About The Job

Curious about AI? Love talking to people and solving real problems? This internship is for students and early-career hustlers who want to see firsthand how AI is transforming small business finance and get paid on their own results while doing it.

• Close the deal and get the customer signed on.
• Follow up consistently and keep track of where each prospect stands.
• Build genuine relationships that turn into referrals, so your own book of business keeps growing.
