Business Development Intern

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Keep the CRM accurate and current. Log activity, clean records, chase down missing fields. Pipeline you can't see isn't a executable pipeline.
• Investigate target accounts and build the call lists. We already know this industry and mostly know who we're talking to — your job is to have the volumes, the site details, and the history in hand before the meeting,…
• Automate the boring parts. Build AI and automation workflows that take repetitive sales and marketing work off the team — lead enrichment, sequence drafting, follow-up triggers, report generation.
• Draft and send outbound sequences, and route inbound leads so nothing sits unanswered.
• Help assemble proposals, quotes, and customer-facing performance reports.
• Pull performance data from deployed systems and turn it into something a customer can read in two minutes.
• Take notes in customer calls, write up next steps, and make sure they happen.
• Support trade show and event logistics — registration, shipping, booth materials, set up, staffing, post-show follow-up.

Job requirements

• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a bachelor's or master's program. Business, supply chain, marketing, engineering, and communications backgrounds all work here.
• Based in Austin and able to work on-site. This is not a remote internship.
• Strong written communication. A customer email or a performance report is a piece of writing, and it either builds confidence or erodes it.
• Highly organized, and the kind of person who follows up without being told to. Much of this job is remembering the thing nobody else remembered.
• Comfortable being useful before you're an expert. You will be asked to figure things out with incomplete instructions. Contoro is a fast growing startup whose work environment is very dynamic.
• Valid driver's license and willingness to travel to customer sites, including occasional overnight trips and visits outside normal business hours.
