Description For Sales Engineer - Internship

Join our Hospitality Team as a Sales Engineer Intern and kickstart your career in the exciting intersection of sales and technology! In this role, you'll play a crucial part in enhancing Lightspeed's sales productivity and streamlining deal flow by providing technical insights for complex solutions.

You'll collaborate closely with Sales, Product Marketing and Product Management teams, gaining hands-on experience while engaging with key technical decision-makers. Your contributions will help ensure that our proposals meet customer needs effectively. If you're eager to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to hear from you!

What you'll be doing:

  • Be a functional and technical point of contact within Lightspeed's Sales team
  • Proactively scope the functionality and technical solution required to address customer requirements, assess customers' met and unmet needs, and recommend optimum solutions and support
  • You will "wow!" prospects and customers by acting as the lead technical expert during product demonstrations, in person or through webinars
  • Creating sales-focused resources to highlight the value propositions of our offerings

What's in it for you:

  • Ability to do your job in a truly flexible environment
  • Genuine career opportunities in a company that's creating new jobs everyday
  • Unlock your potential with our growth program, paving the way for promotions and career advancement
  • Work in a team big enough for growth but lean enough to make a real impact

Lightspeed is building communities through commerce, and we need people from all backgrounds and lived experiences to do that. We were founded in 2005, in Montreal's gay village and our original members were all part of the LGBTQ+ community. The ethos of our business has been about inclusion from the very beginning, and we strive to provide a workplace where everyone belongs.
