• 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;
