Marketplace Intern (All Genders)

YOU & AHEAD

At ahead, we are on a mission to clean up the world’s candy drawers. We make the snacks people actually crave: chocolate bars, protein bars, wafers, cookies, gummies and more, with up to 90% less sugar and no compromise on taste.

With more than 170 SKUs and ambitious growth plans across D2C, retail, Amazon and Europe, our Marketplace team makes sure our products are correctly listed, available to buy and moving smoothly from catalogue setup to customer order.

As our Marketplace Intern, you will support European marketplace operations, with Amazon as the main channel. You will work hands-on with listings, product data, orders, account issues and new marketplace launches.
