Support the Channel team by transforming existing AI-focused sales enablement content into a structured, digestible, and trackable format to drive adoption and impact. Collaborate cross-functionally to package playbooks, messaging, and assets for channel use, ensuring alignment and measurable engagement. Additionally, help champion tools initiatives and, depending on progress, support integration efforts within Partner GPT to strengthen partner visibility and collaboration.

We are seeking a curious, analytically minded intern-ideally with a liberal arts background-who is excited to explore the intersection of AI, sales, and partnerships. This role is well-suited for someone interested in pursuing a career in sales and comfortable working in a broadly defined, outcome-oriented environment.

The intern will leverage existing AI-focused sales content and collaborate with Marketing and Sales to package it into digestible, trackable formats that drive field adoption. A key part of the role includes hands-on prompt development and experimentation with tools like ChatGPT and Copilot to enhance messaging, enablement, and workflow efficiency.

The ideal candidate enjoys identifying patterns across information, synthesizing themes, and translating insights into clear narratives-skills often sharpened in liberal arts disciplines. Depending on progress with Crossbeam, the intern may also help champion Crossbeam initiatives and support integration efforts within Partner GPT.

This is a high-ownership opportunity for someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys pattern recognition, and wants exposure to modern AI-driven sales strategy.
