At PaxNatura Limited, we are practically creative. And we have a practical and creative path to working in the exciting and vibrant wine and spirits industry. As a provider of sustainable packaging solutions, we are uniquely positioned with our current clientele and innovation project partners. Our work demands an extensive understanding of the beverage business, in particular, distribution channels such as retail, licensee and online direct-to-consumer. We work in collaboration with the people who own, operate and manage them.
Fueled by passion and entrepreneurial spirit, we want every one of our people to bring new ideas to solve challenging problems – in short, to be entrepreneurial themselves. By providing unique solutions to our customers, you will begin to build your own personal relationships with people that can open doors to more opportunities in the future. Whether you’re into sketching new ideas, growing client relationships, or building a digital marketing platform, there’s something here for you.
Your Role
As a WinePax Summer Intern at PaxNatura, you will have a unique opportunity to create your own role. We are also looking for the right candidates for permanent full-time employment, and a successful internship is the ideal way for you to show us your unique skills and talents.

As a young and dynamic business, and one committed to our flexible business model, we have several opportunities for candidates to flourish in. In fact, we are looking for candidates with the initiative and entrepreneurial drive to help customize your position within the company.
