Why do company cars sit idle while parking spaces are scarce? And how can we make sustainable mobility the most attractive choice?\nAt Urban Connect, we turn these challenges into practical solutions. We bring shared e-bikes and company cars, public transport, mobility budgets and digital parking management together on one platform. We help companies reduce costs, make better use of resources and give their employees greater freedom.\nCompanies such as Roche, Google, SWISS and Lonza already rely on us. Our ambition goes further: we want to transform how companies manage mobility.\nTo make that happen, we are looking for curious minds who take ownership and want to make a difference together.\nYour internship: accelerated learning, real responsibility\nWant to understand how a technology company grows-and help make it happen?\nDuring this six-month internship, you will work closely with our Sales and Account Management team, as well as Product and Operations. You will learn to understand customer needs, develop compelling solutions and turn data into tangible business opportunities.\nYour initiative matters. You will contribute your own ideas, take on increasing responsibility and see the impact of your work.\nHow you will make a difference\nTurn data into opportunities: analyse usage and market data, including vehicle and parking utilisation, and translate your findings into recommendations for better corporate mobility solutions.\n\nDrive your own projects: Work with the team lead to take ownership of clearly defined projects, such as analysing products, assessing sales opportunities and developing corporate mobility concepts.\n\nUnderstand the product: learn how customers are set up on our platform, how bookings and billing work, and how vehicles and parking barriers are connected.\n\nWork smarter with AI: use AI tools thoughtfully, test new applications and help us improve research, analysis and everyday processes.\n\nHelp drive growth: identify prospective customers, research their challenges and support the team in winning new business and expanding existing partnerships.\n\nMake a compelling case: create clear presentations, well-founded proposals and insightful quarterly reviews that demonstrate the value of our solutions.\n\nKeep things moving: maintain accurate customer data and activities in HubSpot, ensuring good conversations lead to clear next steps.\n\nConnect teams: resolve technical questions with the Product, Operations and Technology teams and communicate the answers clearly to customers and the Commercial team.\n\nWhat you bring\nAn excellent degree, for example in business, economics, data science, engineering or industrial engineering. We are looking for excellence, curiosity, creativity and courage - not to have studied a perfect subject.\n\nSome practical experience through an internship, part-time job, personal project or entrepreneurial initiative.\n\nAn analytical mindset, confidence with Excel and the ability to understand and communicate complex ideas and interdependencies clearly and simply.\n\nAbility to think outside of the box and to question conventional ways of doing things.\n\nExperience with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot - and the excellent judgement to critically assess their output. In fact, good judgment is a key criterion for success with us.\n\nAn interest in technological progress, the curiosity to truly understand how things work, and the confidence to contribute your questions and ideas to a highly motivated team.\n\nExcellent German and good English skills. French is a big plus.\n\nAbove all, we value your mindset: you learn quickly, ask thoughtful questions and think ahead. You take initiative, develop suggestions and seek support when you need it. You care about the details, strive to make good work even better and are willing to take a risk sometimes to try something new - even when that means making a mistake and learning from it.\nWhat you can expect\nHigh standards - and an environment of smart, kind people to challenge you to grow.\nWe are ambitious, give direct, constructive feedback and support one another. Excellence shows up in our everyday work: in thoughtful solutions, careful execution and the drive to keep improving.\nA view of the whole business.\nYou will work at the intersection of sales, customer success, technology and operations, learning how an idea becomes a solution that customers value.\nDirect access and room to take initiative.\nGood ideas get heard quickly here. Your responsibility grows with your capabilities and commitment.\nThe opportunity to build a future with us.\nIf we are a good fit for each other, there is an opportunity to join Urban Connect beyond the internship and grow with the company.\nYou will also benefit from:\nFlexible working hours and a beautiful office in Zurich.\n\nA monthly mobility budget and access to our e-bikes and shared electric cars.\n\nA motivated team that enjoys working together (mostly in person), sharing knowledge, growing together, and celebrating success together!\n\nReady to make a difference?\nSend us your CV and a few personal lines: Why Urban Connect? And what are you proud of having initiated, solved or improved yourself?\nWe look forward to meeting you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5307,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Public Transport","Smart Mobility"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T13:47:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.419,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":483,"expected_fill_days":142,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/urban-connect-business-development-intern","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/urban-connect-business-development-intern.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T14:08:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19799,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":689044},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=689044"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Furban-connect-business-development-intern"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Furban-connect-business-development-intern"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Furban-connect-business-development-intern"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/urban-connect-business-development-intern\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Furban-connect-business-development-intern"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3460766}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"urban-connect.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3460766},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
