Sales Intelligence Intern

Who you are

• Currently studying or recently graduated (e.g. Business, IT, Engineering, Economics, or similar)
• Comfortable and confident working in Google Sheets — sorting, filtering, basic formulas, and keeping structured data clean
• Some hands-on exposure to Salesforce or a similar CRM (data entry, navigation, record hygiene)
• Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator or comparable prospecting/research tools
• Strong analytical and organizational skills with genuine attention to detail
• Fluent in English, written and spoken
• A quick learner who is teachable and genuinely curious — you have skills on your sleeve, but you are eager to grow them
• Reliable, highly motivated, and detail-oriented; you take ownership of accuracy
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a close-knit team
• Interested in the digital quality, UX research, and software testing space, and how data drives B2B sales
• Curiosity about (or some exposure to) AI-assisted research tools is a strong plus — we use them daily
• We are not expecting years of experience. We are looking for someone who already has a solid base in the tools above and the mindset to learn the rest quickly

What the job involves

• This is a hands-on, rotational role at the core of how Applause sells. Our Sales Intelligence team runs a structured, multi-stage intelligence pipeline that turns raw market data into qualified, decision-ready insight for sales teams across North America, Europe, Israel, and APAC
• As a generalist intern, you will rotate across every stage of that pipeline — account research and scoring, contact intelligence, solution recommendations, and data quality assurance — building a complete picture of how modern sales intelligence works end to end. You will not be siloed into one task; you will learn the whole engine
• Perform structured research on prospective customers and score them against our internal qualification framework
• Build and maintain accurate account and contact intelligence using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Salesforce, and AI-assisted research tools
• Keep our internal sales intelligence platform and CRM clean, accurate, and well-organized: including account health, hierarchy, and contact hygiene
• Rotate through each stage of the intelligence pipeline, from initial research to the final quality gate, learning the standards and handoffs at every step
• Apply and uphold a high accuracy bar: our pipeline operates against a strict quality standard, and getting it right matters more than getting it fast
• Interpret and analyze sales and customer data to support decision-making and recommend process improvements
• Keep stakeholders accountable through clear, regular follow-ups
• Continuously look for ways to improve internal processes and increase team efficiency
