Business Partner

At agap2, the position of Business Partner is much more than a first professional experience: it’s a real career booster. It enables students to receive practical training for a future profession while taking on real responsibilities from the outset. This gradual immersion then paves the way for a permanent position, with all the keys in hand for rapid success, in particular those for the job of business engineer.

What you do in concrete terms

Available as an internship or as part of a work-study course (bachelor’s degree to Masters degree) for graduates of engineering or business schools, the position of Business Partner will enable you to play a key role in the development of agap2’s activities through various recruitment and Business Development assignments:

01
Participation in commercial development through recruitment
  • You will implement a recruitment strategy tailored to the commercial development of your business scope.
  • You will be involved in the entire recruitment process for engineering consultants in order to meet our customers’ needs: profile search, telephone prequalification, interviews, salary proposal, issue of the contract.
  • You will create and manage your network of candidates in order to anticipate future customer requirements.

02
A springboard to a career as a business engineer

A real springboard towards a position as a business engineer, combining recruitment, business development and management. You will be trained for this future profession by working directly with our business engineers to develop your skills in:

  • Analysis of your business sector and our customers’ needs
  • Taking part in customer meetings
  • Drawing up a sales strategy tailored to your business scope
  • And more generally, the entire sales process.
What we expect from you

As a Business Partner, you will work in a stimulating and demanding environment, at the heart of agap2’s people and business challenges.

Understanding and adaptation

Responsiveness and collaboration

The role is based in a fast-paced, hands-on environment, where priorities may change depending on projects and market conditions. You will learn to organise your work, manage several tasks simultaneously and respond quickly, whilst working closely with your team.

Valentin

“I started at agap2 on a work-study programme as a Business Partner, before moving on to become a Business Engineer. What I appreciated straight away was the trust that was shown, even when you’re still a student. At 22, I was still on a work-study course and already managing 8 consultants. The responsibilities are real. There’s a lot of training to be had in the field and the career prospects can be rapid for those who really throw themselves into it.”
