Zusammenfassung

Ascendo AI is seeking a Sales Development Intern to own the front of the pipeline for a vertical slice including medical devices, energy, telecom, and industrial equipment. You will map accounts, determine owners of first-time fix rate, and craft targeted outbound messages referencing real-world contexts.

You will book qualified discovery meetings and collaborate with an Account Executive, while learning from coaching and real customer conversations.

Qualifikationen

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, or graduated within the last 12 months.
• Available for at least a 16 week commitment of at least 40 hours per week.
• Strong written communication in English, with the judgment to write a short, specific email rather than a long, generic one.
• Coursework, internship, or project experience in sales, business development, engineering, or an industrial or clinical setting.
• Curiosity about how physical things break and get fixed—mechanical, electrical, biomedical, or industrial domains.
• Experience with research and outbound tooling such as LinkedIn, CRM systems, or sequencing tools, or clear evidence you pick up new tools quickly.
• Experience organizing structured information at volume, such as building datasets, research databases, or competitive landscapes.
• Comfort being coached in public—sharing call recordings, taking direct feedback, and trying the next version the same day.

Aufgaben

• Research and map target accounts, including install base, service model, systems of record, and the executives accountable for service performance.
• Write and run outbound sequences across email, phone, and LinkedIn, coordinating with your pod so no account hears from us twice.
• Qualify inbound and outbound interest against our ideal customer profile and hand off cleanly to your Account Executive.
• Book and attend discovery meetings, take structured notes, and log everything accurately in CRM.
• Work with the pre-sales intern to pair outreach with a specific, relevant proof asset.
• Bring back what you hear—objections, competitors, language customers actually use—to sales, marketing, and product.
• Present a market thesis capstone to the founding team at the end of the internship.
