About this role

As part of the team, you’ll also have exposure to Qogita’s New Ventures work, our internal venture-building engine exploring new markets, product categories, and business opportunities.
As a New Ventures Intern (Business Development), your mission is to support the team in building and converting the customer pipeline while gaining hands-on exposure to how new business opportunities are identified, tested, and developed. You’ll build core commercial skills across B2B sales, customer acquisition, market research, and early-stage venture building - giving you a strong foundation for a career in sales, business development, or entrepreneurship.
Qogita [Ko-gi-ta] is revolutionizing wholesale procurement. We provide a one-stop shop for branded products, available in a single click at competitive prices.

We’re one of the fastest-growing B2B companies globally, backed by top investors behind companies like Facebook, Etsy, and Shopify.
Our tight-knit, highly motivated team thrives on curiosity and impact. Everyone contributes hands-on, takes initiative, and drives results. We value a strong work ethic, smart prioritization, and a relentless focus on excellence.
