Business Development Intern

Are you the kind of person who'd rather pick up the phone than wait for the lead to come to you? Icetubs is looking for a Business Development Intern to help us bring cold therapy to more gyms, hotels, wellness studios and clinics across Europe, and to find the resellers who can carry our products into markets we can't reach alone. From finding the right decision-maker to landing the first conversation, you'll learn what it takes to open doors for a premium product. Sound like your kind of challenge?

About the job

We're looking for a Business Development Intern who isn't afraid of a cold start, in the inbox or the ice bath. You'll work closely with our sales team to build prospect and reseller lists, run outreach, and turn "who's this?" into booked calls. Getting real experience while making real impact.

What you'll be doing

Prospecting & research

• Map out potential B2B customers: gyms, hotels, spas, physio clinics, sports clubs and wellness studios across Europe
• Identify potential resellers and distribution partners: wellness retailers, sauna and spa installers, fitness equipment dealers, and online shops in new markets
• Find the right contact at each company and qualify whether they're a fit
• Keep our HubSpot CRM clean, complete, and up to date

Cold outreach

• Reach out to prospects and resellers by email, LinkedIn, and phone, and follow up until you get an answer
• Write and test outreach messages, then double down on what gets replies
• Book discovery calls for the sales team and join some of them yourself



Sales & partner support

• Help prepare quotes, presentations, and follow-ups for open deals
• Support onboarding of new resellers: product info, pricing, marketing materials
• Track what's working (reply rates, meetings booked, deals influenced) and share it with the team
• Jump in on ad-hoc projects: events, partnerships, new market research

What we're looking for

Must-Have Qualities

• Studying towards a Bachelor's or Master's in Business, Marketing, Commerce, or similar
• Available for a minimum of 6 months
• Comfortable reaching out to strangers and hearing "no" more than "yes"
• Clear, friendly writer who can get a point across in three sentences
• Self-starter who's comfortable in a lean team
• Fluent in English (Dutch, German, or Spanish a bonus)
• Interest in sports, recovery, or wellness

Bonus Qualities (Nice to Have)

• First experience in sales, hospitality, or a customer-facing role
• Experience with a CRM (HubSpot or similar) or outreach tools like Apollo or Lemlist
• Familiar with LinkedIn Sales Navigator
• Understanding of how distribution or reseller channels work

What you can expect from us

• A monthly internship stipend, €250 for part-time, €500 for full time
• Flexible work options: hybrid setup and flexible hours
• Real experience with a brand growing fast across EU
• Mentorship from our sales team, and a front-row seat to how a high-ticket B2B deal actually closes
• A wellness-focused environment (yes, there's an in-office gym, sauna, and ice bath)
• Free healthy lunch daily
• Employee discounts on all products
• A collaborative team that values ownership and fast execution
