About YEP
We reduce advertising's environmental impact.
YEP is an advertising services company helping brands, media agencies and publishers reduce the environmental impact of their advertising campaigns.
Advertising creates business value, but it also consumes energy, uses resources and generates emissions.
We help companies measure advertising emissions, identify opportunities to reduce their environmental footprint and manage residual emissions. We also support local environmental regeneration projects, creating opportunities for brands to connect with local communities and tell meaningful stories.
Our goal is simple: to create value for businesses, people and the planet through advertising.
Better Media. Better Business. Better Planet.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Business Development Intern to help grow YEP's presence in Spain and support our commercial expansion.
Working closely with our leadership and commercial teams, you will help identify potential clients, develop relationships and create new business opportunities with brands, media agencies, publishers and industry partners.
Advertising's environmental impact is becoming an increasingly relevant topic for the industry, but many companies are still exploring how to address it in practical ways.
At YEP, business development is about more than selling a service. It's about understanding client challenges, introducing new solutions and helping companies discover how environmental performance can become part of their advertising strategy.
You'll gain hands-on experience across the entire commercial process, from market research and prospecting to client meetings, proposals, partnerships and new business development.
Key Objectives
Your role will focus on three areas.
1. Discover Opportunities
Research the Spanish advertising market, identify potential clients and partners, and understand where YEP's services can create value.
2. Build Relationships
Help initiate conversations and develop relationships with marketing teams, sustainability professionals, media agencies, publishers and industry stakeholders.
3. Develop Business
Support the commercial team in turning conversations into proposals, pilot projects, partnerships and long-term client relationships.
Key Responsibilities
- Research and identify potential clients, partners and business opportunities, primarily in Spain.
- Support prospecting and outreach to brands, media agencies, publishers and industry partners.
- Help prepare commercial presentations, proposals and client-facing materials.
- Participate in client meetings, presentations, workshops and industry events.
- Coordinate follow-ups and support opportunities throughout the sales process.
- Keep our CRM and commercial pipeline organised and up to date.
- Support the development of strategic partnerships and new commercial initiatives.
- Collaborate with Marketing and Thought Leadership to turn research, content and industry insights into business opportunities.
- Contribute ideas to improve our commercial approach and strengthen YEP's market presence.
Who We're Looking For We're looking for someone curious, proactive and entrepreneurial who enjoys meeting people, exploring new ideas and building relationships.
You don't need to be an expert in advertising or sustainability. What matters most is your willingness to learn, your commercial mindset and your motivation to help a growing business succeed.
Ideally, you bring:
- Ongoing studies or a recent degree in Business, Marketing, Advertising, Economics, Communications or a related field.
- A genuine interest in sales, business development and client relationships.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Confidence in reaching out to new people and presenting ideas.
- An organised, proactive and results-oriented approach.
- Curiosity about advertising, media, technology, sustainability and business innovation.
- Fluent Spanish and good English. Italian is a plus.
- Familiarity with CRM tools, presentations and basic business research is an advantage.
- Previous professional experience is welcome but not required.
Above all, we value initiative, curiosity and the ability to turn ideas into action.
What you'll gain
At YEP, you'll have the opportunity to experience what it takes to grow a business and develop a market. You'll work directly with our leadership team, contribute to real commercial initiatives and gain exposure to decision-makers across the advertising industry.
You'll have the opportunity to:
- Learn how business development works, from identifying opportunities to building lasting client relationships.
- Participate in meetings with brands, agencies, publishers and industry partners.
- Understand the commercial dynamics of the advertising and media industry.
- Gain practical experience in sales, partnerships, market development and client management.
- Work in an international, entrepreneurial environment with activities across Spain and Italy.
- Take on increasing responsibility as you develop your skills and experience.
The position offers a remote or hybrid working arrangement based in Madrid , with opportunities to participate in client meetings, industry events and commercial activities.
What success looks like
Success in this role isn't just about the number of leads generated. It's about identifying the right opportunities, opening meaningful conversations, building relationships and helping turn market interest into real business.
You'll be part of a team working to make environmental performance a more meaningful consideration in advertising, while helping YEP grow its presence in the Spanish market.
Ready to help us grow?
