Legal Operations Intern

H exists to push the boundaries of superintelligence with agentic AI. By automating complex, multi-step tasks typically performed by humans, AI agents will help unlock full human potential.

H is hiring the world’s best AI talent, seeking those who are dedicated as much to building safely and responsibly as to advancing disruptive agentic capabilities. We promote a mindset of openness, learning, and collaboration, where everyone has something to contribute.

Our Legal team, based in Paris, supports every deal, hire and partnership at H. As requests grow, we want legal work to run on clear processes and good tools rather than on inboxes. You will be the front door for legal requests, run the contract lifecycle day to day, and above all build the tooling and automations that let the team move faster. You will report to our General Counsel.

This is a 6 month internship, open to EFB (Barreau de Paris) students completing their PPI, or to recent graduates of an M2 in business law.
