Job Description:

About Altera

At Altera, we are driving innovation at the intersection of programmable logic and artificial intelligence. Our mission is to empower customers to accelerate AI-driven solutions across industries, from data centers to edge computing.

Role Overview

We are looking for a marketing-minded Intern who wants to go beyond campaigns and get hands-on with how AI can improve the internal engine of a sales organization! Working alongside Sales Operations and Sales Support, you will help identify where manual processes slow the team down — and build AI-powered tools to fix them. No prior engineering experience required; what matters is your ability to think analytically, communicate clearly, and follow through on a project.

What You'll Build

• CRM hygiene: Help automate data entry, cleanup, and accuracy in Salesforce

• Demand creation: Support AI-assisted workflows for pipeline generation campaigns

• Dashboards: Build visual sales reports the team can use in weekly reviews

• KPI tracking: Define and instrument the metrics that matter to leadership

Responsibilities:

• Shadow Sales Operations and Sales Support teams to understand current workflows and pinpoint where AI can save time

• Assist in setting up and testing AI-assisted automations for Salesforce data hygiene — things like deduplication, missing field alerts, and account enrichment

• Support demand creation efforts by helping design and document AI-powered outreach sequencing workflows

• Build clear, easy-to-read sales dashboards (using Excel, PowerPoint, or a BI tool) that track pipeline health, conversion rates, and rep activity

• Work with stakeholders to define KPIs, then help wire those metrics into the team's reporting cadence

• Synthesize data and prepare concise internal summaries and slide decks for team review meetings

• Document every tool and process you build so the team can maintain it independently

The pay range below is for Bay Area California only. Actual salary may vary based on a number of factors including job location, job-related knowledge, skills, experiences, trainings, etc. We also offer incentive opportunities that reward employees based on individual and company performance.

$85K - $90K USD

We use artificial intelligence to screen, assess, or select applicants for the position.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a Degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field

• Demonstrated ability to manage a project end-to-end — from planning to delivery — as shown through coursework, clubs, or prior work

• Comfort with data: able to build and interpret spreadsheets, track budgets or metrics, and spot patterns

• Strong written and verbal communication; able to present ideas clearly to non-technical teammates

• Curious about AI and willing to learn how to use AI tools practically — no coding required

• Highly organized and self-motivated; able to manage your own time and priorities

Preferred Qualifications:

• Familiarity with CRM concepts (e.g., pipeline stages, lead tracking) or prior exposure to Salesforce

• Experience building presentations or visual reports — Canva, PowerPoint, Google Slides

• Any coursework or self-study in data analysis, marketing analytics, or business intelligence

• Prior experience in an administrative, operations, or coordination role

What You'll Gain:

• Real-world experience implementing AI tools inside an enterprise sales organization

• Mentorship from Sales Operations and Sales Support leaders at an AI semiconductor company

• A tangible portfolio piece: shipped dashboards, automations, and documented workflows

• A strong foundation in sales operations — a fast-growing career path at the intersection of marketing, data, and strategy
