Join Us as a Business Development and Sales Intern! ‍

In this role, you will ensure our operations run smoothly behind the scenes by keeping partner and lead data accurate, organised, and consistently up to date across our tools and Google Sheets. You’ll cross-check information, identify inconsistencies, remove duplicates, and maintain clean, reliable dashboards that support smart decision-making.
