Sales & Trade Marketing Internship
Miss Kim | London | Hybrid
Build an emerging FMCG brand from the inside.
Miss Kim is a Korean food and lifestyle brand on a mission to become a household name for authentic Korean food and culture.
From leading food retailers and museum shops to national distributors, trade shows and cultural events, we are building something much bigger than a food brand.
We are looking for a commercially curious, highly organised and proactive intern who wants to understand how an FMCG brand actually grows: winning retailers, developing accounts, activating products in store and turning consumer interest into sales.
This is a hands on learning role working closely with the Founder and wider team. You will combine practical work with mentoring, meetings, site visits and shadowing real commercial activity.
The Role
Position: Sales & Trade Marketing Intern
Location: London, hybrid
Hours: 20–25 hours per week, including hands on work, learning and shadowing
Duration: 10 weeks
Travel: Agreed work related travel expenses covered
Progression: Strong performers may be considered for future paid part time or full time opportunities as Miss Kim grows.
Your responsibility will increase throughout the internship as you learn the business and demonstrate good judgement and reliability.
What You’ll Do
Sales & Retail
- Maintain our CRM, sales pipeline and retailer database accurately
- Research and identify new retail opportunities
- Support retailer applications, sales enquiries and buyer follow ups
- Support relationships with existing independent retailers and stockists
- Track leads, samples, orders and outstanding actions
- Help prepare sales decks, product information and retailer materials
- Shadow and participate in selected retailer, distributor and buyer meetings
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Trade Marketing & Activations
- Support retailer specific promotions and trade marketing activity
- Participate in sampling sessions, markets, trade shows and brand activations
- Speak directly with consumers and retailers and gather useful feedback
- Track activation and sampling results
- Help turn consumer insights into practical commercial actions
- Support the preparation and execution of important brand and retail events
Commercial Learning & Systems
- Work with basic sales, stock and account data to identify patterns and opportunities
- Learn how CRM, retail, stock, logistics and marketing connect within an FMCG business
- Visit warehouses, retailers and industry events where relevant
- Identify missing information or gaps and suggest possible solutions
- Use AI and digital tools intelligently to work efficiently without compromising accuracy
- Learn to manage outstanding work and follow actions through to completion
This role isn’t just about completing tasks. We want someone who becomes increasingly curious about why something is being done, what happens next and how it contributes to the wider business.
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need years of experience. We care much more about how you think, learn and work.
You’ll probably thrive here if you:
- Are genuinely interested in FMCG, retail, entrepreneurship and brand building
- Are meticulous and naturally double check your work
- Take responsibility and follow things through
- Enjoy spreadsheets, systems and organising information
- Are commercially curious and interested in what drives sales
- Communicate clearly and proactively
- Ask thoughtful questions and learn quickly from feedback
- Are comfortable speaking to customers and representing a brand
- Can move between detailed desk based work and energetic customer facing activities
- Want to understand the less glamorous operational work behind building a successful brand
- Are serious about developing your skills and career

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Confidence with Google Sheets or Excel is essential.
Experience with CRM systems, Shopify, e-commerce, retail or hospitality is useful but not required. We can teach you the tools.
What You’ll Gain
A significant part of the internship is learning by working alongside the Founder and team.
Your 20–25 hours will include a combination of practical projects, mentoring and shadowing real commercial activity.
Depending on the week, you could find yourself:
- Sitting in on a retailer or distributor meeting
- Learning how a sales opportunity progresses from first contact to an order
- Visiting a warehouse or retailer
- Supporting a trade show or sampling activation
- Analysing why one product, retailer or activation performed differently from another
- Learning how stock, margins, logistics and sales decisions connect
- Seeing how decisions are made inside a fast growing founder led business
You’ll gain direct exposure to the realities of building an FMCG brand from the ground up, not simply one department of an established company.
For someone serious about a career in FMCG, sales, trade marketing, commercial roles or eventually building a business of their own, there is a lot to learn here.
Successful completion will include a strong reference, and outstanding interns will be considered first as paid opportunities develop within Miss Kim.
