Marketing & Sales Internship - Summer 2026 (ASAP Start)
Strive Collective is a London-based company delivering face-to-face campaigns across events, retail locations, and promotional spaces. We work with organisations in the energy sector, helping them connect directly with customers and increase awareness of their services.
We are offering a 3-month Summer Internship Programme for individuals looking to gain hands-on experience in sales, leadership development, and business operations within a fast-paced, people-focused environment.
This internship is designed to provide practical, real-world experience, with structured training and clear exposure to how a sales-focused business operates.
Overview
This is a full-time, on-site internship based in London, running for 3 months.
Interns will begin by developing core skills in face-to-face sales and customer engagement, before gaining exposure to team leadership and the operational side of the business.
This is not a classroom-based internship all training is delivered through hands-on experience and guided development.
Reasons to use Rodeo

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
