Sales Intern

  • Hybrid

Job description

Why we are here 
Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes an impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate.  


Now we are on the hunt for our new Sales Intern to join our team in Amsterdam!   This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on sales experience within the grocery retail channel in a growing company, all while making a significant positive impact in the world of cocoa. 


Here’s what you’ll learn: 

  • Storytelling and sales pitch: learn to create sales presentations and promotional materials, such as flyers and promotional folders.
  • Analysis: learn to analyze data and present actionable insights to the sales team.  
  • Project management: learn to manage and optimize a smooth innovation process for new products across our retail grocery and out of home -customers. 
  • Customer communication: make sure our retail customers have the correct up to date information about our products. 
  • Stakeholder management: learn to collaborate with different internal departments, such as marketing, supply chain, and finance.   
  • New business development: you get to join our sales team at a trade show and learn how to organize and staff Tony's booth! You will learn how to support new business development by going to various locations for tastings, visiting supermarkets to see how our chocolate is positioned on shelf, and trying to create second placement opportunities. 
  • Sales support: learn how to make presentations, write briefings, and work with our distributor partners. 


Here’s what you’ll do: 

  • Create relationships with our clients (supermarkets) to improve our visibility and create opportunities within stores. 
  • Support smooth launches when Tony’s introduces new products! Think of gathering internal information, creating sales presentations to sell the idea to retailers, creating perfect online visibility, and sending samples.   
  • Analyze historical sales data and distil actionable insights for the team to use. 
  • Make sure all our data and pack shots are timely and accurately in the database for our retail customers to use. 
  • Work together with the finance and logistics support on getting materials from the Netherlands to all the different international markets where Tony's are sold.  
  • Support creating sales presentations and promotional material, such as flyers and promotional folders, as well as briefing Tony's design team on the artwork creations. 

Job requirements

Job requirements: 

  • You’re studying for a relevant commercial HBO/university degree and are looking to gain practical experience in a real work environment with a sales focus. 
  • Raise the bar. Challenge yourself and team Tony’s to increase our ambition and to accomplish our mission. Make mistakes along the way and learn from them. 
  • Believe wholeheartedly in Tony’s mission. You live our core values: outspoken, willful, entrepreneurial and makes you smile. 


Here are the hard facts: 

  • Starting on February 3rd, you'll be part of our Tony's team for 6 months.

  • You’ll be living in the Netherlands and enrolled in a school for the duration of the internship. 


Here's what you can expect from us: 

  • You'll be part of an enthusiastic team of driven colleagues who share your love for Tony's and our commitment. We're a fast-growing international company, and we believe in doing things differently.

  • You'll have 14 vacation days over the six-month period, and we'll provide you with a monthly €550 internship allowance for a full-time (40 h) internship. 
  • Our office in Amsterdam Houthavens is a pretty sweet workplace - you'll enjoy a fresh and tasty lunch, and plenty of snacks. We know how to work hard, but we also know how to have fun. And of course, you get to take home as much chocolate as you can carry. 


Sounds like you? 

If you're ready to take the chocolate industry to new heights with us, we'd love to hear from you! 


Everybody is welcome to apply. From classics to limited editions, we know that different flavors make life more inspiring. And not just in our chocolate assortment.
