Partnership Specialist Intern

Your Impact

Your mission

As a Partnership Specialist Intern, you will join Buddyfit’s Partnership team and provide commercial support to the Partnership Manager, working closely together. You will help build and manage the Media Sales partnership pipeline, meaning collaborations with brands across different industries that invest to reach the Buddyfit community.
 This is a gradual growth path. At first, you will support the team in scouting new opportunities and in the first contacts with brands and media agencies. Step by step, you will take on some phases of the sales process and client relationships independently. You will get to know Media Sales dynamics up close, develop negotiation skills and help build partnerships that create value for both our partners and the Buddyfit community.

You feel at ease in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, you are eager to learn and challenge yourself, and you bring positive energy to every interaction. You will work in a passionate, cross-functional team that will support you along the way and help you grow every day.
