Field Execution & Brand Visibility Intern

We are looking for a Field Execution & Brand Visibility Intern to support our presence across bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and retail stores in the Deutschschweiz region. This role is essential to ensuring our products are easy to find, properly displayed, and consistently represented in the market.

You will visit points of sale, check execution standards, deliver promotional materials, collect key information, and support product visibility initiatives — especially for our Aperol portfolio. Your work will complement the efforts of our Sales team by strengthening in‑store execution and contributing valuable insights from the field.

What This Trainee Experience Offers You

This internship opportunity is designed for students in hospitality, business, marketing, and related fields who want real, hands‑on market experience. You’ll spend time inside bars, restaurants, and retail stores, gaining a practical understanding of how brands operate, how consumer decisions are influenced, and how commercial strategies play out in the real world. The role helps you develop valuable skills in communication, customer interaction, problem‑solving, and brand execution - competencies that are highly relevant for careers in marketing, sales, retail management, events, or hospitality. You’ll also work closely with Sales and Marketing teams, giving you direct exposure to how companies build brands, activate campaigns, and collaborate with customers. This experience expands your professional network, strengthens your CV, and provides a strong foundation for future roles in consumer goods, hospitality, or broader business environments.

• Contribute to smoother commercial interactions by helping maintain well‑executed, well‑supported points of sale.
