Vacancy:

GP is a small, but rapidly growing company, where your contribution will make all the difference. These Marketing Internships provide an opportunity to gain experience of working on the delivery and co-ordination of a variety of ‘below-the-line’ marketing strategies. Most core on-campus activities are delivered through an extensive network of carefully-managed Student Marketers. This Student Marketer Network (‘SMN’) consists of over 800 selected individuals (generally students) at 155 different Higher Education institutions across Europe who are engaged to perform specific marketing tasks as required.

During your internship you will primarily be working with the SMN Manager to develop and manage this network and to liaise with GP’s client-facing Campaign Management Team on the execution of our Continental European campaigns. You will also assist more generally in the other business needs of this growing organisation. Office-based, your role will involve constant contact with active Student Marketers as they work on campaigns at various campuses to ensure our client expectations are met and exceeded. Part of your role will also be to maintain and develop GP’s relationships with our contacts at Continental European universities and other relevant institutions.

This role requires excellent organisation and communication skills to manage the flow of information between Student Marketers and the Campaign Management Team. You will be expected to be a good team player, pro-active, an on-the-go problem solver and to relish a fast-paced environment. You must be a quick learner and have a logical and hands-on approach. Fluency in German required.
