Job description

Intern, Sales Strategy & Operations (Summer 2027)

About the Team:

Sales Strategy & Operations sits within Chamberlain Group's Revenue organization and is the engine behind how we go to market. The team owns go-to-market strategy and planning, sales and partner enablement, channel operations, sales analytics and partner-enabled services. We are the group that decides where the Sales organization invests, builds the reporting that shows whether it worked and sharpens how the field sells the complete solution to dealers, distributors and retail partners.

About the Role:

As a Sales Strategy & Operations Intern, you will own a real project with a real deliverable and present it to Revenue leadership at the end of the summer. You will be placed in one of four teams based on your background and interests, and you will get exposure to all four through the intern cohort:

• GTM Strategy - sizing growth opportunities, building the fact base behind business cases and shaping how we prioritize investment across channels
• Sales Analytics - building reporting and dashboards on revenue, margin, sell-through and accessory attachment, and turning messy data into a clear recommendation
• Customer Care - analyzing service and support data to find the friction in the partner experience and recommending process improvements
• Revenue Execution and Forecasting - supporting the forecast process, pipeline and quote reporting and the operating cadence that keeps Sales on plan

You will work alongside analysts, managers and directors who own these outcomes day to day. You will learn how a $2B+ business plans, measures and adjusts, and you will leave with a portfolio project you can talk about in any interview.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Build and improve reporting and dashboards that showcase sales KPIs and data trends, highlighting opportunities and risks to the business
• Pull and analyze data from multiple sources including SAP, Salesforce.com and Power BI to answer specific business questions
• Support go-to-market strategy and planning by researching market and share trends and helping size growth opportunities
• Document and improve a recurring process, then hand off a usable guide the team keeps after the summer
• Translate your analysis into a clear recommendation and present it to Sales and Revenue leaders
• Attend and participate in internal and external meetings, including business reviews and partner calls
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across Sales, Marketing, Finance, Product and Customer Care
• Assist team members with various projects as needed
• Follow all health and safety guidelines and company policies

What You'll Learn:

• How a go-to-market strategy is built, funded and measured in a two-step distribution and dealer channel
• How to structure an ambiguous business question into an analysis a leader can act on
• Hands‑on experience with Power BI, Salesforce.com, SAP and advanced Excel
• How Sales, Finance and Operations connect through the forecast, the P&L and the operating cadence
• How to communicate simply to a senior audience and defend a recommendation

Minimum Qualifications:

• Rising senior currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in a quantitative or business field (Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Business Analytics, Marketing, Engineering or a related field) at an accredited college or university, with an expected graduation date between December 2027 and June 2028
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint
• Comfort working with numbers and attention to statistical accuracy
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to simplify difficult concepts for a non‑technical audience
• Demonstrated bias to action and the ability to make progress on an unstructured problem with limited direction
• Ability to work onsite at our Oak Brook, IL office (15 miles west of Chicago) at least 3 days per week
• Willingness to travel occasionally within the U.S.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Coursework, internship or project experience in analytics, business intelligence, sales operations, financial analysis or consulting
• Data visualization experience with Power BI, Tableau or SAP Analytics Cloud
• Familiarity with SQL, Python or other tools for working with large data sets
• Familiarity with CRM tools (Salesforce.com preferred)
• Interest in two-step distribution, dealer or retail channels, consumer durable goods or IoT-connected products
• Solid analytical and problem-solving abilities

The hourly rate for this position is $21 - $25; base pay offered may vary depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the position offered, location, education, training, and/or experience.
