You don't become the best-selling car brand in the Netherlands by accident. That is why we are looking for new talent to join our team. A great internship position is becoming available in the Channel & Sales Development department. Does this sound like you?

• The coffee will be brought to you (if you do the same for us every now and then). This way, you have more time to truly participate in the team.

• Before you have time to get bored, the next colleague will already be at your desk. This is because we want to learn from you. We know enough about building cars and selling them—but you understand the mobility needs of future generations.

• Your English will come in handy in our international environment. Good command of Dutch and English (both spoken & written) is very important in this role.

• You are social, make conversation easily, and are professional, which helps with contact with colleagues and external relations.

• You are allowed to deal with cars all day. This internship is therefore ideal if you are a car enthusiast. We even pay you for it.

Together with the dealers in the Netherlands, we position the Kia brand best in the market by inspiring and surprising!

The Sales Development team is responsible for direct contact with the dealer organization regarding sales, whereby the entire logistics process is handled by this department. The orders of new cars, transport, delivery, and all associated processes are managed effectively here on a daily basis.

During this internship period, you will be the linchpin within the Channel & Sales Development team. You will receive various responsibilities to support Channel and Sales Development with analyses, logistics, and the processing of sales processes.

• You are a third- or fourth-year HBO student in commercial economics, business economics, or business administration. But you will be treated just like any full colleague in the team.

• You have an affinity with cars and the automotive industry. That helps enormously, if we do say so ourselves.

• You possess good communication skills, you are a true self-starter, creative, analytically strong, and you possess good presentation skills;

• You possess a Category B driver's license
