Current systems are static and backward-looking; we are creating a dynamic, AI-driven model that uses behavioural data to design pay plans & structures (core to this is our Deterministic AI algorithm with polymorphic functionality). Founded by a seasoned industry professional (with 12+ yrs in HR, Consulting and IT), Anavai’s mission is to unlock top performance by fixing a broken link between productivity, motivation and rewards. About Role: "The Closer" This is not a typical "cold call from a script" internship. You will effectively act as a Founding team member who drives our go-to-market — from finding the right people to talk to, to running the pipeline that turns a conversation into a customer. You will work directly with the founder/founding team to turn a strong product story into real business. What you will actually do Our product is live in Beta today — you'll help turn interest into our first real users. Own the top of our funnel: every lead we generate — demo requests, case study downloads, beta access, and Incentive Calculator sign-ups — flows into one CRM (Bigin), and you will help run it end to end. Run the Pipeline: manage and qualify inbound leads in our CRM, follow up, and keep the pipeline moving from first touch to a booked demo.Find the Right People: research target accounts and the people who actually own this problem — CFOs, CHROs, Sales Leaders, RevOps & Rewards teams — and start the conversation.Tell the Story: translate the technical differentiator (linear vs. sigmoid payout curves) into a business pitch a CFO or Sales leader will actually care about — using our case studies, blog, and the Incentive Calculator as your tools.Support Demos & Conversations: join discovery calls and live demos of our Beta product with prospects to understand real incentive-design pain points first-hand.Market & Competitive Research: build out our ideal customer profile and track how the Incentive Compensation Management space is evolving.Content: help write case studies, blog posts, and sales collateral alongside the founding team. You Are The Right Fit If You Understand Numbers: commission math, ROI, and reading a P&L don't scare you — you don't glaze over at "payout curve."You Can Tell a Story: you can explain a technical idea in plain business language, in writing and out loud.You Are a Hunter: you don't wait for leads to come to you — you'll research an account, find the right person, and start the conversation.You Are Detail-Oriented: a clean CRM and a well-run pipeline matter to you as much as the close.You are a go getter: If you see a better way to solve the problem, you don't hesitate.
