Sales & Business Development Intern

Bytek is the MarTech division of Datrix, a publicly listed ecosystem of B2B software companies, each building AI-powered vertical software for a specific industry. Within the group, Bytek builds a composable data platform that turns the first-party data of brands, retailers, and financial institutions into predictive models for acquisition, retention, and paid media performance. We're opening the US market and strengthening our presence in Europe. We're looking for an intern to join the team that generates the commercial pipeline for the Italian market: finding the right people and getting them in the room with our sales team, primarily through industry events and dinners.

What you'll actually do You'll work alongside the Marketing & Communication Specialist and a Senior Business Development Executive. In the first weeks you observe and learn the method; then you will gradually take ownership of your own pieces of work: Target mapping: build and segment lists of companies (fintech, retail, digital) by industry, role, seniority, company size, and geography, and identify the right decision makers on LinkedIn and prospecting databases. You learn to read a company and judge whether it's a real potential customer. Account research & enrichment: dig into selected accounts and prospects, enriching each profile with what matters - their role, their company, the business context, any hook worth a conversation - so the sales team walks into every conversation prepared. Multichannel outreach: prepare and send invitations and messages across email, LinkedIn, and cold calls, adapting the message to who's on the other end and to what you're inviting them to. You manage confirmations and follow-ups, and you see first-hand which messages land and which don't. Events: support the organization of dinners and networking sessions (sometimes alongside industry conferences) - guest list, logistics, invitations, reminders, confirmations, and follow-up. CRM & tracking: keep contact and activity data clean and traceable, so the team works on reliable information - and help track which segments, channels, and approaches actually generate meetings.

What you'll genuinely learn This is the real value of the role. You get a close-up view of how complex, enterprise software gets sold - long sales cycles, multiple stakeholders, technical products that need to be explained clearly to a business buyer.

How a B2B pipeline works in enterprise software : from first contact to the sales conversation. What it takes to sell a composable data platform

- a product that isn't bought on impulse, but through trust built over time. Direct contact with C-level decision makers

(Growth, Data, Marketing leaders) and how those relationships are opened and nurtured. Real tools and workflows

You'll learn how to use MCP and AI tools to run customer and market intelligence - working with CRM, intelligence platforms, and much more - and you'll see how that translates into real impact by opening high-level conversations.

It's work made of details and consistency. If you want to understand how the commercial side of a tech company is built from the ground up, you'll see it here up close.

Who we're looking for Graduate or soon-to-be graduate in economics, marketing, communications, or a technical field (e.g. engineering) who wants hands-on experience in sales. A real talent. If you come from a junior enterprise network, or you've had small entrepreneurial experiences of your own - maybe you're even thinking about starting your own company one day - even better. Genuinely passionate about technology. You like work where the impact of your actions is visible right away, and you want to be close to where revenue is made. You're comfortable reaching out to people you don't know yet — by email, on LinkedIn, and on the phone — and you enjoy the relationship side of it: listening, building rapport, and turning a first contact into a real conversation. You enjoy dealing with people - listening, building relationships, and getting exposure to a lot of different things. Organized and reliable: if you take on a piece of work, you see it through. You write clearly and can hold your own with more experienced people. Fluent Italian, solid English (we work across international markets).

What we offer Expense reimbursement of €1,000/month. Flexible setup - hybrid or remote. We have great offices in Milan and Viterbo, but the whole company works fully remote. International exposure. You'll work with colleagues across Europe and in the US, on real cross-market commercial activity. Access to the whole Datrix group. Beyond Bytek, you get exposure to an ecosystem of AI software companies — and a close-up view of frontier AI as it's actually built and applied. A concrete path forward. If you do well, there's a real prospect of a full-time offer.

Process Step 1 - Outreach & Qualification Simulation You will interact with AI-driven personas in a short scenario designed to evaluate how you approach cold outreach, spark interest, and identify whether a contact fits our ideal customer profile. (*)

Step 2 - Interview Conversation with leadership to discuss your background, motivation, and how you would contribute to building Bytek’s presence in Italy.

Step 3 - Field Activation Exercise You will prepare a concise plan describing how you would organize your first 60 days, including target selection, list building, outreach approach, and how you would fill monthly dinners or networking initiatives with qualified participants.
