Marketing & Operations Intern

Mahalo is a food and drink distributor that curates the most exciting food & drink brands for the independent retail sector. Our customers are the loveliest people: owners of independent farm shops, modern grocers and delis across the country who all need help filling their shelves with great food and drink products.

We’re looking for someone energetic with a great, can-do attitude to join our close knit team and support our founder with administrative tasks and the team with day to day operations and marketing. This is a great opportunity for someone to get a deep understanding of all areas of the business and the chance to play a key role as part of a growing business.

We’re a female led, all female team based in London. Our offices are in Liverpool Street and we’re a hybrid team working from home for three days a week and going into the office twice a week, so you'll need to be able to commute in too.

What will you be doing?

• Actively supporting our founder with administrative tasks related to sourcing new brands
• Liaising with our suppliers to organise Lunch & Learns with our sales team and organising samples for customers
• Notetaking and keeping minutes during meetings
• Managing our customer database and ensuring that contact details are kept up to date
• Organising team lunches and snacks and team related events
• Supporting the marketing team with new projects
• Supporting the operations team with order management

• Experience working in fast paced customer-facing roles

What we’re offering
