Your Role

We're looking for our next superstar Talent Matching Specialist to join our Placements team which is responsible for ensuring all our interns get a guaranteed remote internship placement. This is a fast-paced, targets-driven role that “always finds a way” . This opportunity is perfect if you're either:

• Currently a Junior Recruiter or B2B Sales Executive or Marketing Copywriter
• Currently a TEFL English teacher looking for a career switch 

The role will start as a 3-month full-time contract role , with potential to become permanent dependent on performance. 

What You'll Be Doing

• Ensuring our interns are placed in 1-4 month remote internship placements with host companies from around the world 
• Sourcing your own host companies via LinkedIn, Cold Emails, Phone Calls, plus any other channels you want to try! 
• Being super-creative at persuading host companies to consider your interns 
• Conducting Zoom calls with host companies to walk through our product and your interns
• Being a trusted partner and advisor to host companies on their intern needs
• Support all necessary administration relating to the placement process

Why You Should Join Us

• You'll be part of a Placement Team that is the envy of the industry (yep, big claim we know!). No-one else in the world is able to guarantee a remote internship for every student, except our Placement Team!
• Everything is global. Our team is global (20+ countries), our interns are global (100+ countries), our host companies are global (75+ countries). You'll learn how to work with various cultures and adapt your communication style accordingly.
• Build your global network. You will be working with Founders/C-Level decision-makers of businesses across the world, so expect to connect with a whole range of inspiring and innovative leaders! 
• Variety. A “regular” day might be a morning spent syncing with your colleagues in South Africa and Vietnam, before an afternoon of meetings with companies in India, France, Sweden, and then later in the day you're sending profiles of your UK interns to a company in Columbia. It really does happen all the time!

Who We Are Looking For

• You have experience of studying/working abroad
• Either 1-2 years of experience in talent acquisition or in B2B sales or in Travel sales OR 1-5 years experience as TEFL English teacher
• Persuasive in verbal and written English. You'll spend the majority of your time communicating with host companies so whilst we don't require an IELTS, your English level should be equivalent to 7.5 or above
• Target Oriented: Able to meet your intern placement targets to earn uncapped commissions 
• Persistence, persistence, persistence. So much so, we had to write it three times!
