About Foreignerds
Foreignerds 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.
This 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.
Role Overview
The 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.
We're particularly interested in candidates who are AI-first — already using tools like Chat GPT, Claude/Cowork to research, create, automate and improve their own workflows.
Key Responsibilities
1. AI-Enabled Business Development
• Research target companies, industries, markets and decision-makers; build and maintain prospect lists against defined ICPs.
• Use AI tools to accelerate research, prospect identification and account intelligence.
• Research prospects before outreach — identify triggers such as funding, product launches, hiring activity, digital transformation or expansion into new markets.
2. Precision Email Outreach
• Draft short, relevant, commercially meaningful cold emails — no generic or overly promotional messaging.
• Understand the recipient's role and business context before reaching out; test and improve messaging based on response rates.
• Maintain outreach trackers and follow-up schedules; support leadership with personalized campaigns.
• Strong written English is critical — able to communicate a proposition in a few precise sentences, not lengthy generic paragraphs.
3. Sales & GTM Support
• Support ICP identification, market segmentation, account research, persona mapping, lead generation and outbound campaigns.
• Manage sales funnel: lead qualification, follow-ups, pipeline tracking and campaign performance analysis.
4. Sales Technology & Tools
• Hands-on familiarity with, or ability to quickly learn: Apollo, Hub Spot, , Loom, Chat GPT, Claude/Cowork, Linked In Sales Navigator, and CRM/outreach platforms.
• Loom knowledge is particularly valuable — candidate may create short personalized videos for prospects, internal stakeholders or client communication.
5. Client & Account Coordination
• Coordinate with clients and internal teams; track project/action items and follow up on pending deliverables.
• Prepare meeting notes, action trackers and client-facing communication; support account managers with research and reporting.
6. IT Services Understanding
• No development background required, but should be comfortable with terms like software/web/mobile development, cloud, AI/ML, Saa S, staff augmentation and dedicated teams — enough to understand a client's broad requirement.

• Experience creating Loom videos; basic understanding of website/software development.
• Experience using AI to automate business workflows; exposure to account management or client servicing.
What We're Looking For

• Curious, sharp and precise — communicates a business problem clearly, without fluff.
• Commercially minded and proactive — focused on conversations, opportunities and revenue; doesn't wait to be told the next step.
• Detail-oriented and accountable — owns outcomes, not just tasks.
