Business Development Intern

About Prometheus Group

Prometheus Group is a team of self-starters that get results by being resourceful, accountable, and inquisitive. Our drive and dedication to creating great products for our global customers are at the heart of all we do! In joining Prometheus, you will become a part of the largest global provider of comprehensive enterprise asset management (EAM) software solutions that support the management life cycle for equipment maintenance and operations.

About the Role

As a Business Development Intern, you'll work alongside our Business Development team to learn how enterprise deals get built from the ground up — starting with the first cold outreach and ending with a qualified opportunity in an Account Executive's hands. You'll start by observing how Business Development Representatives research accounts, craft outbound messaging, and run qualifying conversations, then move into hands-on prospecting work of your own, with a mentor reviewing your work along the way. To be direct about it: this internship is a real trial for a full-time offer, not a formality — we're genuinely evaluating fit, and you should be too.

What You'll Do

• Build foundational knowledge of Prometheus's products and the enterprise buyers we sell to — the same foundation full-time Business Development Representatives start with.
• Shadow how Business Development Representatives research target accounts and identify key decision-makers across industries like energy, utilities, and manufacturing.
• Execute guided outbound outreach across phone, email, and LinkedIn, with a mentor reviewing your work along the way.
• Shadow and learn how qualified opportunities get handed off to Account Executives for discovery.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone driven and self-started — someone who sees a task, finishes it, and then asks “what else can I take on?” instead of waiting to be told. The best interns in this program don't just complete what's assigned; they notice a gap, a better way to reach a prospect, or a question nobody's asked yet, and they go after it.

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program — any major welcome.
• A genuine drive to understand how enterprise sales works, not just follow a script.
• Comfortable picking up the phone and asking questions early and often.
• A self-starter mentality: if you finish your assigned work early, you look for the next useful thing rather than waiting around.
• Highly competitive and motivated by goals and performance.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Have a minimum GPA of 3.0 (or equivalent) in your academic program.
• You are excited to work onsite in our Raleigh HQ.

Program Structure

• Semester (part-time): 12–20 hrs/week alongside classes, Fall or Spring, running 3–5 months
• Summer (full-time): 30–40 hrs/week, an 8–10 week structured program with a defined start and end date

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience and practical knowledge prospecting into real enterprise accounts.
• Direct mentorship and guidance from seasoned sales professionals.
• Opportunities for professional development and growth.
• Networking opportunities with industry professionals.
• Exposure to how an enterprise sales organization actually runs, from first outreach to closed deal.
• A clear, documented path toward a full-time Business Development Representative offer, if it's a strong mutual fit.
