Owkin

Owkin's early-career hiring runs through Paris-based internships rather than a named graduate scheme. The careers page requires candidates to be enrolled at a university with a "Convention de Stage," on-site five days a week, in placements it says should "ideally" run at least five months against a six-month legal cap; specific role postings (machine learning, partnerships, data operations) have advertised durations up to twelve months.

With no single cohort intake or fixed start date, a candidate tracks individual role postings rather than one recruiting season, and has to line up their own university placement paperwork against whatever window a specific opening runs on.

No. Owkin's careers page requires interns to already hold "a valid work permit for the entire duration of the internship" before applying, and the firm's own internship postings state directly that Owkin does not provide visa sponsorship or relocation support for internship roles. Internships also require in-person attendance at the Paris office five days a week; some roles have accepted either French or UK work authorization.

For an international student without existing work authorization in one of those countries, the internship track is closed regardless of the strength of the application, which narrows the realistic candidate pool to those who can already work there before they apply.

Owkin licenses its K Pro AI platform directly into large pharma R&D workflows rather than selling software at arm's length. In 2026 it signed a three-year K Pro agreement with AstraZeneca on 13 May to build competitive-intelligence agents inside AstraZeneca's own infrastructure, then a five-year K Pro collaboration with Sanofi on 5 June to build custom drug-development agents, extending a Sanofi relationship that began with a $180 million equity investment in 2021.

For an early-career applicant, the work sits inside live, named pharma partners' R&D decision-making rather than a standalone research product, with more than one such multi-year enterprise deal running at once.

Not right now. Owkin has no internship or graduate roles listed today; new postings appear here as the firm opens them.

Owkin opened its off-cycle internships on 1 Jun 2026. Dates are when the firm posted each programme, or when we first saw it on the firm's careers site.

Applications to Owkin go through the firm's own careers site, one application per posting, each expecting a CV and cover letter written for that role.
