Can you turn ad spend into sign-ups? We're looking for a Digital Marketing Intern who can run the full marketing cycle solo: ads, funnels, conversions, all of it.

No hand-holding. Just real ownership, real budgets, and campaigns you can proudly showcase to future employers.

Based in Leuven, studying Digital Marketing? Self-starter who learns fast? Apply now — Vlugg is waiting for someone quick enough to keep up. 

We are looking for a highly proactive Digital Marketing Intern who can take ownership of Vlugg's marketing end-to-end from strategy and planning to execution, optimisation, conversion and reporting.

The ideal candidate should:

* Have a strong understanding of Digital Marketing, Growth Marketing and Conversion Optimisation.

* Be highly proficient in Meta platforms Facebook & Instagram, including Ads Manager, campaign setup, audience targeting, retargeting, A/B testing, analytics and optimisation.

* Be an advanced user of AI tools for research, strategy, content creation, creative development, automation, analytics and productivity.

* Be capable of independently developing and executing social media, paid advertising, content, SEO and digital acquisition strategies.

* Understand marketing metrics such as CTR, CPC, CPM, CPL, CPA, conversion rate, ROAS and CAC, and be able to use data to improve performance.

* Be comfortable with Canva and other digital content/creative tools, including AI-powered creative tools.

* Be able to manage multiple marketing activities simultaneously, prioritise effectively and meet deadlines.

* Have a data-driven, experiment-and-learn mindset, test, measure, analyse and improve.

* Be a self-starter who requires minimal hand-holding and is comfortable taking ownership of outcomes.

* Be able to research, identify opportunities, propose solutions and execute them independently rather than waiting for instructions.

* Have excellent written Nederlands, English (French optional) communication and copywriting skills.

* Previous experience managing a social media account, running campaigns, building content or working with a startup is highly desirable.

Most importantly: We are looking for someone who doesn't simply complete assigned marketing tasks, but someone who can think like a Growth Marketer, take ownership and continuously find ways to increase Vlugg's reach, engagement, leads and conversions.

What We Offer

• Build Vlugg’s Marketing Strategy from the Ground Up:

Your initial assignment will be to develop a comprehensive Marketing & Growth Strategy for Vlugg — starting in Leuven, with a clear roadmap for expansion across Belgium and eventually beyond Belgium. This includes defining the target audiences, channels, campaigns, acquisition strategy, conversion approach, execution roadmap and measurable reporting framework.

• An Accelerated Learning Experience:

Work closely with a young tech startup and gain hands-on exposure to real-world digital marketing, growth, customer acquisition and conversion optimisation.

• Real Ownership & Autonomy:

Bring your ideas to the table, test them, analyse the results and turn successful experiments into scalable marketing initiatives — with the freedom to take ownership rather than simply execute instructions.

• Exposure to Different Facets of a Growing Tech Business:

Go beyond social media. Gain practical experience across marketing strategy, content, Meta advertising, AI-powered marketing, SEO, analytics, customer acquisition, conversion optimisation and growth.

• Build a Marketing Function from the Ground Up:

Help establish and scale Vlugg’s Marketing & Growth function at a very early stage, creating processes, campaigns and systems that can grow with the company.

• A Portfolio of Real-World Work:

Build tangible strategies, campaigns, experiments and growth projects that you can showcase in your professional portfolio.

• Experience Certificate:

Receive an official experience certificate upon successful completion of the internship.

• Startup Stipend

As part of the selection process, shortlisted candidates will be asked to submit a Marketing & Growth Strategy for Vlugg, including a clear execution plan and relevant supporting materials.

Selected candidates will be offered a paid internship. As an early-stage startup, Vlugg currently offers a modest internship stipend rather than a market-level salary. The opportunity is designed for someone who values meaningful ownership, accelerated learning and the opportunity to grow alongside Vlugg from its early stages, with the potential to develop into a long-term role within the company.

• A Potential Career Pathway with Vlugg:

Untimately, we are looking for an intern who can grow with Vlugg beyond the internship. If there is a strong mutual fit, our aim is to develop the role into a full-time leadership position, with the opportunity to take ownership of and eventually lead the entire Marketing & Growth function as Vlugg scales.
