Business Strategy & Expansion Intern

Chift is a tech startup that helps software companies unleash their full potential with connectivity. Our clients are B2B tech companies that need to develop integrations with their clients’ business software (like accounting or e-commerce) and automate data flows seamlessly across platforms. With our unified API, one single integration is enough to connect them to their whole European ecosystem.

Founded in 2022, Chift is on a mission to become the European leader in financial software integrations. 🚀 In just 3 years, we’ve grown to 25 people and work with leading fintechs and listed companies across Europe.

Backed by top tier investors, we’re expanding fast across Europe and we’re looking for the new stars to join the ride 🌍

As a Business Strategy & Expansion Intern, you'll play a hands-on role in supporting Chift’s European expansion in the Netherlands and Spain. Working closely with our CEO and the Country Managers, you’ll play a key role in identifying opportunities, fine-tuning our sales processes, and supporting local teams on the ground.

Your responsibilities:

• ✨ Lead generation & outreach: Help craft and execute highly targeted, multi-channel outreach strategies to grow our sales pipeline and scale to the moon (no cold calls here — everything’s automated and data-driven)
• 📊 Expansion strategy: Be the right hand of the Sales & Country Managers. Analyze new markets, identify key prospects, partners & competitors to fuel our expansion playbook.
• ⚙️ Sales ops & automation: Help optimize and automate our internal sales processes to make the team faster and smarter.
• 🎉 Events & field support: Help organize Chift’s events across Europe and support our teams on-site — in Paris, Madrid, or Amsterdam.
• 🧠 Master B2B sales: From sourcing to qualification and closing a deal: you’ll gain a full-stack view of how B2B sales work in a fast-growing tech startup.

You’ll work directly with our CEO and Growth team in Brussels and gain real exposure to what it takes to scale a startup.

We welcome people from all backgrounds who want to make their mark in tech. Here is the kind of profile we're looking for:

• A student or recent graduate in Business, Marketing or Finance with a strong interest in tech (super important!).
• Startup enthusiast: our environment is more “rock’n’roll” than corporate. You need to be super focused, having a sens of urgency and ready to hustle.
• A natural “doer”: you’ll be the engine of your own internship. Your energy will define your experience.
• You speak English and at least one of the following: French, Dutch, or Spanish.
• You’re curious about Technology & AI. No need to be an expert, but if APIs, integrations, Fintech sound familiar, you’re on the right track.

💼 What we offer

• An internship in Brussels, starting in September or October. With the opportunity to join the team full-time after the internship.
• A real immersion in the heart of the tech industry. Apart from being a tech startup, Chift is empowering other tech companies with its integrations
• A 360° view of B2B sales: learn how to identify, engage, and convert enterprise clients, from first touch to signed deal
• Real exposure to C-levels and founders, and direct collaboration with our CEO and Country Managers
• The opportunity to travel to Paris, Madrid or Amsterdam to support local teams and events 🚞
• A culture of ownership and freedom: at Chift, you won’t be “just an intern”, we’ll treat you like a full team member and expect you to take initiative like it’s your own company 💪
• Work in a truly innovative, AI-driven environment where we constantly test and adopt the best tools to 10x our impact 🤖
• A work environment where we help each other grow, celebrate every win together, and enjoy team lunches, afterworks — and even sport sessions 🏃‍♂️
• And yes, we do team lunches, afterworks and celebrate every win 🍻

If you're looking for more than just a line on your CV — if you want to learn fast, take ownership, and help build the future of European tech — you're in the right place.

At Chift, we believe great ideas come from diverse minds. Whatever your background, identity or story, if you're curious and driven, we’d love to see you apply.
