Sales Development Intern

Location: Remote / San Francisco, CA
Work model: Remote-first
Employment: Internship

About the role

CaelumenAI is building PERCO, agent-native infrastructure for teams that need AI systems to operate with control, evidence, and clear human ownership. In this internship, you will support founder-led sales from first research through qualified next steps. You will learn the product, investigate accounts, write relevant outreach, prepare customer conversations, and keep the pipeline dependable. We care about thoughtful, specific communication—not volume spam. AI agents can accelerate the work, but you will check the facts and own every message.

Responsibilities

• Research target accounts, technical context, likely pain points, and relevant buying signals
• Write concise, personalized outreach grounded in the account's real environment and priorities
• Support inbound qualification, meeting preparation, demo follow-up, and next-step coordination
• Keep CRM records, notes, stages, and follow-up dates complete and current
• Use AI agents for account research and drafting while checking facts and owning every message
• Share objections, patterns, and customer language with product and GTM teammates

Requirements

• Student, recent graduate, or early-career candidate with strong communication and follow-through
• Excellent written English and comfort starting professional conversations
• Curiosity about technical products and ability to learn enough to ask useful questions
• Organized working style with careful notes, timely follow-up, and respect for customer context
• Evidence of initiative from work, school, community, sales, recruiting, or a self-directed project

Evidence over pedigree: Show us something you scoped, built, tested, and debugged—and tell us what the evidence changed.

Nice to have

• Exposure to B2B SaaS, developer tools, infrastructure, cloud, or AI products
• Experience with CRM, prospect research, customer support, events, or outbound communication
• Familiarity with LinkedIn, email campaigns, analytics, or sales-enablement tools

Benefits

• Paid internship with direct sales and founder mentorship
• Real experience across research, outreach, qualification, demos, and pipeline operations
• Flexible remote collaboration with an option to work from San Francisco
• A clear path to demonstrate ownership through measurable customer and pipeline outcomes
