nAbout Foreignerds
nForeignerds 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.
nThis 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.
nRole Overview
nThe 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.
nWe're particularly interested in candidates who are AI-first — already using tools like ChatGPT, Claude/Cowork to research, create, automate and improve their own workflows.

- Understand the recipient's role and business context before reaching out; test and improve messaging based on response rates.

n
n5. Client & Account Coordination
n
n
- Coordinate with clients and internal teams; track project/action items and follow up on pending deliverables.
n
- Prepare meeting notes, action trackers and client-facing communication; support account managers with research and reporting.
n
n6. IT Services Understanding
n• 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.
