This is a hands-on sales internship.

  • Track all prospect interactions and pipeline activity accurately in CRM tools

Reporting & Handoff

  • Report on outreach activity, pipeline progress, and key learnings to senior leadership on a regular basis

  • Deliver a concise market and pipeline summary at the close of the internship, including recommendations for continued LATAM outreach

Key Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in an MBA programme with an expected graduation of 2025 or 2026

  • Native or near-native Spanish required; Portuguese proficiency strongly preferred

  • Demonstrated interest or experience in sales, business development, or commercial roles

  • Familiarity with the LATAM employer benefits, group insurance, or corporate wellness landscape

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills in Spanish and English (and Portuguese where applicable)

  • Self-starter who can manage their own pipeline and workload in a remote-first environment
