POSTED ON 10/22/2026

Overview 

AvePoint’s North America Commercial teams are seeking motivated college students for our summer internship program. Interns will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced sales professionals and cross-functional partners in sales, marketing, and operations, gaining hands-on exposure to how a modern go-to-market organization drives pipeline, supports deal execution, and scales repeatable processes. 

This internship is designed to create mutual value: you’ll build a strong understanding of our organization and sales motions while applying your strengths to meaningful, sales-focused projects. We’re looking for candidates who are innovative, hardworking, analytically curious, and knowledgeable in AI. Candidates must be comfortable learning quickly, communicating clearly, and contributing with a “roll up your sleeves” mindset. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Assist with sales vertical analysis and segment research (Commercial) 
  • Identify and summarize deal trends (win/loss patterns, cycle time, competitive themes, common blockers) 
  • Support sales reps in building customer-ready presentations and internal deal materials 
  • Participate in parts of the sales cycle (discovery support, account research, meeting prep, follow-up notes, basic CRM hygiene) 
  • Learn and document regional sales strategies and how they translate into execution 
  • Contribute to scalable sales processes (playbooks, templates, enablement assets, reporting inputs) 
  • Support business development initiatives (territory/account mapping, prospect research, partner/account lists) 
  • Partner with veteran sales representatives and cross-functional teams to deliver project outcomes 

 

What your day-to-day will look like: 

  • Using AI and research tools to create short, high-quality account/industry briefs 
  • Building slides in PowerPoint for internal reviews and customer-facing conversations 
  • Analyzing pipeline/deal data and turning it into clear “what we’re seeing” insights 
  • Shadowing calls and internal deal reviews; capturing notes and synthesizing takeaways 
  • Collaborating with sales ops/marketing to improve repeatability and “how we sell” assets 
  • Presenting your work back to the team in structured weekly check-ins or project readouts 

 

Qualifications 

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s (or Master’s) degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, Analytics, Information Systems, or related field 
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable synthesizing information into crisp takeaways 
  • Strong analytical skills (can interpret trends, summarize insights, and propose next steps) 
  • Comfortable with Microsoft Office (especially PowerPoint and Excel) 
  • Interest in sales, go-to-market strategy, business development, and/or revenue operations 
  • Familiarity with AI tools and curiosity about how AI can improve productivity and insights 
  • Organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple workstreams with guidance
