Marketing & Sales Ninja Placement

Know what a coconut looks like? Good. Looking for a university placement? Great! Are you a problem solver, able to come up with solutions to problems yourself? Awesome! Coconut Merchant is looking for a Marketing & Sales Intern-dash-Ninja. Even if you’re not too familiar with coconuts, but have an entrepreneurial attitude and share our values, then we want to hear from you!

About the role

We are looking for someone (or potentially two) to support our Marketing and Sales teams. In this way, you’ll have exposure to a full breadth of the business and get to sample a little bit of everything (yum!). We will also give you real responsibility – no serving coffees here, you’ll be a full member of the team and your opinions and decisions will count! Your role will include:

• Supporting with preparing blog posts and social content;
• Recruiting and managing a team of Brand Ambassadors;
• Manage our website merchandising;
• Manage our website orders;
• Assist in managing our Amazon accounts in Europe and USA;
• Liaising with external partners (Amazon, DPD, Marketing Consultants) on projects and activity;
• Customer care (something really important to us!);
• Assisting with research;
• Joining the team at any events and trade-shows;
• Other things that come up in the day-to-day running of a fast growing business!

Experience here isn’t essential, but the right attitude is absolutely essential. You will be getting training from the company Director, so you’ll have a chance to learn everything you need to know. What will be most important is your attitude and entrepreneurial skills. You should:

• Have a knack for selling – you should have an instinct for what makes people want to buy products;
• Enjoy the competitive nature of selling online – our success will be objectively measured in sales rankings on Amazon and sales volumes. You should enjoy trying to do better than before;
• Skilled at Office Suite, particularly Excel and Word – you need to know your pivot tables and =vlookups, or be sharp enough to learn them on your own;
• Use initiative and problem-solve – if issues come up, are you going to be able to use your own initiative to find a solution or will you need someone to find a solution for you? We want problem-solvers;
• Brand champion – you understand the value of a strong brand and will quickly get to grips with our brand world and ensure everything you do sits within it;
• Keen interpersonal skills and an ability to relate to people from diverse backgrounds;
• A demonstrable ability to think outside the box, innovate and think creatively.

Placement Term: 8 Month+

Start Date: ASAP, but this is negotiable
