Intern, Business Outreach

This is a temporary, full-time, in-person role compensated at $2k / month, with potential transition to long-term employment if both the company and the intern do well.

iOrganBio is building the technology and industrial base needed to master human cells management in-vitro, and ultimately realize the promise of cell-based regenerative medicine available to everyone, for every condition.

We are a cutting-edge seed-stage biotechnology company building an AI-agentic deep tech platform to provide an infinite supply of unique functional tissues to enable transformative therapeutic solutions — at population scale. The platform seamlessly integrates software, AI, sequencing, and robotic solutions to listen to cells and adjust key parameters to guide stem cell differentiation. With a lean team of dedicated scientists and engineers, we are seeking an intern to support the Chief Business Officer and Chief Operating Officer in growing our early stage sales funnel and expanding on our partnerships.

The Outreach Intern will support iOB’s growth by focusing on outreach to potential customers and partners in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors. Working closely with the CBO and executive team, the intern will help expand iOB’s network by identifying prospective customers, initiating contact, and assisting in the development of relationships that may lead to commercial opportunities.

Key responsibilities will include researching and profiling potential customers, drafting outreach communications, execute outreach campaigns, prepare answers, coordinating introductory meetings, and helping prepare tailored presentations and materials. The intern will track outreach efforts, follow up with prospects, and support the team in managing early-stage discussions with pharmaceutical and biotech companies.

This role will also involve contributing to market research and competitive intelligence to refine outreach strategies and ensure that customer engagement aligns with iOB’s broader business development objectives.

This is a temporary, hands-on internship designed to provide experience in customer engagement and relationship-building within a high-growth biotechnology startup, that may lead to a full time role. It is an ideal opportunity for someone eager to learn how to generate and nurture customer relationships in a commercial setting.
