About us
Your role
We are looking for a motivated Sales Intern who wants to get more into B2B sales and support our sales team in laying the foundation to scale the customer base globally.
To start with, this is a supporting sales role. We are looking for curiosity, energy and a willingness to take ownership early on. We offer you to genuinely help define what this internship looks like. Depending on your interests and strengths, you will get the freedom to shape your own focus areas within the sales team, whether that is research, CRM work, outreach support or similar. You will also regularly be given to chance to join sales meetings and gain insights in a variety of industries with stakeholders across the globe.
In short: You will support our sales team across a variety of tasks, and you will have real freedom to shape your own role within that, with the prospect of moving into a full time position with us, either alongside your ongoing studies or after you complete them.
Take the chance, own it and you will rapidly outgrow what you think is even possible - this is our mindset, this is our approach.
