Business Development Intern

Role Overview

At CarbonCraft, we are looking for a highly driven Business Development Intern to assist our team in expanding our market presence. Since our primary customers are architects and designers, we believe the most effective sales conversations happen when the team understands design intent, materials, sustainability, and the language of the built environment.

You could be an architect, an engineer, or even an aspiring entrepreneur who would like to explore sales. While an architectural background is preferred, we prioritize capability over credentials. If you come from a different background but can prove your ability to hold your ground in design-led conversations, qualify leads, and build relationships with leading architectural studios, this role is for you. This position offers hands-on experience at the frontlines of sales, client engagement, and market expansion.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist the sales team in identifying potential clients, generating leads, and maintaining comprehensive data sheets.
• Actively engage and follow up with architects, designers, developers, and contractors through emails, calls, and meetings.
• Support the team in understanding client requirements, preparing proposals/quotations, and conducting impactful product demos.
• Ensure meticulous tracking of leads, sales cycles, and follow-ups using our CRM database.
• Conduct market analysis to understand trends and assist in identifying new segments, regions, and strategic alliances.
• Participate in client meetings, trade fairs, and exhibitions to represent CarbonCraft alongside the team.

Qualifications & Skills

• Strong communication and presentation skills, with a natural ability to influence decision-making and handle clients confidently.
• Demonstrated interest or exposure to lead generation, sales, and start up environments.
• Ability to speak the "language of design" and understand architectural needs (proven experience or a fast learner).
• Entrepreneurial mindset with analytical thinking, excellent organization, and attention to detail.

What you’ll Gain

• A rare opportunity to build a sales career rooted in design knowledge and sustainability.
• First-hand exposure to scaling a climate-positive brand and driving end-to-end sales cycles.
• Direct mentorship from founders across strategy, business development, and product sales.
