BDR Intern

lemlist is the AI-powered sales engagement platform helping sales teams build pipeline smarter, not harder.

Bootstrapped from day one, we’ve grown from 0 to $50M+ ARR in 8 years without raising a single dollar. Today, 40,000+ sales teams use lemlist to book more meetings and close more deals.

We’re building the next generation of outbound: AI-first, multi-channel, highly personalized, and deeply integrated into the way modern sales teams work.

And we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for a highly motivated Business Development Representative Intern to join our Paris team.

This is not a “coffee & shadowing” internship.

You’ll learn how modern SaaS & AI sales really work:

• outbound prospecting

• cold calling

• LinkedIn outreach

• AI-powered prospecting

• sales psychology

• pipeline generation

• multi-channel campaigns

• discovery fundamentals

You’ll work directly with experienced sales leaders and top performing reps in a fast-growing international SaaS environment.

If you’re ambitious, curious, resilient, and hungry to grow, this is probably one of the best learning opportunities you can get in B2B SaaS sales.
