Internship, Retail Sales, Benelux team (Dutch speaking)

Why we are here
Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes an impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate.

Now we are on the hunt for our new Sales Intern to join our team in Amsterdam!   This internship offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on sales experience within the grocery retail channel in a growing company, all while making a significant positive impact in the world of cocoa.
