Sales Intern; Praktikum MedTech​/Surgical & Interventional Simulation

Sales Intern (Praktikum) – Med Tech / Surgical & Interventional Simulation

About Surgeons Lab: Surgeons Lab is a global Med Tech company developing high-fidelity physical and virtual surgical and interventional simulation technologies. Our platforms help hospitals, surgeons, universities, simulation centers, and medical-device companies train clinicians, demonstrate products, and develop new devices. We work at the intersection of medicine, engineering, and advanced simulation, serving customers across Europe, the United States, and international markets.

The Opportunity: We are looking for a motivated Sales Intern who wants real experience in technical B2B sales — not administrative work and spreadsheets nobody reads. You will work alongside our commercial team, learn how complex medical technology is sold to hospitals, universities, and Med Tech companies across Europe, and take on genuine responsibility from the start. You will research accounts, build prospect lists, join customer calls and demonstrations, and help move real opportunities forward.

No medical or Med Tech background is required. We will teach you the product, the anatomy, and the clinical context. We need curiosity, a strong work ethic, and the willingness to pick up the phone. This is a paid internship with the potential to lead to a permanent Sales role for the right performer.
