📍 Milano, Italy

🕒 6-month paid internship (stage extracurricolare)

🚀 Start: January 2026

🌍 Join us in revolutionizing packaging through sales!

Movopack is looking for a Business Development Representative (BDR) Intern to support our growth in the Italian market. This is a hands-on, high-impact B2B sales role for someone who wants to learn sales by doing it for real: targets, accountability, direct exposure to revenue. If you're ambitious, resilient, and motivated by results, this internship will accelerate your career.

🚀 Who we are:

Movopack is transforming the way brands ship products. Our circular packaging service helps retail and e-commerce companies eliminate single-use waste while delivering a premium customer experience.

How it works:

Customers receive their orders in reusable packaging, enjoy a premium unboxing, and return it via any mailbox across Europe. We handle cleaning and reuse — again and again.

Our impact:

  • 84% fewer CO₂ emissions
  • 98% less packaging waste
  • Higher conversion, retention & brand love (NPS: 79)

We're growing fast:

  • ~1 million packaging units in circulation
  • Clients include Vinted, Decathlon, Prenatal, Yamamay, OVS, and more
  • Offices in Italy, Spain, and the UK
  • Backed by €2.3M seed funding from international VCs and industry leaders

💥 Your impact:

You'll be one of the first BDRs fully dedicated to the Italian market, playing a direct role in building our sales pipeline and driving revenue. You'll be the engine behind new opportunities:

  • Opening doors
  • Creating conversations
  • Enabling Account Executives to focus on high-quality, well-qualified meetings

After 90 days, you'll have:

  • Built a strong outbound rhythm with consistent, high-quality activity
  • Started booking qualified meetings for AEs
  • Become autonomous in prospecting, CRM hygiene, and handover

📊 How we'll measure success:

Main KPIs:

  • Number of outbound activities (calls)
  • Meetings booked (SQL)
  • Qualified meetings (SAL)

Secondary KPIs:

  • Pipeline & revenue influenced
  • CRM data quality and feedback loops

You'll be measured on inputs and outputs, not just effort.

💥 What you'll do:

Reporting directly to the Chief Commercial Officer, you will:

  • Identify and qualify leads via cold calling, cold emailing, and LinkedIn outreach
  • Manage first contact with inbound leads and guide them through the funnel
  • Visit clients and prospects to understand needs and present solutions
  • Organize meetings, demos, and commercial proposals
  • Support deal progression and closure with Account Executives
  • Nurture relationships to improve satisfaction and upselling
  • Conduct market research on high-potential segments and trends
  • Track and manage all activities in the CRM

⚡ Why it's a great learning experience:

We believe in being transparent. This role is hands-on and fast-paced, and that's exactly where the learning happens:

  • You'll work on high-volume outreach, which means not every conversation will turn into a "yes" and that's okay.
  • Phone calls are a key part of the role: you’ll gain real confidence in speaking with prospects and handling objections.
  • It takes resilience, consistency, and positive energy, even on challenging days — skills that will serve you in any career.
  • You'll benefit from fast feedback loops, learning quickly what works and improving week by week.

If you're curious, proactive, and eager to grow through real-world experience, this role will push you in the best way 💪

🧠 Who you are:

Must-haves:

  • Iterative, curious, entrepreneurial mindset
  • Self-driven, proactive, eager to improve
  • Outcome-focused: impact over perfection
  • Not afraid of hearing "no"
  • Strong verbal communication skills
  • Italian: native / C2
  • English: fluent

Nice-to-have:

  • Experience with CRM tools (HubSpot is a plus)
  • Exposure to sales, retail, or client-facing roles
  • Familiarity with prospecting tools (Surfe, Lusha, Cognism, etc.)

🧬 Your DNA:

You are:

  • Proactive, energetic, resilient
  • Persuasive without being aggressive
  • Comfortable handling objections
  • Coachable and open to continuous feedback

You'll probably find this frustrating if:

  • You lack ambition
  • You struggle with feedback
  • You give up easily after rejection
  • You prefer low-pressure, low-activity roles

🎁 What we offer:

  • Paid, full-time internship with real responsibility
  • Direct mentorship from founders and senior sales leaders
  • Concrete learning curve in B2B sales & commercial strategy
  • Potential access to equity options if converted to full-time
  • Purpose-driven, international, flexible work environment
  • Vibrant office in central Milan
