About the role

We are currently recruiting a Sales and Marketing Intern to join the team for the remainder of the year. This is a start-up so you will have to work extremely hard and thrive on learning new skills. It’s therefore crucial that you, in addition to your skills in sales and marketing, have real desire to work in a scrappy start-up environment.

• A natural ability to learn new skills quickly and take ownership of projects
• An ability to organise their own work with a highly structured approach and meticulous attention to detail

Specifically, you will be expected to:

• Reach out to and develop our current and potential corporate clients
• Plan, organise, and execute events including pop-up shops and tastings
• Help to train and manage junior seasonal staff at events
• Accept incoming orders from clients and liaise with the operations team to deliver and delight our customers
• Welcome new customers from our media partnerships and onboard them
• Help train seasonal workers and ensure that operational processes are followed
• Deliver personal and attentive customer service at all times and contribute to building long term relationship with our customers
• Help the operations team pick and pack orders at peak times
• Copywriting experience and skills would be a bonus
• A driver’s license would be a useful bonus


What we’re offering

• A no-bullshit, friendly, and fun start-up environment
• Friday afternoon beers, events, and tastings of the best British craft food and drink
• A 2-month internship in the run-up to Christmas
• A monthly contribution to travel and expenses of £1,170 per month
• The chance for the right candidate to join on a permanent basis after Christmas if business performance permits
• The opportunity to be part of the early team and help shape a fast-growing start-up
