Application Guide
How to Apply for Head of content - EdTech (French fluent 🇫🇷)
at Paradox
🏢 About Paradox
Paradox is an EdTech company that blends personal branding with institutional growth, led by influencer David Laroche. It operates remotely with hubs in Dubai and Lisbon, and has a non-profit foundation, making it a purpose-driven, global team.
About This Role
As Head of Content, you'll architect a dual-brand strategy: scaling David Laroche's personal influence while building Paradox as an independent company brand. You'll disrupt conventional content by creating a movement, not just a calendar, and have freedom to execute bold ideas immediately.
💡 A Day in the Life
Your day might start with a virtual brainstorm with the Dubai team on a disruptive campaign, then script a video for David Laroche's personal channel. After lunch, you'd review analytics for both brands and ideate a partnership that bridges the two, ending with a sync with the Lisbon office on the next month's content calendar.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Paradox Is Looking For
- Fluent in French and English, with deep understanding of French-speaking and international content landscapes.
- Strategic brand architect who can balance personal brand growth with institutional brand building.
- Creative disruptor who hates 'best practices' and constantly seeks 'Purple Cow' ideas that challenge industry norms.
- Hands-on doer with taste: you script, drive, and ship content, not just ideate in meetings.
📝 Tips for Applying to Paradox
Highlight experience managing both a personal brand and a company brand simultaneously, with concrete examples.
Showcase a portfolio of unconventional, high-impact content campaigns that went beyond typical social media calendars.
Demonstrate fluency in French and English by submitting application materials in both languages.
