Date posted: Thursday 8th October
Location: Shoreditch, London

Here at Skimlinks.com, we're looking for some superstar interns who'd like to join a thriving tech start-up at the centre of the London web industry. We'll give you an amazing opportunity to gain valuable experience and you'll given real responsibility within our small but growing team.

Skimlinks has recently bagged a number of awards in the affiliate marketing industry and web worlds.

We want people to help us in the following areas of our business:

Account Management : liaising directly with existing clients in order to: develop relationships; solve issues and optimize their accounts. You'll be happy grabbing the phone and sorting out problems.

Operations: working with our ops team to ensure the efficiency of our technology, quality assurance and real-time updates to the system. You will need to have an eye for detail, and the ability to multi-task.

Business Development : working with our Biz Dev team to develop our potential-client pipeline: discovery of potential clients; contact and follow-up with leads. You will need to demonstrate initiative and independence in your work.

We hope that through working across these three, very separate areas of our business, you will be provided with an extremely diverse insight into the workings of our company.

We are looking for people with tons of enthusiasm, a great work ethic and a passion for technology. Experience with the blogging/tech community is a bonus.

Applicants should be extremely confident communicators; comfortable over the phone to people in various continents. Competence with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, is expected.

A word from one of our recent interns:

"I have massively enjoyed my time here at Skimlinks: the team here were incredibly welcoming from the start and I feel that I’ve developed skills which should stand me in good stead for the future."

Callum, 3rd year Warwick University undergraduate, Skimlinks Intern Summer 09.

This internship is flexible in length, with potential for employment for the right person.

To apply, please send your cover letter and CV through the Gumtree link, and include brief answers to the following questions. We're serious about this one: you'll be amazed how many people don't bother, and you can guess where their CVs end up! ;-)

1) Describe an example of a time you've demonstrated initiative and analytical problem-solving when faced with a specific challenge.

2) Which internet and e-commerce industry trends do you think will be important for a product like Skimlinks.com in 2010 and why?

We look forward to hearing from you!
