HBO Marketing Intern Vacancy: Analyzing Market Environment (Business and Marketing Strategy/Competition Analysis)

We are looking for a professional to be who can support us! Are you eager to learn, motivated, business-minded and do you want to work in a socially responsible environment? Then this internship is definitely for you!

Ventilation and air quality play an increasingly important role in indoor spaces these days. Both the WHO (World Health Organization) and the European government agencies now recognize the role of aerosols in the spread of COVID-19 and are increasingly trying to take additional measures to improve air quality.

AirExchange sells professional, visually appealing air cleaning systems that actively filter virus particles from the air. Since the start of the pandemic, AirExchange has been working to make indoor spaces such as offices, gyms and treatment rooms safer. We are now active throughout Europe and have built up a large partner network. 

We are looking for an intern to research market opportunities within the Netherlands and Europe and to convert these into a route-to-market strategy. The internship can vary from identifying interesting business segments to actively approaching and selling our products to international companies. 

As an extra motivation to work in a sales-oriented way, AirExchange offers a considerable commission for the direct sale of an air cleaning system.
