Business development Intern in hyper-scale startup

At Vicoland, we give the gig economy a new dimension: Virtual Companies, in short: “Vicos”. We invented Vicos to allow freelancers to team up and act as if they were a real company, competing successfully for interesting, large projects.

Our SaaS platform provides all the tech which enables the collaboration of Vicos and their clients & a marketplace that matches them together.

Our Vicos are already transforming how digital projects are done - since our launch last year, they worked with several world-renowned clients and partners such as Netflix, Smart, Samsung, Tupperware, BectonDickinson, HDI and Colliers. We were mentioned by Forbes and Forrester as the leading marketplace for freelance teams.

We are currently facing a hyper-growth stage where our demand jumps by 20% month over month, and are focusing on keeping this demand coming in

To support our business development team in meeting this challenge, we are looking for an business development intern with a keen interest in enabling the scalability of our business.

We're a team of 40+ people located across Europe and the US.
