Role summary

We’re hiring motivated college students and recent graduates to join our sales & marketing team. This role is hands-on: you’ll help find and qualify leads, support demo logistics, create bite-size marketing content, and learn how technical products get sold to procurement and operations teams. Great learning opportunity and real resume-building work.

Key responsibilities

• Develop go-to-market strategies and build segmented prospect lists across police departments, school districts, facilities teams, and systems integrators.
• Execute targeted outreach campaigns (email, LinkedIn, phone) to introduce HawkRobo solutions and build high-value relationships with prospective customers and partners.
• Qualify inbound and outbound leads, assess organizational needs, and translate customer requirements into tailored solution angles and demo narratives.
• Schedule product demos and pilot meetings for the sales team, ensuring all briefing materials, agendas, and supporting documents are fully prepared.
• Draft concise marketing copy and social content to support outreach campaigns, events, and brand visibility across digital channels.
• Monitor outreach KPIs, pilot outcomes, and customer feedback to support continuous GTM process improvement.
• Maintain accurate CRM records (HubSpot/Salesforce), track pipeline activities, and provide regular reporting on progress and performance trends.
• Support on-site demos, open houses, and customer sessions — including setup, note-taking, logistics, and capturing actionable customer insights.

What You’ll Gain

• Real-world pilot exposure – Participate in demos and pilots with police departments, school districts, and enterprise facilities.

Who should apply

• Comfortable making outreach by message or phone and writing short marketing copy.
• Organized, coachable, and able to work independently.
• Basic Excel/Google Sheets skills; CRM experience is a plus but not required.
• Interest in tech, robotics, public safety, or education is helpful but not required.

Hours & compensation
