Business Development Internship (US Market) - English native speaker

Anthropos is looking for an Business Development Representative for the US Market to accelerate our growth with Anthropos Workforce, the Enterprise AI transformation platform that helps large companies map, verify, and upskill their teams at scale.

AI is changing the skills required in every role, and large enterprises have a problem they can no longer ignore: they don't actually know what their people can do. Resumes and self-assessments don't answer that question. Anthropos does, with a skills taxonomy of 60,000 skills and AI Simulations that verify skills by putting people inside realistic work scenarios instead of quizzes. Enterprise customers in the US and Europe, including Together AI, Italgas, and FS Group (the Italian national railway, an 80,000-person organization), already run on Anthropos, and we're now scaling the US market.

That's where you come in.

You will join an existing team of 2 BDRs in our Swiss office in Chiasso and you will work on targeting US prospects in the East Coast while also occasionally work on specific EMEA markets like the UK.

This internship has a 6-month duration and can lead to a full-time position for the role.

Tasks

• Reach out to potential prospects via cold calling, email and personalized messages. You will spend most of your time doing this together with our team and doing it on your own as well.
• Shadow our sales team in cold calls, email reach out and outbound activities to learn how to present our solution and target the right organizations
• Learn to demo our product, explain ROI and value to our prospects
• Collaborate with the rest of the team across a variety of activities primarily in sales, marketing and operations.

Requirements

We are looking for smart and brilliant people that are hard working, positive, curious and have passion for connecting with people.

In this job your soft skills matter a lot more thant your hard skills and will be 90% of your success.

This internship is on-site in our office in Chiasso (Ticino) and we will not accept hybrid or full-remote candidates. In case you need to relocate we will support you with a relocation budget.

This position requires a native English speaker, bonus point if you are a US citizen and US native speaker.

Benefits

We are a small and very experienced team of operators that has been building together for multiple years in the software enterprise space.

This position has a base salary with potential bonus connected to results.

The first step in your application will be completing an AI Simulatons powered by the Anthropos platform where you will need to complete a set of tasks and show your ability to use soft and hard skills. You will receive immediate and detailed feedback and we will reach out for an interview if you score more than 80/100 in the process.

At Anthropos we're building the Enterprise AI transformation platform. We help companies map the skills they have, verify them in realistic scenarios, and develop the ones their people need to thrive in the AI era.

Our core technology is AI Simulations: immersive, real-life scenarios that assess technical and non-technical skills the way work actually happens, across voice, chat, code, and documents. Around it we've built AI Labs for hands-on work with tools like Claude Code and Copilot, AI Interviews for the human signal, AI Readiness to score how prepared an organization truly is, and AI Academy to close the gaps we uncover.

We've been building together for more than a decade. Before Anthropos, we founded and exited Cloud Academy, scaling it to 250+ people and $30M in revenue. Now we're doing it again, for the biggest shift in how people work in a generation.
