About JDLSOURCING

We are an international production partner for brands that want to stand out. From custom-made merchandise to premium packaging and next-level giveaways. We translate ideas into physical products that show up at events, in stores, marketing campaigns and across social media. We work for fast-growing startups and established A-brands in hospitality, FMCG, sport, retail and fashion. With our own teams in China and Europe, we make the difference in speed, quality and reliability. Our clients include KTM, PepsiCo, Jamin, Uber Eats and more!

Who we are looking for

Are you the one who can strike a deal anywhere and effortlessly start a conversation with anyone 🗣️? We are looking for a Sales & Account Management intern who builds connections as easily as we manage international productions. Commercial awareness, client contact, and an obsession with great brands: is that you? Ready to close deals and build relationships? Let’s go!

Job Description

You are a key player within our team. Not a spectator, but fully focused on growth and building together. Your mission? Bringing in new business and expanding accounts. You proactively look for new clients to approach, effortlessly turn a warm lead into a long-term partnership, and immediately spot opportunities to significantly expand collaborations with existing clients. You’re not satisfied until the deal is closed!

What you’ll be doing

  • Creative Outbound: No sending boring, copy-pasted emails to overcrowded inboxes. You come up with out-of-the-box ways to get a foot in the door with the coolest brands in tech, FMCG, hospitality, and beyond. Think physical packages, or a clever, timely hook via email or LinkedIn.

  • Spotting & Creating Opportunities: You quickly spot where brands are missing the mark or leaving money on the table when it comes to their merchandise or packaging, and you use that insight as your perfect conversation starter.

  • Qualifying Leads: You are the first point of contact. You handle the initial conversations, qualify prospects, and team up with the sales crew to tackle the warmest leads.

  • Pitch Perfect: You help brainstorm and build sleek client proposals and presentations that hit the mark every time.

  • Upselling & Account Management: You keep the lines of communication with existing clients warm and immediately spot opportunities to expand the collaboration.

  • Data = Key: You are in control of your own work. You tightly manage your pipeline in our CRM system and show off your hustle during weekly sales meetings, tracking your leads, activity, and conversion rates.

What we expect from you

  • You have a way with words and excel at building relationships.

  • You take ownership, take action, and don’t sit around waiting.

  • You understand that a young startup requires a completely different approach than a strict corporate environment. Your emails and pitches are sharp, spot-on, and never a boring, copy-pasted story.

  • You have a genuine interest in merchandise, packaging, and premiums.

  • You view targets as a challenge, not as pressure. You have an immense drive to hit your goals and the discipline to step on the gas, even when there’s no manager looking over your shoulder.

  • You are eager to learn and open to feedback.

  • Bonus points: You already have some experience in sales, account management, or customer service (but no stress if you don’t!).

  •  

What we have to offer

  • Internship Allowance: Internship compensation depends on the number of days available per week.

  • A beautiful workspace in Amsterdam’s Amstelkwartier with a young and ambitious team. No slow corporate hierarchy—just a down-to-earth environment with great energy, speed, and a focus on growth.

  • A versatile internship where you won’t just be grabbing coffee, but getting real responsibility in both sales and account management.

  • Working on projects for well-known brands (and seeing the final products out in the real world!).

  • Professional guidance and all the room and freedom you need to execute your own commercial ideas.

  • Team lunches, Friday afternoon drinks (vrijmibo’s), team outings, and a super informal work atmosphere. 🍻

  • Flexibility with your vacations (which is always a plus).

  • A match made in heaven? There is a strong chance of a permanent (part-time) job after your internship!

🗓️ The Details:

  • Start date: Immediately, or starting in August/September (through the end of Dec, Jan/Feb, or longer).

🚀 No-Nonsense Application Process:

No waiting around for months, no three nerve-wracking interview rounds. Just a quick and honest look to see if we click.

  • Step 1: Spend 2 minutes filling out the form via this link: https://airtable.com/appZgxxWdRQsASvPi/pagsIdhWwfHoUZk0A/form

  • Step 2: No automated robot emails or weeks of silence. We will let you know within 24 hours if we’re going to schedule a call.

  • Step 3: Good vibes during the call? Then we’ll invite you straight to our Amsterdam office, and you might just become our newest team member!
