Business Development Analyst Internship

Informa Markets, a division within Informa, creates global platforms for industries. We organise over 500 large-scale branded and transaction-oriented events in 14 specialist markets. These are typically not-tobe-missed annual events where buyers and sellers build relationships, see and show products and do business.

We also provide year-round online platforms where companies showcase their businesses and products and buyers conduct research, generating valuable leads, and we provide data and digital content that supports the flow of knowledge and transactions in markets. 

This role is based in our Amsterdam, Netherlands Office.

What you’ll do (60%): Retention & Customer Insight

• Net new retention: Build a churn-risk score for first-year exhibitors and sponsors; flag at-risk accounts to Sales before rebooking opens.
• Customer journey: Help us mapping the ‘net new’ customer journey end to end, from contract to rebook; find the drop-off points and propose fixes.
• Churn & rebook insights: Analyse why customers stay or leave; turn findings into a monthly insight pack for BD and Sales leadership.
• Sales process & CRM: Improve Salesforce data quality, pipeline hygiene and conversion reporting (together with Sales Ops).

What you’ll do (40%): Process & Digital Enablement

• Communication streamlining: Audit pre, during and post-event customer comms with Commercial Marketing; cut duplication and sharpen the message.
• Ancillary web development: Support content, data and testing for customer-facing digital products and pages (with Commercial Marketing).
• Event-led BD: Support the CPHI Frankfurt 2027 sales cycle with account research, outreach lists and follow-up analytics.
