About the internship:

Responsibilities:

• Build lead lists of target companies and decision makers using LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Apollo.

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
