Business Development Intern

**Who are we?**:
WTX was recently founded to disrupt how heavy-duty vehicles trade globally and we believe the current process of buying or selling trucks worldwide is too complicated, nontransparent, and underoptimized. It doesn't need to be this way...

Our mission is to make the whole experience of trading trucks globally seamless, from finding a truck online to more efficiently and reliably being delivered with matching technology.

We are powered by KI group, investors, and partners in the industry with a proven track record of co-founding and running successful and impactful businesses worldwide.

The team is now growing and looking to fill some of the roles needed to tackle different business challenges.

We have a remote-friendly policy, so our team members are able to work from home but also leverage our cool office in Stuttgart (Marienplatz).
