Business Development Internship (US Market) - English native speaker

Anthropos is seeking a Business Development Intern focused on the United States market. The company offers Anthropos Workforce, an enterprise‑grade AI platform that helps large organisations map, verify and upskill their workforce at scale. Its skill taxonomy covers 60,000 abilities and uses AI‑driven simulations to assess employees in realistic scenarios. Current customers include Together AI, Italgas and the Italian national railway group, FS Group, and the firm is now expanding its US presence. The intern will spend most of the day reaching out to potential clients on the US East Coast, using cold calls, email and tailored messages, both together with the existing Business Development Representatives and independently. You will also observe the sales team during outbound activities to learn how to position the solution, later practising product demos and explaining the return on investment to prospects. Collaboration with colleagues across sales, marketing and operations rounds out the daily workload. Key requirements centre on soft skills and location. The role demands a native English speaker, ideally a US citizen, who is hard‑working, positive, curious and enjoys building relationships. The internship is on‑site at Anthropos' office in Chiasso, Ticino, with a relocation budget available if needed, and lasts six months with the possibility of converting to a permanent position. Success in the role is measured largely by interpersonal abilities rather than technical expertise. You will join a small, experienced team of two BDRs in the Swiss office, targeting US prospects while occasionally supporting UK and other EMEA markets. The position offers a base salary plus performance‑linked bonus, and the first step in the hiring process is an AI‑Simulation assessment that provides immediate feedback. Working in a tight‑knit, enterprise‑software environment offers strong growth potential for a motivated intern.
