Who we are
At MOTH we're here for cocktails, company, and conversation. That's why we make the most delicious cocktails in a can - so that special mix can happen anywhere. Hands up - we're obsessive. Every sip delicious and distinguished. Our cocktails are classics, and our ingredients are second to none. At the same time - we're not snobbish. We don't talk in master mixologist lingo. We have no fancy bar or dress-code. And we believe in fair prices for great drinks. Because when you've got good friends and fine blends, what more do you need? Mix of total happiness. MOTH.
We are one of the fastest growing FMCG brands, re-writing the rules of RTD cocktails, and facing unprecedented growth. Our success is down to the work that our magic MOTHs do, we hire exceptional people to do exceptional things. We're looking for a superstar Sales and Activation intern to help support the team during our biggest summer ever.
The Role
This summer, you'll be the face of MOTH across one of our key London territories—either SW & Central or East & North—bringing the brand to life where it matters most: in stores, on the streets, and in front of customers.
Unlocking New Opportunities:
* Partner with our Convenience and Wholesale team to get MOTH into new convenience stores, support wholesale depot activity, and lead in-store sampling sessions (note: some of these may be on weekends but you would get time back in lieu)

Becoming a Store Champion:

* Drive brand visibility and product availability through creative, proactive engagement with those store teams.
* Spot opportunities to expand MOTH's presence, increase sales, and ensure we're always looking our best.
* Report back on competitor activity and share valuable insights—not just in RTDs, but across relevant categories.
* Take ownership of your top store sales numbers
Going the Extra Mile:
* Get out there—spend real time with customers and become an expert in how brands thrive in-store.
* Think big and act bold—bring fresh, creative ideas to keep MOTH front of mind.
* Pitch exciting, innovative activation ideas to our Off-Trade team to shape the future of how MOTH shows up in the real world.

* As this is an entry level role, no direct experience needed, although some sales experience would be an advantage
* Confidence in speaking to new people and approaching new customers
