Our Data team has already reached a high level of maturity: dozens of models and solutions are running live in production, powering our application and shaping decisions across every department of the company. This is your chance to join a team where Data is not a side support, but a real game changer at the heart of our product.

YOUR ROLE WITHIN BETCLIC

As a Data Science Intern at Betclic, you will have the opportunity to contribute to some of our most impactful projects. You will work on real-world challenges where advanced modeling meets business needs, with a strong focus on interpretability and clear communication of results.

Your missions will include:

- Experimenting with recommendation systems to improve personalization in our Sport and Casino apps, while ensuring that models remain interpretable and actionable for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Exploring forecasting approaches to better understand and anticipate the impact of the sports calendar, helping business teams plan and optimize key decisions.

- Developing and testing models for customer Lifetime Value (LTV) prediction, providing insights that support acquisition, retention and more.

- Collaborating with Data Scientists, Product Owners and business teams to align models with operational needs and ensure results drive measurable impact.

This internship will give you the chance to explore a variety of topics in applied Machine Learning, while contributing to projects with direct business relevance.

- You are currently enrolled in or have recently completed a Master's degree (or equivalent) in Data Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related field, and are looking for either a final-year internship, a gap-year internship, or an apprenticeship to further develop your skills.

- Have strong analytical skills, with rigor, autonomy, and the ability to synthesize insights.

- Are proficient in Python and have a good understanding of SQL.

- Want to grow your skills in communication and presentation, making complex models easy to understand.

Nice to have:

- Previous exposure to recommendation systems, forecasting, or customer analytics (e.g., LTV modeling).

- An interest in sports or gaming industries is appreciated, but not required.
