About the role
Love fashion, events, sales and building business relationships? LUNALAE is an established Australian polewear and activewear brand with a growing international community. We're looking for an organised, proactive and outgoing intern to help us identify, plan and coordinate pop-up retail opportunities across Australia and internationally. This is a hands-on events, sales and business development internship, with a strong focus on finding and securing opportunities for LUNALAE to sell at in-person events, competitions, studios and pop-up locations. You'll work closely with the directors and operations team, gaining exposure to how a fashion brand expands into current markets, builds commercial partnerships and creates opportunities to connect with customers in person. Please note: This is not a PR, influencer marketing, social media or media relations internship. The role is focused on event research, commercial opportunities, sales and the practical coordination of pop-up events. What you'll be doing 1. Pop-Up Event Research & Coordination
• Researching upcoming pole dance competitions, festivals, expos, markets and other relevant events across Australia and internationally.
• Identifying potential pop-up locations, event organisers and opportunities for LUNALAE to showcase and sell its products.
• Contacting event organisers and venues to enquire about vendor opportunities, pricing and participation requirements.
• Assisting with event applications, bookings, timelines and logistics.
• Coordinating event requirements, including equipment, staffing, stock and transportation. 2. Sales & On-the-Ground Event Support
• Assisting with pop-up setup, merchandising and pack-down.
• Helping customers with product selection, sizing and purchases.
• Supporting retail sales and creating a positive customer experience.
• Assisting with stock preparation, inventory tracking and event sales reporting. 3. Business Development & Partnerships
• Researching potential wholesale stockists, pole studios, retailers and other commercial partners.
• Identifying new opportunities to introduce LUNALAE to different markets and customer communities.
• Supporting outreach to potential partners and following up on business enquiries.
• Helping prepare partnership proposals, wholesale information and event participation opportunities.
• Maintaining records of potential leads, contacts and partnership opportunities. What we're looking for
• A genuine interest in fashion, retail, events and business development.
• Someone who enjoys researching opportunities and proactively reaching out to people.
• Confident communication and relationship-building skills.
• Strong organisation, time management and attention to detail.
• A practical, hands-on attitude and willingness to get involved.
• Someone comfortable with both administrative tasks and customer-facing sales.
• Previous retail, sales, events or business development experience is highly regarded.
• You don't need to have experience in every area, but you should be confident, resourceful and willing to take ownership of tasks. What you'll gain
• Direct exposure to the directors and commercial operations of an established Australian fashion brand.
• Practical experience in event planning, retail sales, business development and partnership outreach.
• An understanding of how brands identify and enter new markets.
• The opportunity to contribute to real business projects and see them progress from research to execution.
• Experience working across Australian and international market opportunities.
• Valuable commercial and operational skills to strengthen your CV.
• There may be opportunities for ongoing employment, subject to business needs and performance.
