Business Development Intern

Who we are:

Our content library includes over 20,000 courses in 15 languages. Accessibility testing against WCAG 2.1 AA is part of every release.

Overview:

CLS Knowledge is hiring business development interns to find and qualify new leads, run outreach and support the sales team on calls. Fully remote, target-based work. This role is fully remote within Kenya. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

What you'll do:

• Share feedback from prospects with the product and marketing teams.
• Research prospects before calls: company size, current tools, likely pain points.
• Update every interaction in HubSpot or Zoho CRM on the same day.
• Attend the daily sales huddle on Zoom.
• Track daily and weekly targets in a shared sheet.
• Follow up with leads who have gone quiet, using approved email sequences.
• Identify possible partners such as agencies, colleges or resellers and list them with contact details.
• Make cold calls to qualified leads and book product demos for the sales manager.

What we're looking for:

• Based in Kenya for the duration of the internship.
• Available for the full internship period.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Eligible to work in Kenya.
• Good internet connection that can handle video calls.
• Clear spoken and written English. Hindi, Urdu or another local language is a plus for some markets.
• Self-motivated and okay with targets. Some weeks will be slow, and that is normal.
• Able to take rejection without taking it personally.

Preferred:

• Knowledge of a second language for international outreach.
• Familiarity with LinkedIn Sales Navigator or Apollo.
