Sales & Trade Marketing Internship

Miss Kim | London | Hybrid

Build an emerging FMCG brand from the inside.

Miss Kim is a Korean food and lifestyle brand on a mission to become a household name for authentic Korean food and culture.

From leading food retailers and museum shops to national distributors, trade shows and cultural events, we are building something much bigger than a food brand.

We are looking for a commercially curious, highly organised and proactive intern who wants to understand how an FMCG brand actually grows: winning retailers, developing accounts, activating products in store and turning consumer interest into sales.

This is a hands on learning role working closely with the Founder and wider team. You will combine practical work with mentoring, meetings, site visits and shadowing real commercial activity.

The Role

Position: Sales & Trade Marketing Intern

Location: London, hybrid

Hours: 20–25 hours per week, including hands on work, learning and shadowing

Duration: 10 weeks

Travel: Agreed work related travel expenses covered

Progression: Strong performers may be considered for future paid part time or full time opportunities as Miss Kim grows.

Your responsibility will increase throughout the internship as you learn the business and demonstrate good judgement and reliability.

What You’ll Do

Sales & Retail

* Maintain our CRM, sales pipeline and retailer database accurately

* Research and identify new retail opportunities

* Support retailer applications, sales enquiries and buyer follow ups

* Support relationships with existing independent retailers and stockists

* Track leads, samples, orders and outstanding actions

* Help prepare sales decks, product information and retailer materials

* Shadow and participate in selected retailer, distributor and buyer meetings

Trade Marketing & Activations

* Participate in sampling sessions, markets, trade shows and brand activations

* Speak directly with consumers and retailers and gather useful feedback

* Track activation and sampling results

* Help turn consumer insights into practical commercial actions

* Support the preparation and execution of important brand and retail events

Commercial Learning & Systems

* Work with basic sales, stock and account data to identify patterns and opportunities

* Learn how CRM, retail, stock, logistics and marketing connect within an FMCG business

* Visit warehouses, retailers and industry events where relevant

* Identify missing information or gaps and suggest possible solutions

* Use AI and digital tools intelligently to work efficiently without compromising accuracy

* Learn to manage outstanding work and follow actions through to completion

This role isn’t just about completing tasks. We want someone who becomes increasingly curious about why something is being done, what happens next and how it contributes to the wider business.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need years of experience. We care much more about how you think, learn and work.

You’ll probably thrive here if you:

* Are genuinely interested in FMCG, retail, entrepreneurship and brand building

* Are meticulous and naturally double check your work

* Take responsibility and follow things through

* Enjoy spreadsheets, systems and organising information

* Are commercially curious and interested in what drives sales

* Communicate clearly and proactively

* Ask thoughtful questions and learn quickly from feedback

* Are comfortable speaking to customers and representing a brand
