Business Development Intern (AI native)
Most BD internships teach you to send 100 identical emails a day. This one does not.
At Demodesk, business development is AI-augmented from day one. You will research accounts with AI, personalize outreach with AI, and get coached by AI after every prospect call, because you will be using the product we sell. Your job is the judgment: picking the right accounts, crafting the right message, having sharp conversations with sales leaders at some of Europe's most interesting companies.You will work directly with our sales team and founders, own a piece of our outbound pipeline, and learn what modern, AI-native selling actually looks like. If you want a career in tech sales, there is no faster way to learn it than doing it at the company building the tools.
- Run the project management and admin for our partner program: track partner activity and pipeline, prep onboarding materials, keep partner data and attribution clean in HubSpot
- Own logistics and follow-through for events we speak at or host: attendee research and prioritization, meeting prep, on-site coordination, post-event follow-up
- Continuously scout new business opportunities for Demodesk: potential partners, events, market signals, and bring the CRO/CMO a recommendation, not just a list
- Once an opportunity is validated, lead it: you drive the project to a result instead of handing it back
- Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, or similar) as your default way of working: for research, drafting, and data cleanup; so you spend your time on judgment, not busywork
