Business Development Intern

About Merchery

Merchery is born from the simple observation that corporate gifts and promotional products are most of the time low quality. This billion $ market is shady, and often made of products people throw away after two weeks. Our vision at Merchery is to offer beautiful, useful and carefully sourced products that people actually want. As a rapidly growing company, launched in April 2020, we are looking for new talent to contribute to this transformation.

As a Business Development Intern

you will be working closely with our co-founder, our Head of Sales and Head of Growth to lead our outbound sales efforts. What does that mean? You'll embark with us on a mission to go catch the best clients out there. You will be setting in place our outbound strategy, hunting for potential clients, and filling the pipe with nice opportunities. We're looking for an entrepreneurial individual with strong communication and listening skills that can both reinforce the existing growth machine and implement new business opportunities. You will be a key strategic intern, thinking about the development of our business in each market and industry.

As Business Development Intern, you will lead our new business generation machine, and help us:

• You are goal oriented and willing to achieve
• You are truly interested in our mission
• You are fluent in English - any other language is a big plus!
• You live to create social bonds. It gives you energy to reach out to people, rather than the other way round

Working with us

Will be fun
