Stage - Strategic Projects Analyst - Horlogerie Joaillerie - Septembre 2026 - H/F/X

About the role 

The Watches & Fine Jewelry Division operates in a complex, fast-evolving environment that requires strong strategic alignment across Regions, Markets, and Corporate functions. As cross-functional initiatives multiply, the Division continuously sharpens its Strategic Planning and governance cycle to ensure clear prioritization and a shared understanding of strategic objectives. Within the CEO Office of the WFJ Division, the Strategic Planning & Governance team animates this cycle, steers key transversal projects, and ensures alignment across the Division's leadership. 

Reporting to the Director of Strategic Planning & Governance, the Strategic Projects Analyst contributes to the coordination of the Division's governance moments and supports key strategic and cross-functional projects, in close collaboration with teams across Marketing, Communications, Finance, Markets, Operations, and Image. 

This internship sits at the heart of a high-trust environment: close to senior leadership, exposed to sensitive data, and embedded in a team where attention to detail, discretion, and reliability are non-negotiable.
