Commercial Internship Fall 2026
About Lanterna

Today we have over 250 customers spread over more than 80 countries. Our environment is vibrant, caring, and creatively charged.
About the internship
You’ll be joining our commercial team at a pivotal moment- an established, loved business model with huge potential for growth worldwide. This is a business development internship and we deliberately keep it commercially broad. You’ll get real exposure across different parts of the commercial organisation: from lead generation and outbound prospecting to data analysis, marketing and commercial operations.
You will see all parts of the commercial organisation, and where you spend the majority of your time will depend on who you are. Finding the right match in attitude, mindset, and ambition is far more important to us than ticking a checklist. We’ll build the focus around where you shine.
What ties it all together: you’ll be doing real work, as a real part of the team, pointed at real commercial goals and you’re not afraid to get stuff done.
Areas of work
Depending on your profile and where you add most value, your work could include:
Researching and building targeted lead lists of IB schools
Supporting outbound prospecting via LinkedIn, email, and CRM (we use HubSpot)
Analysing data, conversion rates, and market coverage to sharpen our go-to-market approach
Helping Account Executives with pipeline tracking, follow-ups, and meeting preparation
Using AI tools to accelerate research, personalise outreach, and improve team efficiency
Drive projects around efficiency and creating scalable processes
Support Marketing with e.g. content creation, campaigns or events planning
Who you are
We don't care much about your CV. We care about how you think and how you show up.
You take ownership. If something needs doing, you do it - you don't wait to be told.
You have a genuine commercial instinct, curious about how businesses grow and energised by being part of that.
You're comfortable with ambiguity and can structure your own day without a minute-by-minute plan. Ideally you see where you can add value and you act on that.
You move fast and learn faster. When something doesn't work, you iterate.
You bring your full self to work. No performance, no politics, just honest effort.
Perhaps most importantly, you’re humble, and curious to learn and contribute!
