WHAT IS BOX?

Box (NYSE:BOX) is the leader in Intelligent Content Management. Our platform enables organizations to fuel collaboration, manage the entire content lifecycle, secure critical content, and transform business workflows with enterprise AI. We help companies thrive in the new AI-first era of business. Founded in 2005, Box simplifies work for leading global organizations, including JLL, Morgan Stanley, and Nationwide. Box is headquartered in Redwood City, CA, with offices across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

By joining Box, you will have the unique opportunity to continue driving our platform forward. Content powers how we work. It’s the billions of files and information flowing across teams, departments, and key business processes every single day: contracts, invoices, employee records, financials, product specs, marketing assets, and more. Our mission is to bring intelligence to the world of content management and empower our customers to completely transform workflows across their organizations. With the combination of AI and enterprise content, the opportunity has never been greater to transform how the world works together and at Box you will be on the front lines of this massive shift.

WHY BOX NEEDS YOU

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR) Placement Student, you are on the frontline of Box's growth engine across EMEA. The SDR role is the launchpad for a career in technology sales and commercial strategy, serving as the very first touchpoint between Box and prospective enterprise clients—ranging from major global financial institutions and public sector organizations to fast-growing AI startups.

Working as an integral part of our collaborative London team, you will bridge the gap between Marketing and Sales by identifying high-value business opportunities, researching key accounts, and partnering closely with senior Account Executives. Throughout your 12-month placement, you won't just observe; you will actively build relationships with executive decision-makers, lead strategic outreach campaigns, and directly impact our revenue pipeline while gaining hands-on insight into how a high-growth cloud SaaS enterprise operates.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Generate & Qualify Pipeline: Research, contact, and qualify potential enterprise accounts from inbound marketing leads, event attendees, digital campaigns, and outbound prospecting.

•
Partner with Sales Leaders: Collaborate directly with Account Executives to strategize territory plans, map target accounts, and schedule discovery meetings with senior B2B decision-makers.

•
Lead Strategic Outreach Campaigns: Partner with the EMEA Marketing team to execute multi-channel campaigns around key product launches, AI solutions, and market awareness initiatives.

•
Articulate Business Value: Engage in consultative business conversations via phone, email, zoom call, and social channels to understand client pain points and showcase how Box transforms content management.

•
Manage Commercial Data: Maintain accurate CRM records, track prospect interactions, and manage lead pipelines using Salesforce.com.

•
Drive Cross-Functional Projects: Participate in impactful team initiatives across the wider Go-To-Market and Early Career communities, contributing to process improvements and knowledge sharing.

WHO YOU ARE

We are an AI-first company. This means you approach your work with a growth mindset and find ways to leverage AI to help make faster, smarter decisions that will 10X your impact at Box.

•
Education & Placement Requirement: Currently enrolled in an undergraduate degree requiring a recognized 12-month industrial sandwich placement year before your final year of study (open to all academic disciplines; Business, Management, or Marketing is a plus, but not required).

•
Growth Mindset & Curiosity: Demonstrates resilience, high energy, a proactive "can-do" attitude, and an eager appetite to learn about enterprise SaaS, cloud software, and AI technologies.

•
Strong Communication & Interpersonal Presence: Articulate verbal and written communication skills with the confidence to build professional relationships with senior stakeholders across multiple channels.

•
Commercial Acumen & Problem Solving: Analytical mindset with the ability to identify business trends, creatively uncover growth opportunities, and connect customer challenges to digital solutions.

•
Organization & Detail Orientation: Strong time management skills, comfort prioritizing tasks in a fast-paced environment, and the ability to maintain high data quality and accuracy.

• Languages: Fluent German or French is an advantage but not required

Box lives its values, with community and in-person collaboration being a core part of our culture. Boxers are expected to work from their assigned office a minimum of 3 days per week. Your Recruiter will share more about how we work and company culture during the hiring process.
