Role Overview

The Internship in Sales Support Team with Romanian-First Gen 2026 offers university students a prime opportunity to immerse themselves in the dynamic world of sales operations at PepsiCo. Based in our city-centre office in Kraków, Malopolskie, Poland, this role focuses on supporting the local sales team with a special emphasis on Romanian market activities. Interns work at least 20 hours per week for up to 12 months, in a non-remote, full-time capacity during office hours. You'll collaborate with inspiring colleagues in an informal, get-things-done culture that rewards drive, ingenuity, and agility. This position is ideal for motivated students eager to apply analytical skills to real-world sales challenges while earning a competitive salary and benefits.

Why This Internship Stands Out

Unlike traditional internships, PepsiCo's program provides hands-on experience next to seasoned professionals. You'll handle promotion planning, invoice analysis, and performance reporting, directly impacting PepsiCo's market-leading brands in the Food & Beverage sector.

Key Responsibilities

• Effectively communicating with the local Sales Team to align on objectives and updates.
• Setting and releasing promotions to drive customer engagement and sales growth.
• Analysing customer invoices and connecting them accurately to trade promotions for precise tracking.
• Working on updating and optimizing promotion plans tailored for PepsiCo customers.
• Creating detailed reports to track promotions profit and measure ROI.
• Analysing the efficiency of promo strategies to recommend data-driven improvements.

These responsibilities will sharpen your analytical prowess and sales acumen, preparing you for future roles in the competitive Food & Beverage industry.

To thrive in this internship, candidates must meet these essential criteria:

• Fluent in Romanian (essential for Romanian-first gen focus).
• Intermediate level of English for effective communication.

• Ability to quickly learn new software and IT systems.
• Basic knowledge or strong interest in sales, with motivation to develop further.
• Experience with Excel and Microsoft Office programs.
• Flexibility, a can-do attitude, good written and oral communication skills.
• Excellent analytical and numerical skills; detail and result-oriented mindset.

No prior professional experience is required, but enthusiasm for sales and quick adaptability are key.

Benefits & Perks

PepsiCo values its interns as future leaders, offering a comprehensive package:

• Competitive salary estimated at 65,000-95,000 PLN yearly, based on Poland's Food & Beverage sector rates.
• Multisport card for fitness and wellness activities.
• Access to our exclusive well-being platform for mental and physical health support.
• Informal, engaging office atmosphere in Kraków's city centre.
• Year-round flexibility with durations up to 12 months.
