CLEAR Global is an equal-opportunity employer, committed to having a diverse team where individuals of all backgrounds collaborate and learn from one another. We believe we can be most effective with diverse experience and expertise in our team. We recruit on merit, actively seek diverse applicant pools and encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply.

Background

CLEAR Global is a US non-profit organization supporting people to get information and be heard, whatever language they speak.

We seek to build real partnerships with organizations that understand the importance of good communication in the right language and format. Our partnership program has been developed to provide NGOs and UN agencies with access to the TWB Platform and the TWB Community of over 100,000 linguists via a comprehensive range of language services.

CLEAR Global’s Language services team oversees the management of the Partnership Program and includes the partnership sales team, the partner success coordinator, the community team, the services and support team, and the operations team.

The majority of partner organizations sign a 12 month partnership agreement that provides access to the services. The level of service and the cost is tied to the level of internal effort required to manage the partnership.

Increasingly we also provide professional services for standalone projects, or as part of a partnership agreement.

CLEAR Global is offering a six-month internship to work as part of this small and dynamic team in the areas of administration, research, outreach, and sales. The candidate will gain valuable experience in a thriving international non-profit organization, learning about everything from not-for-profit humanitarian and development sectors, to business development and income tracking techniques.

Role

The Partnership Development Intern will support the Partnership Sales team to carry out tasks related to CLEAR Global’s partnership sales and customer success programs. The role also includes supporting the officers with day-to-day administrative tasks. A big part of the role will entail using CRM (constituent relationship management) database tools, written communications, and web-based research to support CLEAR Global’s partnership goals.
