The Internship

If you are relentless, thrive in a competitive environment, and want to learn the ins and outs of a sales role, this internship is a great opportunity for you. We're a fast-paced established "startup" innovating an old-school $400 BILLION dollar industry. The experience you obtain at Machinio in 3 months is worth more than experience you'd obtain in 1 year anywhere else!

With headquarters in Chicago, Berlin and teammates all over the world, this role offers the unique opportunity to be a part of something unconventional with limitless growth potential in the future.

Machinio

We are the fastest growing machinery marketplace in the world, featured in Forbes (founders recognized as 30 under 30), Crain’s Chicago Business, Business Insider and Inc.com, and more.

What you will learn:

• To establish relationships with business owners and C-level executives all over North America and sign them up as members.
• To be a consultant: understand their businesses, their growth potential.
• To close deals

You will make the most out of this opportunity if you are or want to be:

• Likeable: you’re able to resonate with prospects and develop relationships with them.
• A team player: you collaborate with the team to improve internal processes.
• And if you don't like losing, ever.

Work Life

• Casual work environment and a fun team (we’re cool).
• Office in the heart of the Loop, with easy access to anywhere. We're remote for the time being due to COVID-19, but we starting to have in-person team events. This opportunity would be remote to start.
• Quarterly team events, hangout fridays (lots of beer & games), casual happy hours and more!

Compensation

• Generous compensation for an internship opportunity, to be discussed in STEP 2 of the interview process.
• Robust benefits package for those who stay: Unlimited PTO and vacation based on performance, Medical insurance, Dental insurance, Vision insurance, Flexible Spending Account, Health Savings Account, Life & Disability Insurance, Retirement Benefits/401(k) and Voluntary benefits.

Our Interview Process:

Step 1 - Phone Interview with the Head of Operations, Machinio/MachineryHost, to get to know you.

Step 2 - Video Interview with our Senior Sales Manager, to discuss the opportunity in depth.

Step 3 - Final interview with our Director of Revenue.

• We're efficient decision-makers. Our interview process has a 2-week timeline and we do not waste time.
• We're not recruiters. We're real employees with long tenures and institutional knowledge, and we work with and manage the team that is doing the job you're interviewing for every day. We take the time to interview because we want to be transparent, and we want to maintain the standard of our team (or raise the bar higher). Our people are our most important resource!
