We are Authbound, a Tampere-based tech startup building infrastructure for the European Digital Identity Wallet ecosystem.
A major new market is opening across Europe. eIDAS 2.0 is creating new opportunities for businesses to use secure digital identity, KYC, age verification, and digital credentials. We are building the B2B SaaS layer that helps companies integrate these capabilities simply and securely.
We are moving fast. We are developing our product, building partnerships, and working to become a key player in the European EUDI ecosystem.
Now, we are looking for a hungry, creative, and commercially minded student to join us for a hands-on internship. This is a 50/50 Growth and Marketing role: you will create content and develop our brand, but you will also help us reach potential customers, build pipeline, and support revenue growth.
We are building our core team and looking for top talent.
đ Growth & Marketing Intern
The Mission: Great technology needs both strong marketing and strong sales execution. You will help Authbound communicate a complex digital-identity product clearly, build awareness in the market, and turn that attention into conversations with potential customers and partners.
This role is ideal for someone with marketing skills who also wants to learn how B2B growth, sales, and startup business development work in practice.
Your Job: This is not a âwatch and learnâ internship. You will work on real marketing activities and real customer acquisition. We will support and train you in outreach, but we are especially interested in someone who already has a strong eye for marketing, visual content, and social-media communication.
What youâll do
Marketing Content and Visuals: Create short-form videos, LinkedIn visuals, carousels, social-media posts, simple product visuals, and other marketing assets. You will help turn complex topics, such as digital identity, EUDI Wallets, KYC, age verification, and digital credentials, into content that business decision-makers can understand.
Social Media and Brand Building: Help develop Authboundâs presence on LinkedIn and other relevant channels. You will plan and publish content, test different formats and messaging angles, and help us build a clear and consistent visual identity.
Marketing Analytics and Insights: Track the performance of our LinkedIn and social-media content. You will analyse reach, impressions, engagement, follower growth, clicks, video performance, and content themes. Most importantly, you will turn those findings into clear recommendations about what is working, what is not working, and what we should test next.
B2B Outreach and Prospecting: Help us identify potential customers and partners in relevant industries, such as fintech, e-commerce, mobility, marketplaces, and other digital services. You will research companies and decision-makers, build prospect lists, support outbound campaigns, and help start conversations with the right people.
Sales and Growth Support: Work with the founders to improve messaging, outreach materials, sales decks, and campaign ideas. You will learn how a B2B SaaS startup builds pipeline, qualifies potential customers, and turns early market interest into revenue.
Experimentation and Growth: Suggest and test practical marketing and growth experiments. For example, you might explore which types of LinkedIn content generate the most relevant engagement, which target segments respond to outreach, or how marketing content can support sales conversations.
What weâre looking for
We are primarily looking for someone with strong marketing capability and a genuine interest in visual content creation. You do not need to be an experienced salesperson, as we can teach you the outreach side of the role. However, you should be comfortable communicating with people, interested in business growth, and motivated by the idea of helping a startup win customers.
- A student in marketing, communications, business, media, design, sales, or a related field
- Strong visual eye and interest in video and social-media content creation
- Experience with Canva, CapCut, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, or similar tools
- Familiarity with LinkedIn and an understanding of professional B2B content
- Ability to look at marketing data and draw clear conclusions from it
- Interest in B2B sales, prospecting, customer acquisition, and startup growth
- Willingness to learn outbound outreach and communicate with potential customers
- Strong written and spoken English and Finnish communication skills
- Independent, reliable, curious, and willing to take initiative
- A portfolio or examples of videos, social-media posts, designs, or other creative work is a major plus
Why Authbound?
Expect real impact from day one. You will be an essential part of the team, learning how marketing and business development work in an early-stage B2B SaaS startup.
You will get to build a real marketing portfolio while also gaining practical experience in customer acquisition, outreach, prospect research, and sales communication. You will work closely with the founders and directly see how content, marketing activity, customer conversations, and revenue connect.
The internship can provide university credits and may also develop into a thesis topic or a longer-term role as Authbound grows. While the initial internship is unpaid, our goal is to offer paid, long-term opportunities to successful interns as the company scales.
