• Are you looking to kickstart your corporate career with an elite Sales and Marketing specialist opportunity? We are seeking a high-energy, disciplined individual to join our team. This role is ideal for recent graduates who possess a competitive sports background and want to channel that drive into a lucrative corporate career. This isn't just about making calls; it's about learning the fundamentals of marketing and client relationships with the precision of a professional athlete. If you are ready to learn high-level account management from the ground up, this is the perfect entry point.
• As a Sales and Marketing Intern, you won't just be doing busywork. You will get hands-on experience blending data-driven marketing strategies with aggressive account management techniques. We look for individuals with a history of competitive sports because the grit, timing, and resilience learned on the field translate directly to winning on the sales floor.

Responsibilities

• Portfolio Management: Support senior reps in managing a high-volume book of accounts while mastering the core principles of corporate account management.
• Strategic Growth: Learn how to identify client pain points and align them with our strategic marketing initiatives to drive revenue.
• Daily Drills: Participate in daily sales scrums, role-play scenarios, and strategy sessions to sharpen your pitching and negotiation skills.
