About lemlist
lemlist is the AI-powered sales engagement platform helping sales teams build pipeline smarter, not harder.

We’re building the next generation of outbound: AI-first, multi-channel, highly personalized, and deeply integrated into the way modern sales teams work.
And we’re just getting started.
The Role : BDR Intern
We’re looking for a highly motivated Business Development Representative Intern to join our Paris team.
This is not a “coffee & shadowing” internship.
You’ll learn how modern SaaS & AI sales really work:
outbound prospecting
cold calling
LinkedIn outreach
AI-powered prospecting
sales psychology
pipeline generation
multi-channel campaigns
discovery fundamentals
You’ll work directly with experienced sales leaders and top performing reps in a fast-growing international SaaS environment.
If you’re ambitious, curious, resilient, and hungry to grow, this is probably one of the best learning opportunities you can get in B2B SaaS sales.
What You’ll Do
Identify and target companies that fit our ICP
Build prospect lists and outbound sequences
Reach out through email, LinkedIn, phone calls, and more
Generate qualified meetings for the sales team
Learn how to run discovery conversations
Use modern AI sales tools daily
Work closely with AEs, Sales Managers, and Marketing
Continuously improve messaging and outbound performance
What We’re Looking For
French native speaker
Strong English communication skills
You are energetic, coachable, and proactive
You are not afraid of hearing “no”
You like challenges and moving fast
You want to learn sales in a real startup environment
You are curious about AI, SaaS, and modern GTM strategies
Previous sales experience is a plus but motivation matters more
Why This Is A Huge Opportunity
At lemlist, interns are not treated like interns.
You’ll get:
real ownership
real training
real responsibility
direct exposure to leadership
fast feedback loops
an environment where performance matters more than experience
Most importantly:
There is a real career path.
Many of the best SaaS sales careers start in BDR roles. The goal is not to keep you as an intern forever the goal is to help you grow into a top performer.
What You’ll Learn
How outbound actually works in 2026
How to sell in a competitive SaaS market
How AI is transforming sales
How to build pipeline from scratch
How high-growth companies scale GTM teams
How to communicate with executives
You’ll leave this experience with skills that are extremely valuable on the market.
