ABOUT

NewForm is the creative intelligence company. We help category disruptors like Kalshi, ElevenLabs, Babbel, and others scale paid ads by turning creative into a measurable, repeatable growth system.

We oversee $100M+ per year in paid media spend and create thousands of human ads each month, with each ad making our system smarter.

THE ROLE

As a Business Development Intern, you'll work directly with Newform's leadership and sales team to support outbound sales, partnerships, and revenue expansion. This role is ideal for someone who wants hands-on exposure to how a high-growth agency acquires, qualifies, and closes clients. You'll help research prospects, support outreach efforts, prepare sales materials, and assist in managing the top of the funnel. This is not a "watch from the sidelines" internship—you'll be embedded in real deals with billion-dollar companies.

  • Build and maintain prospect lists using tools like LinkedIn, Apollo, HubSpot
  • Support outbound outreach efforts (email, LinkedIn, and warm intros)
  • Help prepare pitch decks, proposals, and sales materials
  • Assist in tracking leads, pipeline status, and deal notes in CRM tools
  • Sit in on sales calls and client meetings to learn discovery, positioning, and closing
  • Support partnerships, referrals, and special growth initiatives as needed

REQUIREMENTS

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail
  • Comfortable working with data, spreadsheets, and basic analysis
  • Curious about startups, marketing, sales, and entrepreneurship
  • Self-starter mindset: proactive, reliable, and eager to learn
  • (Preferred) Prior experience in sales, marketing, consulting, or startups
  • (Preferred) Familiarity with paid social, digital marketing, or creator-led brands

BENEFITS

  • Paid internship
  • Role with office in NYC
  • Direct exposure to agency leadership and real client deals
  • Hands-on experience in business development and growth strategy
  • Opportunity for a full-time role upon successful completion
  • Fast-paced environment with meaningful responsibility
  • Annual team offsites (previous trips include Tulum, Mexico and Hokkaido, Japan)

Why work at Newform

  • Engineering Culture: Small but growing engineering team (3 engineers currently, ~7% of workforce). Engineers work on Framework, WillBot, and the creative ontology — high-impact, data-intensive problems.
  • Growth Trajectory: 100% headcount growth YoY; company is still early-stage (founded 2023) but scaling fast — opportunity for early employees to shape the direction.
  • Perks: Not explicitly listed, but the company offers a referral bonus ($5k) and operates a cutting-edge studio environment. Note: Glassdoor-style reviews on LinkedIn rate the company 2.1/5.0 (8 reviews) with criticism around work-life balance and compensation — candidates should verify current culture directly.
