WHO WE ARE

Since 1997, Softeq has helped startups and global enterprises turn bold ideas into smart, connected products, from AI/ML and computer vision to wearables, industrial automation, and robotics. We specialize in new product development and R&D, tackling the toughest problems in tech and delivering it all under one roof on a global scale.

Everything we do is guided by five core values (TECCI): Trust, Empathy, Collaboration, Commitment, and Innovation.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

You'll work side by side with experienced sales professionals, see the full B2B sales cycle up close, and get exposure to our partner ecosystem, including AWS.

●      Hunt for opportunities. Research target accounts, industries, and market trends, and pinpoint the decision-makers who matter using LinkedIn, CRM data, and other sales tools.

●      Start conversations. Build prospect lists and targeted campaigns, and support outreach through email, LinkedIn, and other channels.

●      Prep the team to win. Research prospects ahead of sales meetings and help create presentations, meeting materials, and sales collateral.

●      Keep the pipeline moving. Track leads, opportunities, and follow-ups, and keep our CRM accurate and up to date.

●      Get in the room. Help prepare for conferences, networking events, and business development initiatives alongside our Sales, Marketing, and Partner teams.

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

●      A real-world understanding of how B2B technology sales and business development work.

●      Hands-on skills in prospecting, lead generation, and sales outreach.

●      Insight into how a professional sales pipeline is built and managed.

●      Practical experience with the CRM and sales tools used across the industry.

●      Resume-ready experience and professional connections in the tech industry.

YOU'LL THRIVE HERE IF YOU...

●      Are pursuing (or recently earned) a bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Sales, Communications, Technology, or a related field.

●      Get genuinely excited about sales, business development, technology, or professional services.

●      Love digging into companies, industries, and new tech.

●      Communicate clearly in writing and in person, and enjoy meeting new people.

●      Stay organized, sweat the details, and follow through when juggling multiple tasks.

●      Take initiative, learn fast, and work well both on your own and with a team.

BONUS POINTS

●      A previous internship, academic project, or job in sales, marketing, customer service, or business development.

●      Experience using LinkedIn for research or networking.

●      Familiarity with CRM tools such as HubSpot.

●      Interest in cloud, AWS, software development, AI/ML, IoT, or other emerging tech.

●      Involvement in student organizations, business clubs, or networking events.

●      A basic understanding of B2B sales or lead generation.
