Job Summary

This internship is the front door to ProCogia’s growth engine. You will sit inside the marketing team and own the first conversation a prospective client has with us: researching companies that look like a good fit, reaching out with a relevant point of view, and booking qualified meetings for our consulting leaders. You will report directly to the Marketing Director, who will set your priorities, run your weekly one-on-ones, and coach you on messaging, targeting, and pipeline. This is a hands on role, not a shadowing role: you will have your own target list, your own outreach, and your own numbers from week three onward.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain target account and contact lists using LinkedIn Sales Navigator and our CRM.
• Research prospects so outreach is specific rather than generic: industry, data maturity, recent news, likely pain points.
• Run outbound outreach by email, LinkedIn, and phone, following sequences you help write and improve.
• Qualify inbound leads from the website, webinars, and content downloads, and route them quickly.
• Book discovery calls for senior consultants and prepare a short brief before each one.
• Keep the CRM clean: log every activity, update records, flag data quality problems.
• Report weekly on outreach sent, replies, meetings booked, and what you are learning from the market.

Must Have:

• Currently enrolled in or recently completed a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD program in Computer Science, Machine Learning, AI, Data Science, Computational Linguistics, or a related field.
• Pursuing or recently completed a degree or diploma in business, marketing, communications, economics, or a related field, or equivalent capability.
• Strong written communication: you can write a short, clear email a busy executive would actually answer.
• Comfortable picking up the phone and starting a conversation with someone you have never met.
• Curious, self-directed, and organized enough to manage a few hundred accounts without losing track.
• Resilient about rejection. Most outreach gets no reply; the job is to keep quality high anyway.
• Legally authorized to work in Canada for the duration of the internship.

Nice to have:

Prior sales, customer service, or recruiting experience; exposure to a CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce) or sales engagement tool (Outreach, Salesloft, Apollo); genuine interest in data and AI.

Compensation - $23/hour
