Business Development Intern

About NorthOpsNorthOps™ builds custom ERP systems for businesses that design, manufacture, and actually install. These are companies managing multiple interconnected operations—engineering specs, production schedules, field installation logistics, quality control, and financials—all currently scattered across spreadsheets, email, and disconnected tools.Most of these businesses are stuck on legacy ERP systems built for manufacturing or construction alone, not for companies doing both. An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning system) is basically software that connects all the different parts of a business—finance, operations, inventory, project management, scheduling—into one unified platform. Instead of manually syncing data between ten different tools, everything talks to each other automatically.We replace those outdated systems with custom-built platforms engineered specifically for how these companies actually operate. The result is unified visibility, automated workflows, and operational intelligence that transforms how they make decisions.The RoleWe're seeking a motivated Business Development Intern to help generate qualified pipeline and move leads toward closed deals.
