Sales Strategy & Development Intern

About TensorWave

Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.

About the role

We are hiring an intern to join our Growth team and get direct exposure to enterprise technology sales. This role combines outbound sales execution with account research and pipeline analytics, giving you a working understanding of how deals are sourced, qualified, and advanced at a company selling infrastructure.

You will work alongside our Account Executives, learning the sales process by doing it: researching target accounts, writing outbound messaging, analyzing outreach performance, and supporting live pipeline. By the end of the summer, you will have experience running your own outbound sequences against real accounts and contributing to pipeline generation.

You will have clear exposure into how large-scale infrastructure deals begin which is the most difficult and valuable part of the process.

No prior sales experience is required. This role is designed for anyone exploring a career in sales development, account management, business development, or revenue strategy.
