About the Opportunity

We are currently seeking a confident and results-driven Sales & Marketing Intern to join an innovative Australian food-tech business in Melbourne.

This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who wants to build practical Australian experience in sales, business development, digital marketing and client acquisition while working with a technology platform designed for the restaurant industry.

You will be directly involved in approaching restaurant owners, presenting the platform, generating new business opportunities and helping restaurants get successfully onboarded.

This is not a desk-only internship. We are looking for someone who is confident getting out into the market, meeting business owners and building relationships.

Key Responsibilities

- Visit restaurants across Wyndham and surrounding Melbourne suburbs
- Approach restaurant owners and managers to introduce the company's digital platform
- Present the platform and explain its benefits to prospective restaurant partners
- Support restaurants through the onboarding process
- Generate new leads through face-to-face visits, phone calls, email and social media
- Follow up prospective restaurant partners and support conversion
- Promote the mobile app through restaurants, QR codes, local events and community engagement
- Help drive app downloads, customer registrations and first orders
- Build and maintain strong relationships with restaurant partners
- Track leads, onboarding activity and sales results
- Support local sales and marketing campaigns

Who We're Looking For

We are particularly interested in candidates with a Sales and/or Marketing background who are confident speaking directly with potential clients.





To succeed in this internship, you should have:

- Previous exposure to sales, marketing, business development, hospitality or customer service
- Confidence approaching restaurant owners face-to-face
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- A proactive and results-oriented attitude
- Good follow-up and organisational skills
- The ability to work independently and achieve agreed targets
- Confidence using mobile apps and digital technology
- Interest in startups, food-tech and digital platforms

A valid driver's licence and access to your own vehicle are highly desirable due to restaurant visits across Melbourne.

Experience within hospitality or Melbourne's multicultural restaurant sector will be highly regarded.

What You Will Gain

You will gain practical Australian experience in:

- B2B sales and business development
- Lead generation and prospecting
- Face-to-face client engagement
- Sales presentations and product demonstrations
- Restaurant onboarding
- Account and relationship management
- Digital and local marketing
- Customer acquisition
- Sales pipeline and performance tracking
- Working within an Australian technology startup

The internship provides direct exposure to a real commercial environment where you can develop your confidence in approaching businesses and converting opportunities into active restaurant partners.

Performance-based commissions or incentives may also be available for successful restaurant onboarding, subject to the host company's agreed commission structure and qualifying requirements.

Strong performers may also be considered for ongoing opportunities with the host company following the internship, subject to performance, business requirements and availability.

If you have a strong interest in Sales, Marketing and Business Development, enjoy meeting new people and are confident approaching businesses face-to-face, we would like to hear from you.

Please apply with your updated CV, including your current Melbourne location and availability.
