Sales Analyst - Internship

12 months. Real accounts. Real numbers. And a permanent role at the end if you earn it! 🚀
Who We Are?

ZURU is a reimagination company. We look for categories that have stood still, then we build next-generation products and brands that set the new standard. ZURU Toys is reimagining play. ZURU Edge is reinventing everyday consumer brands. Rhodes Pet Science is reimagining pet science. ZURU Tech is leading the next building revolution.

ZURU started in 2003 with two brothers from New Zealand, and we're still founder-owned and operated today. Since then we've become the world's second-biggest privately held toy company, and nearly half of all Gen Y and Gen Z households with kids in the US own a ZURU product. Today we're 5,000 people in 34 offices, selling into more than 150 markets, backed by over 100 acres of fully automated manufacturing. And we're only getting started.

📍The Opportunity:

A 12-month, hands-on internship in the ZURU Edge CEE team in Warsaw, combining sales analytics with day-to-day key account support. You will help turn sell-in and sell-out data into insights that grow ZURU brands with the leading drugstore, hypermarket and supermarket retailers across Poland and CEE. Ideal for a final-year student or recent graduate who wants real responsibility from day one – with the opportunity of a permanent junior role at the end of the internship, based on performance.

📊 The Impact You'll Make:

We're looking for a commercially curious Sales Analyst Intern to join our fast-growing, insight-led CEE commercial team for 12 months. You will support our Key Account team with the analysis that drives decisions – turning data into stories and strategy – while learning the account management craft hands-on, from customer meetings to promotional planning.

Working closely with the Head of Sales and our Key Account Managers, you will support trade performance reporting, range reviews and promotional ROI analysis across key Polish and CEE retailers – Rossmann, Hebe, Carrefour, Kaufland, Auchan, Dino, Biedronka, Żabka and others – covering our Beauty & Personal Care, Baby Care, Home Care, Pet Care and Confectionery portfolio.

📌 What You'll Do?

Sales Performance & Reporting

• Prepare weekly, monthly and ad-hoc sell-in and sell-out reports for key retailers in Poland and CEE.

• Build dashboards tracking sell-out, distribution, share of shelf and promo uplift.

• Track KPIs against targets, flag risks and opportunities, and keep data accurate.

Promotional & Trade Analysis

• Measure promo effectiveness and incremental ROI against forecast and prior period.

• Support Joint Business Plan (JBP) preparation and evaluation, and track retailer execution in-store and online.

Range Review & Category Support

• Build customer-ready category stories from NielsenIQ, Circana and retailer data to support range reviews and new listings.

• Track SKU distribution gains and losses, and report on new product launches.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with Marketing on promo calendars and campaign results.

• Work with Supply Chain on forecast variances and stock availability.

• Work with Finance on trade spend, budget vs. actual and P&L commentary.

Key Account Support

• Support Key Account Managers with orders, listings, master data, price lists and retailer portals.

• Join customer meetings and help prepare negotiation materials and promo proposals.

• Deliver your own project to the CEE leadership team.

💡 What You'll Bring?

Essential:

· Final-year student or recent graduate (within the last 12 months); previous internships, student projects or part-time work in sales, retail or analytics are a plus. Available full-time for 12 months.

· Strong Microsoft Excel (PivotTables, XLOOKUP, basic modelling) and PowerPoint skills – the ability to build clean, insight-led slides is a must.

· A strong analytical mindset and comfort working with large data sets.

· Commercial curiosity – you look at a number and want to know whether it's telling a good story or hiding a problem.

· Excellent attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple data streams and deadlines simultaneously.

· Confident communicator who can distil complex data into clear, concise insights for non-analytical audiences.

· Fluency in Polish and English (written and spoken), and the right to work in Poland.

Highly Regarded:

· Interest in, or exposure to, FMCG, beauty or major Polish retailers such as Rossmann, Hebe, Biedronka, Carrefour, Auchan, Kaufland or Dino.

· Studying towards, or holding, a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, Marketing or a related discipline.

· Experience with Power BI or Tableau, or with retail data such as NielsenIQ or Circana.

· An additional CEE language (Czech, Slovak, Hungarian or Croatian).
