Descrizione del lavoro

95% of teams implementing AI in real business settings are failing because of bad data. Hiop helps dev teams with limited expertise to easily ship reliable data in chaotic business environments.

With Hiop, you can annotate business logic to organize your data, and we turn it into a serverless and adaptive data infrastructure, directly, through our novel and proprietary architecture inspired by physical logistics. Like this, we are able to dramatically cut the number of tools, maintenance and effort required by teams that are delivering data to AI-powered systems, business analytics or data-intensive workflows.

If you’ve used a product or service powered by AI, chances are it was built by a team using Hiop behind the scenes. 😊

The Role

We are looking for a Sales Intern who will support our commercial team in all sales back-office activities, while gradually learning how to manage customer interactions and sales cycles. This role is designed for someone who is curious about sales, eager to learn in a fast-moving startup environment, and ready to build the foundation for a future career in B2B software sales.

Language

Our internal docs and collaboration happen in English — strong proficiency is required. Since we’re based in Italy, fluency in Italian is a big plus.

• Keep our CRM updated and clean, maintaining pipeline hygiene and data quality
• Help schedule meetings, organize agendas, and follow up with prospects
• Manage inbound requests and route them to the right person on the team
• Research companies and prospects to enrich CRM records
• Tag ICPs and assist with early-stage lead qualification
• Support reporting and tracking of sales metrics

Learning by Shadowing

• Join sales calls with account executives to learn from real conversations
• Observe how we qualify leads, pitch the product, and manage the sales process

What are the essential requirements and skills?

• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Proactive mindset and ability to take ownership of small tasks
• Friendly, trustworthy, and team-oriented attitude
• Curiosity about sales and working with customers
• Fluent in both Italian and English

Experience we’re looking for

• Currently enrolled or recently graduated in Business, Economics, Marketing, or related fields
• Previous experience (even through university projects, internships, or part-time jobs) in sales or customer-facing roles is a plus
