Sales Development Intern (Summer 2027)

Relay Sales Intern Program

Relay is the Intelligent System of Action for the physical economy. While the digital revolution has historically left the deskless workforce behind, we are closing that gap by transforming analog frontline operations into a data-rich, AI-powered ecosystem.

Raleigh, NC-based Relay was recently ranked #175 on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 and #920 on the Inc. 5000.

We aren't just selling radios; we are building the digital foundation for the 80% of the global workforce that doesn't work at a desk.

What makes our Sumer Intern program different:

• Hands-on coaching and development from best-in-class Sales Development leaders to help you understand the tech sales landscape and how you could plug into that post grad
• Executive and senior leadership team exposure - regular touchpoints with Relay's leadership team, including Q&A coffee chats, Breakfast with the CEO, and working sessions.
• Cross-functional cohort - work alongside interns across every part of the business, not just your team.
• Structured learning - regular skill-building sessions covering topics from product strategy to financial modeling to sales craft to professional networking and interviewing skills.
• Real ownership - you'll own a project from kickoff to final presentation, with mentors and fellow Relayers who are invested in your success.
• Intern showcase - present your work to the full company at the end of the summer
• Raleigh HQ experience - team lunches, volunteer Intern Impact day, social events, and a chance to see how a scaling tech company operates up close! Work from our amenity-rich Raleigh campus (fitness center, sports courts) with a team dedicated to "Best Work In My Life" (BWIML).
