As a Commercial Partnerships Intern, you will support the Commercial Partnerships Lead in building, executing and optimizing commercial collaborations that drive revenue, brand awareness and product trial. You will work on real-life cases with premium brands, media partners and key accounts, operating at the intersection of fragrance, luxury and contemporary brand culture.

You will gain hands-on experience in how strategic partnerships are developed from idea to execution within Europe’s leading perfume discovery platform. This role offers a unique opportunity to combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-growing, trend-driven scale-up environment.

• Magazine & media collaborations: cover sealings, subvertorials, editorial integrations and gifting activations

• Branded Gift-With-Purchase campaigns: including proposition development, asset briefings and performance evaluation

• Gifting & beauty drops: limited edition boxes, seasonal gift sets and B2B gifting propositions

Key responsibilities:

Gifting & B2B Support

• Support the development of gifting propositions (holiday gifts, giftcards, premium boxes)

• Assist with B2B gifting orders and platforms from proposal to delivery

• Contribute ideas on how gifting supports both brand positioning and revenue growth
