• Partnerships Internship: You will be a key asset in the team and support our partner development team in getting new strategic partnerships onboard and connecting with existing partners. 
• Sales Development Internship: You will be involved in prospecting and identifying new business to help expand the sales pipelines. Your hunger for data will generate valuable insights for the team.

• Strategic Accounts Internship: You will take your communication and negotiation skills to the next level by reviewing and reaching out to our enterprise prospects and also help with the flow between the different Midmarket departments.

We do have to ask you to bring the following to the team: 

• BSc/MSc student in Business, Marketing or other relevant studies;
• Excellent communication skills in English and Dutch, you are not afraid of conversation;
• High interest in e-commerce, retail, hospitality and business.
