About the Role

Switchboard is growing and we’re looking for a high-performing, motivated final or penultimate year student to join us as a Sales and Account Management Intern. This is a paid role.

You will be working part-time directly with our Business Development Manager, supporting whatever is highest priority across the business, largely focused on Sales and Account Management, with some BizOps tasks as well. This is a hands-on role in a small startup, so you will wear a lot of hats and learn quickly. You will work under a hands-on manager who will coach you, give you real responsibility, and help you learn fast.

The main focus areas are:

Account management

• Support customer check-ins and follow-ups
• Help keep accounts organised, track action items, and ensure customers feel supported
• Assist with light pipeline and opportunity tracking

Sales outreach

• Customer acquisition outreach
• Sales ops support (CRM hygiene, notes, sequences)

Marketing support

• Create simple Canva assets (one-pagers, product snapshots, customer updates)
• Help keep marketing collateral up to date and aligned with our brand

Ops support

• General ops problem solving and process improvement

Accounts receivable

• Assist with monthly invoicing follow-ups
• Track overdue accounts and follow up professionally
• Keep receivables organised and accurate

Monthly reporting

• Help prepare monthly reporting (MRR, collections, overdue summary, basic performance reporting)
• Maintain trackers and flag anomalies early

This will be a varied role, and it will be a lot of fun and a great learning opportunity.



About You

A final year or penultimate year student (any discipline considered). Previous intern experience, especially in a sales, customer service, or client-facing role is helpful but not mandatory.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Organised and detail-oriented (you catch things others miss)
• Proactive and a self-starter (you do not wait to be asked twice)
• Comfortable switching between tasks
• Happy to own some “boring but important” work
• Confident communicating clearly and professionally with customers
• Excited by startups and willing to get hands dirty

This is a great role for someone who wants real exposure across account management, marketing, finance ops, and sales ops, not just a narrow internship.
