Hey, we're Shield 👋We have growing pains and we are looking to find an enthusiastic, positive and energetic Business Developer for our sales team. The internship is a 3 month part time unpaid internship with the possibility of transitioning into a paid part time student position. This position is for individuals who want to expand their global network and grow professionally and personally in a fast-paced startup environment. For the right candidate, your opportunities at SHIELD are infinite.

Who are we?

We're a Copenhagen based tech startup with a small, tight-knit multinational team and a diverse mix of backgrounds. We help companies empower their employees to become brand ambassadors on LinkedIn, we help marketing agencies help their clients, and we help professionals build and grow personal brands. We do this through a commercial dashboard solution, bringing stats and analytics to LinkedIn through Software-as-a-Service.

Who are you?

You live in or around Copenhagen, have a flair for research and talking to people, and you are interested in tech. You are a self-starter meaning you will find or create solutions to the problems and challenges we encounter.

A normal work day could include:

• Drive business development through industry and market analysis

• Identify points of contact within target companies and reach out to prospective clients via outbound calls, emails and LinkedIn

• Maintain an organized pipeline, and track activity records on Pipedrive

• Qualify and educate leads to move them seamlessly through their buyer's journey

• Participate in and support the general sales and marketing agenda

• Ad hoc tasks (not coffee brewing)

  
  

What we offer

We offer an international environment with a mix of cultures and a wide variety of professional backgrounds, with plenty of opportunity to learn and grow both personally and professionally.

The position begins as an unpaid internship for 3 months and is estimated to 15 hours per week spread across two full working days (9-16). For the right candidate, we will move on to a part-time, paid student position and onwards from there.

We are flexible around exam periods and do allow for remote work when/if this is more convenient at times.

You will be joining the team at our Copenhagen office, located centrally at Nørrebro close to the lakes and public transportation (literally right outside the door). We recommend biking, though.

For the right candidate, joining Shield is a growth opportunity like no other.

We have experienced growth since day 1, even through the pandemic with no external support or funding. Ever.

We are purely customer financed through revenue.
