Swedish native: Marketing, Business Development and Support internship

Help everyone reach their full potential through learning and vitality. That's the purpose of Springest. What you do has a big impact on people's lives and careers. And the best thing? We help and push you to reach your full potential too.

We connect people who want to learn, to  companies who provide services and products like training, e-learning, coaching, books, videos and vitality. If it helps you reach your full potential, we want to help you discover it. 

Internally we speak English because we operate in multiple countries and employ many nationalities. For this internship we're looking for a native Swedish speaker to help us develop our efforts in Sweden. 

We always have opportunities for internships at Springest. You'll find some of the involved circles and roles below. Our aim is always to hire interns that would consider working for us after their studies as well, because we invest a lot and expect a lot back from you. We therefore also prefer (near) full time interns, but it's definitely OK to combine it with your thesis research. 

Listen to the experts (our interns)!

We could tell you a lot more, but prefer to let our interns speak for themselves. Read stories on Glassdoor (an independent employer review site) by:

• Alexander Arzoni, finance intern doing bookkeeping and financial reporting . Alexander now works full time for Springest in several financial roles, you could call him a Junior Financial Controller.
• Anne Fleur van der Wal,  finance intern doing bookkeeping and administrative customer support. Anne Fleur now works full time at Springest in a learning provider customer success role.
• Juul Noordzij, customer service intern who did her extensive thesis research for her study "Culture Organization and Management" about how Holacracy impacts employee engagement and motivation. Now works full time for Springest as a learning advisor.
• Niels Zee, marketing intern who ended up working with us full time, moving from Amsterdam to our Berlin office in the process
• Monica Rivas-Smit, international (UK, Belgium, France) business development intern who got in at boardroom level and got out with a great presentation (see video below) about her time as an intern at Springest. 
• Rogier van Rooij, business development intern who spent a lot of time researching sales opportunities and then reaching out himself, learning lots of tools and processes in the mean time.
