Are you looking for a dynamic and commercial internship in one of the fastest-growing and most international trading companies in the Netherlands?

As a Sales – International Trader Intern, you will be part of our core business: international trading. You will actively support our traders in buying and selling A-brand consumer goods worldwide, building relationships with international clients and suppliers, and closing profitable deals.

This is not a “coffee internship.” You will get real responsibility, real targets, and real impact.

  • Support traders in daily international buying and selling activities
  • Identify new business opportunities and potential markets
  • Maintain and expand relationships with international customers and suppliers
  • Prepare commercial offers and follow up on negotiations
  • Analyze market trends, prices, and margins
  • Manage administrative processes related to orders and contracts
  • Work closely with Supply Chain and Logistics to ensure smooth transactions
  • Contribute ideas to improve trading strategies and commercial performance

You will learn how international trade works in practice from sourcing to closing deals.

Your profile

  • Available for a 5–6 month internship (32–40 hours) starting April 2026
  • Bachelor or Master level (commercial, business, international trade or similar)
  • Fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus)
  • Strong commercial drive and entrepreneurial mindset
  • Not afraid of targets and performance-based work
  • Confident, proactive, and persuasive
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills
  • Able to prioritize and handle multiple tasks
  • International mindset; international experience is a plus

You are competitive, eager to win deals, and motivated to learn how to trade on a global level.
