Your role
Turn research into a reliable sales pipeline.
You will work with the India team and directly with the founder. You will identify relevant companies across Europe, structure market intelligence and help turn research into clear commercial opportunities.
You will not only observe how a young European company builds its customer base: you will help create the foundation.
What you will do
Five workstreams. One goal: find and understand the right customers.
The role brings together research, data quality, product understanding and disciplined sales support.
-
01
AI-powered lead generation
- Identify potential customers across Europe using AI, online research and digital tools.
- Find companies using natural ingredients or botanical extracts.
- Research decision makers in Purchasing, R&D, Product Development and Business Development.
-
02
Customer database development
- Build and maintain a structured database of European prospects.
- Research companies, products, contacts, applications and potential opportunities.
- Qualify prospects by relevance and potential.
-
03
Product & market intelligence
- Build and organize our product database.
- Research applications, specifications, certifications and customer requirements.
- Monitor competitors, market developments and new product launches.
-
04
Sales support
- Prepare customer-specific information and presentations.
- Support inquiries, sample tracking, quotations and follow-ups.
- Keep CRM and sales-pipeline information current.
-
05
European market development
- Research customers and distributors in Germany and other European markets.
- Identify relevant European exhibitions and high-potential exhibitors.
- Prepare customer briefs before sales meetings.
What you will learn
Practical exposure, not a routine internship.
You will see how an international sales operation is built during the early stage of a company.
- International B2B sales
- AI-assisted market research and lead generation
- European business development
- CRM and sales-pipeline management
- Natural ingredients and botanical products
- Startup operations and customer acquisition
- Direct collaboration with a company founder
Who we are looking for
Curious, analytical and ready to take ownership.
You are pursuing Business, Marketing, International Business, Engineering, Commerce, Data/Analytics or a related field, and you enjoy organizing complex information.
- Strong English communication
- Confident online research and careful information organization
- Comfort with Excel or Google Sheets
- Curiosity about AI and modern productivity tools
- An analytical, detail-oriented and proactive working style
- Interest in sales, entrepreneurship and international business
You do not need prior sales experience. What matters most is curiosity, sound judgement, research ability and a willingness to learn.
