Internship in Sales and Business Development 

Are you a relationship-builder with a strong commercial mindset and a sense for cutting-edge technology? MazeMap is currently looking for a couple of interns to join our amazing Sales team. 

We are a Norwegian indoor map and navigation scale-up aiming to be a global leader in a rapidly growing market. We are already well on the way with fantastic user uptake, customers across all continents, and being recognized as a market leader by analysts. We have already built a distribution network with large international companies like Cisco. With our award-winning service, we help millions of users find what they are looking for thus reducing stress, uncertainty and saving time. Read more at www.mazemap.com.

The challenge we solve

Humans are building larger and more complex buildings, and by 2050 we’ll build more buildings than throughout history on earth. Yet, no one has solved how users should navigate the buildings and help the users find what they are looking for. At MazeMap we are trying to solve this challenge by automating the production and update of indoor maps utilizing machine learning and AI. We want to help users find what they are looking for either being a classroom for lecture, the place for your hospital appointment, or the closest available meeting room.

The opportunity

We target the largest building complexes; universities, hospitals, large corporate offices, and hotels. Several hundred customers in Europe, APAC, and USA have already deployed and appreciate the MazeMap solution. We have enthusiastic customers with documented ROI and they are willing to serve as references. According to Gartner and other analysts, we are already the market leader at universities and named the top vendor globally.

After a quiet period with campuses and offices being closed, we are now seeing a spike in interest in planning for a return to office and campus. The pipeline of serious inquiries from potential customers, as well as new product integrations with strategic partners, means that now is an excellent opportunity for the right type of entrepreneurial salesperson to join our team. You get the opportunity to work with an A-team and a product that impresses customers and that gets even purchasing managers enthusiastic within a rapidly growing market.
