About ADORNO

ADORNO is the curated marketplace for unique contemporary design and craft, representing 500+ studios across 60+ countries and serving private & professional buyers across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia. Built by a dedicated, small global team we've established ourselves as a world leader in connecting exceptional makers with the collectors and design professionals who value them most.

The Role

We're looking for a motivated Online Sales Intern, in the final year of a Master's degree in Business, ideally with some prior exposure to sales or the design/creative sector. You'll support a live pipeline of private and professional (trade) leads — building your skills in outreach, follow-up, and client communication, with growing ownership as you settle in.

What You'll Do

• Pipeline support — Help manage a pipeline of private and professional leads, keeping conversations, quotes, and follow-ups up to date
• New business outreach — Support outreach to new trade clients (roughly 7-10/week) and handle incoming private buyer inquiries, with guidance on prioritizing opportunities
• Client communication — Handle written and spoken correspondence with private and professional clients across markets, aiming for clarity and professionalism
• Deal follow-up — Follow up consistently across both client types, building toward ownership of targets and KPIs
• Multi-tasking — Manage several leads and tasks at once in a fast-paced environment, with support as priorities shift
• Feedback & growth — Take on structured coaching and apply feedback to improve week over week

What You Bring

• Based in Europe, in the last year of a Master's degree in Business
• Tech-savvy, quick to learn new software tools
• Results-oriented — motivated by targets and accountability, eager to learn pipeline management
• Proactive — comfortable following up and spotting opportunities, with guidance
• Good written and spoken English, comfortable with international clients, private and professional
• Organized — able to track a handful of leads and projects without gaps
• Client-focused, able to adapt tone between private buyers and trade professionals
• Adaptable under pressure and shifting priorities
• Appreciation for design and/or art is a nice-to-have

How Success Is Measured

• Pipeline activity — New trade clients sourced weekly (7-10 target), plus consistent handling of private inquiries
• Conversion — Progress on lead-to-deal conversion across both segments
• Client experience — Clarity, professionalism, and responsiveness
• Reliability — Leads tracked and followed up on consistently, with support as needed

As you grow into the role, focus shifts toward greater independence across both private and professional segments.

Why ADORNO

• Global reach, real impact — Gain hands-on experience in international B2B and B2C sales with a global network of designers and craftspeople
• A team that raises the bar — Join an ambitious team with real mentorship and increasing ownership as you grow
• A launchpad, not busywork — Your contributions support real client relationships and revenue, with visible impact
• Rewarded for results — A successful internship can lead to a full-time position
