Job Description

About the Role

Technology sales at IBM is evolving its way of working to break beyond boundaries with innovative approaches. Preferring to 'show' vs. 'tell', we're looking for recent undergraduate and graduate students who want to combine their technical interests and education with the people skills needed to prospect and co-create with customers, partners, and colleagues on solutions to our clients' most complex business challenges. In a world where technology moves at speed, it's essential that we stay ahead of the curve to provide tailored solutions that meet our clients' needs. It's not enough for us to have the technical expertise, we need to be great with people - to empathize, understand, and collaborate on technical solutions that will improve lives all over the world. This is a summer 2026 position. A Digital Seller intern role within IBM means you will proactively prospect for and develop new business relationships and help clients achieve their goals. You'll become a subject matter expert in a solution that's secure, reliable, scalable, sustainable, and can integrate with hybrid cloud and AI, while collaborating and delivering the engine that sits at the center of a client's digital transformation success. IBM's Sales Internship Program culture will set you up for positive impact and success, whilst ongoing development will continually advance your skills. Our sales environment is collaborative and experiential. Part of a team, you'll be surrounded by bright minds - always willing to help- as you apply passion to work that will compel our clients to invest in IBM's products and services.

Key Responsibilities

  • Apply IBM's sales methodology to identify new clients and opportunities for expansion with existing clients through multiple channels (email, phone, video creation, social media) - this includes a considerable amount of cold calling.
  • Engage in social selling activities to build thought leadership and influence potential clients, including recording video outreach campaigns and social media posts.
  • Stay updated and continually improve your expertise to become a trusted expert for clients.
  • Engage IBM partners and your extended team to jointly progress and close deals.

Requirements

  • Actively Enrolled: Registered undergraduate or graduate university student.
  • Education: Seeking B.S. or M.S. degree in Business, Communications, International Relations, Management Information Systems (MIS), Engineering or similar disciplines.
  • Self-Starter: Motivated to work with clients and can lead projects independently.
  • Business Acumen: Asks open-ended questions and understands needs to address business challenges.
  • Team Player: Demonstrates team collaboration and can navigate different communication styles.
  • Excellent Communication Skills: Possess verbal, written, and interpersonal skills that are engaging, compelling and influential.
  • Confidence to contact and engage potential new customers and deliver an elevated experience.
  • Motivation to achieve sales, business objectives and high client satisfaction.
  • Aptitude to utilize selling technologies to network, engage clients, and identify new business opportunities.
  • Embrace curiosity and a growth mindset.
  • Position requires ability to work without visa sponsorship, with the willingness to travel up to 10% annually.
  • Must be able to work in one of the following IBM offices: Atlanta, GA, or Austin, TX.
