Jobbeschreibung

Applause is raising the bar for digital quality and employee experience. Recognized as a Top Workplace, Applause provides award-winning software testing and UX research solutions to top brands. Our fully managed services leverage a global team and the world's largest independent testing community. We improve digital experiences for global innovators like Google, Microsoft, PayPal, Starbucks, Vodafone, and BMW.

To support the continued growth of our global sales organization, we are looking for a full-time Sales Intelligence Intern (m/f/x) to join our Sales Analytics & Intelligence team.

About the role:

This is a hands-on, rotational role at the core of how Applause sells. Our Sales Intelligence team runs a structured, multi-stage intelligence pipeline that turns raw market data into qualified, decision-ready insight for sales teams across North America, Europe, Israel, and APAC.

As a generalist intern, you will rotate across every stage of that pipeline — account research and scoring, contact intelligence, solution recommendations, and data quality assurance — building a complete picture of how modern sales intelligence works end to end. You will not be siloed into one task; you will learn the whole engine.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform structured research on prospective customers and score them against our internal qualification framework
• Build and maintain accurate account and contact intelligence using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Salesforce, and AI-assisted research tools
• Keep our internal sales intelligence platform and CRM clean, accurate, and well-organized: including account health, hierarchy, and contact hygiene
• Rotate through each stage of the intelligence pipeline, from initial research to the final quality gate, learning the standards and handoffs at every step
• Apply and uphold a high accuracy bar: our pipeline operates against a strict quality standard, and getting it right matters more than getting it fast
• Interpret and analyze sales and customer data to support decision-making and recommend process improvements
• Keep stakeholders accountable through clear, regular follow-ups
• Continuously look for ways to improve internal processes and increase team efficiency

Job Requirements and Preferred Skills:

Foundations (we expect you to already have these):

• Currently studying or recently graduated (e.g. Business, IT, Engineering, Economics, or similar)
• Comfortable and confident working in Google Sheets — sorting, filtering, basic formulas, and keeping structured data clean
• Some hands-on exposure to Salesforce or a similar CRM (data entry, navigation, record hygiene)
• Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator or comparable prospecting/research tools
• Strong analytical and organizational skills with genuine attention to detail
• Fluent in English, written and spoken

Attributes:

• A quick learner who is teachable and genuinely curious — you have skills on your sleeve, but you are eager to grow them
• Reliable, highly motivated, and detail-oriented; you take ownership of accuracy
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a close-knit team
• Interested in the digital quality, UX research, and software testing space, and how data drives B2B sales
• Curiosity about (or some exposure to) AI-assisted research tools is a strong plus — we use them daily

We are not expecting years of experience. We are looking for someone who already has a solid base in the tools above and the mindset to learn the rest quickly.
