Junior Production Manager – 6 Month FTC

Who are Smartbox?
With more than 3.5 million gift sets sold each year in France and Europe, Smartbox group is the European leader in experience gifts.
For nearly 20 years, we have been developing thousands of experiences to offer and as many great moments to live. From the most iconic to the most unusual, Smartbox's mission is to allow everyone to offer their loved ones the possibility of living unique experiences.
Smartbox is a gift with a difference, one that celebrates the growing value of the real experience, both increasingly rare and increasingly precious to the French. Especially among young people, for whom life is also digital, the real experience is increasingly sought after when the acquisition of material goods makes less and less sense.
Offering a Smartbox means offering sensations. Alone or with a partner, with family or friends, whether the experience is exciting, enriching, soothing, surprising, or delicious, whether it is lived close to home or whether it allows you to discover new horizons, Smartbox offers the emotion of a moment lived.
Smartbox is a ready-to-give experience that can be found on our website smartbox.com, at our online partners and in more than 17,500 points of sale, Smartbox boutiques, department stores, supermarkets and specialist retailers.
