GTM Intern
Dawn Industries · San Francisco, CA, US / Remote (US)
Job Description
About Dawn Industries
Industrial robots are programmed like it's 1995. Every brand speaks its own language, none of the tools talk to each other, and changes are still made point by point, creating downtime.
We build VIM: one platform where robots from every vendor are programmed, verified in simulation before anything touches the floor, and kept in sync with the real production line.
About the role
We are looking for a high-agency GTM Intern to work directly with the founder on outbound sales, pipeline building, customer research, and hosting private events. This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to learn founder-led sales at an early-stage industrial AI startup.
We sell into three connected worlds:
- Manufacturers: Automation directors, plant managers, and manufacturing engineering leaders managing the use of industrial robots in factories.
- Robot OEMs: Major companies building leading industrial robots and the ecosystem around them.
- System integrators: Firms that design, program, and commission robot cells, touching dozens of plants a year.
Your job is to learn all three fast, find the right people, and open the doors — the meetings you create become the pilots that land on real factory floors. You will have real ownership over the GTM pipeline from day one.
What you'll do
- Build the account map: Build targeted lists of manufacturers, robotics companies, automation integrators, and factory leaders.
- Run outbound: Send personalized emails and LinkedIn messages, then covert them to meetings and in-person demos.
- Own the CRM: Manage an AI-native CRM system which includes list building, contact enrichment, meeting notes, status tracking, post-event follow-up.
- Plan private customer dinners: Organize venue, guest list, invite copy, RSVPs, seating, and follow-up with the founders.
Who you are
- Excited by startups, manufacturing, robotics, or AI.
- High agency — you'd rather send the message today than plan it for next week.
- Write clearly and personalize fast, with AI tools and without them.
- Comfortable with cold outreach and picking up the phone.
- Organized and detail-oriented.
What you'll work with
HubSpot · Apollo · LinkedIn Sales Navigator · Claude and other AI tools · Google Workspace.
It’s okay if you haven’t used all of these. But we expect you to learn them fast.
Preferred previous experience (Not Required)
- Startup B2B sales/GTM
- Student campus ambassador
- Experience in building and managing a CRM pipeline
- Robotics & manufacturing industry connections
How to apply
Send us:
1. One company you'd contact first on our behalf, who at that company, and why. Three sentences is plenty.
2. One thing that shows you can do this: outreach you've written, an event you ran, a club you grew, anything.
