About the role

Zenova is a tech scale-up based in Madrid that is revolutionizing the way large companies and real estate groups manage their energy. We are the all-in-one energy management software for large clients and we are in full growth mode.

We are looking to bring on a Growth & Business Development Intern (SDR) to join our commercial team.

The position starts with a 4–6 month internship, designed as a learning and development stage, with the goal that, upon completion and if there is a good fit on both sides, you can join the team as a Junior SDR.

We don't expect you to arrive knowing B2B sales. We are looking for a curious, communicative, and resourceful person with commercial energy and a desire to learn how business is built from within a scale-up and to grow professionally with us.

We value your ability to learn, communicate, be consistent, and make things happen far more than your previous experience.

What you'll do

During the internship, you will learn to identify companies with potential, research accounts, find the right people, and open new conversations that can become commercial opportunities for Zenova.

The first few weeks will be focused on understanding Zenova, our product, our clients, and the way we work commercially.

As you learn, you will begin to take on accounts and processes with greater autonomy, with the goal that by the end of the internship you are ready to make the leap to a Junior position within the team.

Prospecting & Research

  • Research and identify companies and potential clients.

  • Locate decision-makers and relevant contacts within each company.

  • Understand the context of each account and identify where Zenova can add value.

Outbound & Sales

  • Contact potential clients via phone, email, and LinkedIn.

  • Learn to understand their needs and qualify potential opportunities.

  • Secure meetings for the commercial team and follow up on contacts.

Sales Operations & Data

  • Log and keep commercial activity up to date in our CRM.

  • Work with the Sales team to prioritize accounts and opportunities.

  • Analyze messages, activity, and results to help us improve our prospecting.

In short, during these months you will get first-hand knowledge of how the commercial area of a B2B SaaS scale-up works, so you can gain autonomy and prepare to take on a Junior role.

What we're looking for

We are looking for someone at the start of their professional career, with an interest in developing in the world of sales and business development.

For us, the most important things are:

  • Curiosity and a strong desire to learn.

  • Very good communication skills and ease in talking with people.

  • Being a proactive, organized, and consistent person.

  • Commercial attitude and goal orientation.

  • Ability to research and understand different companies and businesses.

  • Initiative to ask, try, and look for ways to do things better.

  • Ability to formalize an internship agreement with a university or study center.

Nice to have

You have had some initial experience in sales, customer service, or business development, you know tools like HubSpot or LinkedIn Sales Navigator, or you have an interest in sectors such as technology, SaaS, energy, or real estate.

What you'll get

  • 4–6 month internship with a learning and development plan.

  • Real possibility of joining as a Junior SDR after the internship ends.

  • Hybrid model: 3 days a week in our Madrid office (Cuzco metro).

  • Full remote work during summer, Christmas and Easter.

  • Flexible working hours.

  • Early finish on Fridays.

  • Training and direct support from the commercial team.

  • Real participation in processes and opportunities from the start.

  • Welcome pack, events, and team activities.

  • Coffee, fruit and snacks in the office.

Our goal is not for you to come for a few months just to "do an internship." We want you to learn, gain autonomy, and build your career in Sales with us.

Hiring process

We want the process to be agile and for you to also have space to get to know us.

01. Interview with People

An initial conversation to get to know each other, understand your motivations, and tell you about Zenova, the team, and the internship development plan.

02. Practical interview

We will work together on a small case inspired by real situations you could encounter as an SDR at Zenova.

We are not looking for a perfect answer. We want to understand how you think, how you structure a problem and how you reach a solution.

03. Final interview

A final conversation with someone from the commercial team to get to know each other better and ensure there is a good fit on both sides.

Additional information

If you want to start your career in Sales, you enjoy talking to people, you are curious about how businesses work, and you are motivated by working toward goals and seeing the direct impact of your work, we want to meet you.

We are not looking for experience. We are looking for potential, curiosity, and a desire to learn. The rest we can build together.
