Business Development Intern

About Us: We’re an exciting food startup on a mission to shake up the snack and beverage world with products that are better for you. We focus on holistic health and want to challenge the way people think about food. If you're passionate about wellness, creative thinking, and want to make a real impact, we’d love for you to join us! The Role: We’re looking for a Business Development Intern who’s not just about checking off tasks, but someone with a creative mindset who can bring new ideas to the table. You’ll be getting out in the field, interacting with key decision-makers, and learning all about the distribution world. But we’re also excited to hear your thoughts and innovative ideas on how we can grow, connect, and reach new audiences. If you’re a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, startup environment, this is your chance to get hands-on experience and help shape our future! What You’ll Do: Field Outreach: Visit modern trade stores, cafes, gyms, dance centers, pilates studios, and more. Your goal? Get the inside scoop on distribution channels and discover new opportunities for collaborations. Craft a Sales Strategy: Based on your research, you’ll help create a fresh and impactful sales strategy to improve how we connect with potential partners. Bring Ideas to Life: We’re open to your creative solutions! Whether it’s how we approach partnerships, unique marketing tactics, or fresh outreach strategies, we want your ideas. Market Research: Research competitors, industry trends, and customer needs – and bring fresh insights that help us stay ahead of the curve. Set Up Meetings: Be the bridge between our founder and potential business partners by setting up meetings and facilitating communication. Spot Opportunities: Identify new ways to connect with our target audience and discover partnership opportunities. What We’re Looking For: Creative Thinker: You don’t just follow the script; you’re always thinking about new ways to approach challenges and opportunities. Excellent Communication Skills: Whether it’s in person or online, you know how to engage and build relationships. Proactive & Motivated: You take the initiative and are always ready to dive in and learn. Previous Sales Experience? Awesome, but not essential! If you’ve done outreach or sales before, great, but we’re really excited about your ideas and enthusiasm. A passion for the food & beverage scene is a plus! Why You’ll Love It: Start Up Vibes: Experience the thrill of working in a fast-paced, creative startup environment. Flexible Hours: Work around your schedule while still making an impact. Certification of Completion: You’ll get a certificate that highlights your experience and contributions. Be Heard: We’re all about new ideas! Your suggestions and creative approaches will be valued and put to the test. Growth Opportunities: Gain hands-on experience and learn directly from our founder and leadership team. Possibility of Full-Time Offer: Perform well, and there’s potential for a full-time role with the company after the internship ends.
