Sales & Marketing Intern

About SmartFins

Founded by a team of professionals who have navigated the German financial landscape for over a decade, SmartFins is a trusted financial platform dedicated to eliminating language and bureaucratic barriers. While we have built our reputation helping international professionals achieve financial freedom through transparent investments, loans, and real estate guidance, we are rapidly expanding. We are launching a brand-new corporate branch focused on outsourced accounting and financial compliance services built specifically for growing businesses, startups, and international founders scaling across Germany, the EU, and the UK. As our intern, you will be right at the forefront of launching and marketing this new B2B business line

⚠️ Important Legal Note (German Labor Law Compliance): To ensure full compliance with German minimum wage regulations (Mindestlohngesetz), this is an unpaid educational internship position. Therefore, we can only accept applicants who meet one of the two strict statutory exceptions:

1️⃣ Mandatory Internship (Pflichtpraktikum): The internship is an explicit, required component of your current university degree program or examination regulations (Prüfungsordnung). 2️⃣ Orientation Internship (Orientierungspraktikum): A voluntary internship for orientation purposes lasting a maximum of 3 months, provided you are currently enrolled in a university or exploring an upcoming study path.

What we’re looking for:

• Current students in Business Administration, Marketing, Communications, or a related field.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (our primary operating language).
• German skills are a strong plus but not mandatory.
• An entrepreneurial mindset—you aren't afraid to pick up the phone, write outreach emails, or pitch services to businesses.
• Basic understanding of digital marketing channels, social media strategy, or B2B sales pipelines.

What you will learn & do:

• Help execute out-of-the-box outreach strategies to reach expats and UK/EU businesses needing German accounting services.
• Research new market opportunities and assist with B2B lead generation for our new accounting branch.
• Create and manage engaging content for our professional networks (like LinkedIn).

What We Offer You

Please Note: This is an unpaid position carefully structured around your academic calendar to focus on mentorship and skill acquisition.

• Official German Work Experience Certificate (Arbeitszeugnis): A detailed, professionally drafted reference letter highlighting your specific achievements in marketing and operations—a vital asset for your future career applications in Germany.
• 100% Remote Flexibility: Easily adjust your working hours around your lectures, exams, and personal commitments.
• Diverse Skill Building: Unlike standard internships that isolate you in one department, this role lets you learn both client-facing marketing and operational project procurement.
• Direct Impact: You will work closely with the leadership team, meaning your research and content will directly shape the business's direction.
