About ZNTH
ZNTH is a creative nonprofit and cultural organization based in Paris, building a new kind of creative ecosystem through fashion, art, film, design, photography, music, architecture, philosophy, and community.
Rather than simply organizing events, we’re building an organization that brings together emerging creatives, institutions, brands, cultural organizations, and communities through experiences, collaborations, educational programming, and creative projects.
Our first event, Salon001: I ♥ Fashion, brought together designers, photographers, filmmakers, artists, writers, and creatives during Paris Fashion Week. We’re now building the systems, partnerships, and team to grow ZNTH into a long-term international organization.

About the Role
We’re looking for an Executive Operations Intern to work directly with ZNTH’s founder.
This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants to experience what it’s like to build a creative organization from the ground up.
You’ll be involved in nearly every aspect of the organization, from helping prepare meetings with designers and cultural institutions to keeping projects organized, following up with collaborators, improving internal systems, coordinating the team, and helping ensure that ideas actually become reality.
You’ll see how strategy turns into execution.

One day you might be helping organize Paris Fashion Week programming.
The next you could be preparing partnership meetings, organizing grant deadlines, coordinating volunteers, documenting internal systems, or helping plan ZNTH’s next creative project.
If you enjoy solving problems, organizing complex projects, and working closely with a founder, you’ll thrive in this role.
