Sales Internship

Arlington, Virginia, United States

Overview 

AvePoint’s North America Public Sector team is seeking motivated college students for our summer internship program. Interns will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced sales professionals and cross-functional partners in sales, marketing, and operations, gaining hands-on exposure to how a modern go-to-market organization drives pipeline, supports deal execution, and scales repeatable processes. 

This internship is designed to create mutual value: you’ll build a strong understanding of our organization and sales motions while applying your strengths to meaningful, sales-focused projects. We’re looking for candidates who are innovative, hardworking, analytically curious, and knowledgeable in AI. Candidates must be comfortable learning quickly, communicating clearly, and contributing with a “roll up your sleeves” mindset. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Assist with sales vertical analysis and segment research (Public Sector) 
  • Identify and summarize deal trends (win/loss patterns, cycle time, competitive themes, common blockers) 
  • Support sales reps in building customer-ready presentations and internal deal materials 
  • Participate in parts of the sales cycle (discovery support, account research, meeting prep, follow-up notes, basic CRM hygiene) 
  • Learn and document regional sales strategies and how they translate into execution 
  • Contribute to scalable sales processes (playbooks, templates, enablement assets, reporting inputs) 
  • Support business development initiatives (territory/account mapping, prospect research, partner/account lists) 
  • Partner with veteran sales representatives and cross-functional teams to deliver project outcomes 

 

What your day-to-day will look like: 

  • Using AI and research tools to create short, high-quality account/industry briefs 
  • Building slides in PowerPoint for internal reviews and customer-facing conversations 
  • Analyzing pipeline/deal data and turning it into clear “what we’re seeing” insights 
  • Shadowing calls and internal deal reviews; capturing notes and synthesizing takeaways 
  • Collaborating with sales ops/marketing to improve repeatability and “how we sell” assets 
  • Presenting your work back to the team in structured weekly check-ins or project readouts 

 

Qualifications 

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s (or Master’s) degree in Business, Marketing, Communications, Analytics, Information Systems, or related field 
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable synthesizing information into crisp takeaways 
  • Strong analytical skills (can interpret trends, summarize insights, and propose next steps) 
  • Comfortable with Microsoft Office (especially PowerPoint and Excel) 
  • Interest in sales, go-to-market strategy, business development, and/or revenue operations 
  • Familiarity with AI tools and curiosity about how AI can improve productivity and insights 
  • Organized, proactive, and able to manage multiple workstreams with guidance 

The typical base compensation range for this position is $18 - $20 per hour.

The listed salary range represents a good faith estimate, with final offers based on location, experience, skills, and qualifications.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
