About Foreignerds

Foreignerds is an IT services and technology solutions company helping businesses build, scale, and modernize their digital products and technology capabilities. We're looking for a proactive, tech-savvy, AI-native individual to work closely with leadership and business development across prospect research, outbound communication, sales enablement, client engagement and project coordination.

This is not a conventional internship or entry-level sales role. We need someone comfortable experimenting with AI tools, learning fast, researching prospects independently and communicating with senior stakeholders precisely and professionally. Initial engagement is 3 months on stipend, with conversion to full-time based on performance, ownership and contribution.

Role Overview The candidate will work at the intersection of Business Development, Sales & Marketing, AI-enabled prospecting, Client communication, Lead generation, Account/project coordination and Outreach automation — able to take a broad objective like “find relevant prospects and start meaningful conversations” and independently figure out the research, tools, messaging and execution required.

We're particularly interested in candidates who are AI-first — already using tools like ChatGPT, Claude/Cowork and Lovable to research, create, automate and improve their own workflows.

Key Responsibilities

1. AI-Enabled Business Development

- Research target companies, industries, markets and decision-makers; build and maintain prospect lists against defined ICPs.
- Use AI tools to accelerate research, prospect identification and account intelligence.
- Research prospects before outreach — identify triggers such as funding, product launches, hiring activity, digital transformation or expansion into new markets.

2. Precision Email Outreach

- Draft short, relevant, commercially meaningful cold emails — no generic or overly promotional messaging.




- Understand the recipient's role and business context before reaching out; test and improve messaging based on response rates.
- Maintain outreach trackers and follow-up schedules; support leadership with personalized campaigns.
- Strong written English is critical — able to communicate a proposition in a few precise sentences, not lengthy generic paragraphs.

3. Sales & GTM Support

- Support ICP identification, market segmentation, account research, persona mapping, lead generation and outbound campaigns.
- Manage sales funnel: lead qualification, follow-ups, pipeline tracking and campaign performance analysis.

4. Sales Technology & Tools

- Hands-on familiarity with, or ability to quickly learn: Apollo, HubSpot, Hunter.io, Loom, ChatGPT, Claude/Cowork, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and CRM/outreach platforms.
- Loom knowledge is particularly valuable — candidate may create short personalized videos for prospects, internal stakeholders or client communication.

5. Client & Account Coordination

- Coordinate with clients and internal teams; track project/action items and follow up on pending deliverables.
- Prepare meeting notes, action trackers and client-facing communication; support account managers with research and reporting.

6. IT Services Understanding

- No development background required, but should be comfortable with terms like software/web/mobile development, cloud, AI/ML, SaaS, staff augmentation and dedicated teams — enough to understand a client's broad requirement.
