Business Development Representative Intern - Uk Market

Milan, Italy

6-month paid internship (stage curricolare o extra curriculare)

Start: As soon as possible

Who we are:

We are a team of business-driven builders with prior experience in managing logistics scale-ups on a mission to revolutionize packaging. We are tackling the single-use packaging problem by offering retail and e-commerce brands a circular packaging service that enhances their sustainability efforts while elevating their business.

The process is simple: customers receive their purchases in our Movopack packaging, enjoy a unique unboxing experience, then simply drop the packaging in any mailbox across Europe. Our European postal logistics system handles the rest: we collect, clean, sanitize, and return the packaging to the brand for its next use.

The results speak for themselves: no more single-use packaging waste, an 84% reduction in CO₂ emissions, and brands enjoy higher customer retention, a boost in average order value (AOV) and improved cart conversion rates.

Oh, we almost forgot: final customers are crazy about it! (79% NPS)

We are already active all over Europe, managing hundreds of thousands of packaging units for more than 100 brands. Major partners include Vinted, Decathlon, OTB Group, Prénatal, Yamamay, OVS, Wind Tre, with new collaborations launching soon – stay tuned! We are achieving remarkable momentum, with sales growing 4x year-over-year.

We have closed our €2,3 million seed round, supported by leading international VC firms and multi-billion-euro packaging companies, to drive our expansion across Europe.

We are now expanding our team of talents – and this is where you come in!
