Market Launcher, Sales Internship

💙 About Bounce

At Bounce we’re on a mission to make people’s journeys lighter, because we believe nobody should have to plan their day around their stuff.

We started with the largest luggage storage network on the planet: 35,000+ local businesses across 100+ countries, where travelers drop their bags and get on with their day. Now we’re going further, with luggage delivery and our own 24/7 lockers. Our goal is for “bounce it” to be the first thing people say when they arrive in a new city.

We’re a small, nimble team across Lisbon, San Francisco, and Tokyo. We move fast, test ideas early, and change course when the data tells us to. If you want to make travel lighter for everyone, come build it with us.

We were named the fastest-growing travel company in the US on the 2024 Inc 5000, and we’re backed by leading Silicon Valley investors, including a16z, General Catalyst, and 359 Capital.

About The Role

As a Market Launcher Intern at Bounce, you’ll join our Sales Academy, a structured 5–6 month internship designed to give you the training, coaching, and hands-on experience you need to start your career in sales.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of sales from the ground up, with structured onboarding, training, and ongoing support from experienced sales leaders. As you progress through the program, you’ll gradually take on more ownership and responsibility across the full sales cycle.

You’ll learn how to identify opportunities, generate leads, build relationships with local businesses, run sales conversations, close deals, and manage your own pipeline.

By the end of the program, you’ll have the skills and experience to step into a Junior Sales role and continue developing your career in sales.

Start date: February 2027
Duration: 5–6 months
