Level Up Sales and Engineering Internship Program
By joining Iron Bow's internship, you'll be part of a 10-week summer program specifically designed to provide you with education, experience, and exposure to our sales and engineering organizations. We're looking for university students who have an interest in pursuing a career in sales, bring positive energy, are passionate about technology and innovation, and are committed to winning. As a summer intern, you will either work with account managers and the marketing team to build a pipeline from lead generation campaigns and support specific program opportunities or work directly with our lead engineering teams to understand Iron Bow's technical capabilities, tackle mission-critical challenges, and deliver impactful business outcomes for our customers.

As a Sales Development Representative (SDR), you will be immersed in an interactive sales training program that will allow you to learn about the latest technology advancements and how to effectively sell them to customers. A successful SDR will be trained to discover, build, and drive new opportunities with our customers and collaborate with the broader Iron Bow team to support our customers’ journey and business outcomes.
Learn from Iron Bow leaders, sales experts, and engineers in a dynamic, community environment. As you progress through the training, shadowing, and project-based experiences, you will move into a role that supports the pipeline growth of Iron Bow’s product, services, and support offerings to existing and prospective customers and partners via inbound activities and communications.
