Curiosity and a constant quest for knowledge serve as the foundation to success in IBM Consulting. In your role, you’ll be encouraged to challenge the norm, investigate ideas outside of your role, and come up with creative solutions resulting in groundbreaking impact for a wide network of clients. Our culture of evolution and empathy centers on long‑term career growth and development opportunities in an environment that embraces your unique skills and experience.

We’re looking for a curious, motivated, and people‑oriented intern to join IBM’s Salesforce practice, supporting our Go‑To‑Market (GTM) team. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands‑on experience in sales, marketing, and technology consulting — with the potential to explore a long‑term career in Salesforce and digital transformation. As an intern, you’ll work closely with the GTM team to support campaigns, events, and client initiatives, while also learning how IBM helps organizations leverage Salesforce to transform the way they connect with their customers, employees, citizens and partners.

• Collaborate with team members across sales, marketing, and consulting to understand how we bring Salesforce solutions to life for clients
• Learn how Salesforce technology helps people and organizations work smarter, and explore opportunities to build future skills in this space

What We’re Looking For

• Curiosity & Inquisitiveness — you ask great questions and are eager to learn across different roles and industries
• Organizational skills — able to manage multiple tasks and keep projects moving forward
• Passion for people — you care about relationships, teamwork, and helping clients succeed
• Interest in technology — especially how platforms like Salesforce can empower organizations
• Strong communication skills — comfortable collaborating, presenting, and sharing ideas
• Growth mindset — adaptable, open to feedback, and excited to explore a career path in Salesforce, marketing, or consulting

Why This Role

This is more than an internship. You’ll gain exposure to sales, marketing, and technology consulting, while working with leaders and peers who are invested in your growth. If you’re passionate about people, curious about how technology can transform industries, and eager to explore a career in Salesforce, this is the perfect place to start.

This position is open to applicants who reside in Toronto and is open to applicants seeking a 4‑month internship work term, commencing in Jan 2026.
