The Role

As a Sales Intern, you will work closely with our sales team and gain hands-on exposure to real customer engagements throughout the sales cycle. Your support will focus on two core areas: keeping our commercial documents and proposals accurate, and well organized; and supporting customer workshops and meetings to ensure they are executed flawlessly from preparation to follow-up. This role suits someone patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely motivated to learn the foundations of B2B sales from the inside out.

What You’ll Do

• Support with documents: assist in preparing and maintaining sales documents — proposals, presentations, meeting minutes— with high accuracy and consistent formatting

• Customer Workshops & Meeting Execution: Coordinate end-to-end logistics for client workshops and executive meetings—manage attendee schedules, virtual and on-site environments, and presentation collateral to deliver a seamless client experience

• Industry Engagements & Action Tracking: Participate in on-site client sessions to observe real-world customer discussions, capture critical client pain points and meeting minutes, and track post-meeting action items to help keep deal progression moving forward

• Cross-Functional Deal Operations: Collaborate with cross-functional partners (Product, Finance, Legal, Service) on operational tasks and sales process steps, keeping the commercial pipeline structured and efficient

Requirements

• Currently pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree; [Science and Engineering preferred]

• Available to intern at least 3 days per week for 6+ months

• Patient and detail-oriented, with a strong sense of ownership — you take pride in turning rough documents into clear, polished ones, and in flawless meeting logistics

• A people person — you genuinely enjoy interacting with others, communicate clearly and warmly, and are comfortable and professional in client-facing settings

• A strong collaborator — comfortable working across teams and functions (product, marketing, finance, legal, service) to get things done together

• Dependable and responsible — once you take on a task, you own it and see it through to a high standard, on time

• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); experience with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot) is a plus

• Good written and spoken English; Chinese and English as working languages

• A genuine interest in sales or business development as a long-term career
