easier for others.
• Drive: You work hard because you love it, you own things and get them done.
• Problem Solver: You love to execute and to make things happen, adapting your approach (influence, aggressiveness, smiling attitude, research…).
• Thrive in chaos: You anticipate needs, don’t need to be told what to do, are flexible and able to quickly react to last-minute changes.
• Digital savvy: We are quite obsessed with new digital tools.
• Growth over Ego: You are eager to learn, and receive hard feedback to grow. You let others speak and seek to understand their viewpoints.
• Attention to detail: You always seek excellence in everything you do.
• Project management skills: Multi-tasking and prioritizing are your middle names.
• Experience in a fast pace environment.
• Professional discretion: You make it a priority to respect confidentiality.
• Fluent in English (you can handle a conversation on specific details with English-speaking colleagues): Our chosen language for written communication is English. Currently, 10% of the team are not French speakers, and that percentage will continue to grow!
  
  

THIS JOB MIGHT NOT BE FOR YOU IF…

• You don’t like to be challenged and grow in your job
• You don’t usually try to improve the processes in place: if they are here, there is a reason
• You like to have very specific tasks assigned to you that won’t evolve in the course of a year
• You like to be told what to do or how to do something on a daily basis
• None of the following reflects your personal interests: personal development / coaching / professional growth / education / edtech / teaching / edutainment / impact startups
• Your only driver is joining a full-remote company or getting a visa to work in Dubaï: yes, our company culture is cool, but we want people to care about our mission, products, and their job

Who We Are

We believe self-help is broken.

Most learning platforms fail : generic theories, short-term motivation, little real change.

At Paradox, we believe people deserve more

They deserve a system that knows them, one that adapts, challenges, and grows with them through AI personalization, lean experimentation, and deep psychological understanding.

Personal development shouldn’t just make you feel motivated for a day, it should change how you think, create and live.

OUR VISION

At Paradox, we want to re-invent how people grow.

We do not build another course or coaching app but the Operating System for Greatness.

Founded by David Laroche, followed by over 2M+ people and known for his interviews with icons like Tony Parker, Mike Horn, Richard Branson, and Gad Elmaleh, Paradox aims to build something that will live beyond any individual (including its founder), for decades to come.

Our ambition is to compete with players like Mindvalley but with a sharper vision, grounded protocols for achievers, people who want more for their life, refusing mediocrity.

To do that, we bring together designers, tech, coaches, and filmmakers to create learning experiences that are cinematic, precise, and effective.

We move fast, aim high, and hold ourselves to the standards of Apple, Spotify, and MasterClass. No fluff, focused on meaningful impact.

While others hide their numbers, we want to let our results speak loudly for us.

Get obsessed with transforming our clients’ lives and let those transformations be our marketing.

And that's where you come in.
