Want to spend your summer interning at a company that is consistently rated as one of the best places to work in the country? Is this a rhetorical question??

The Motley Fool is a multimedia financial services company that provides financial solutions for investors through various stock, investing, and personal finance services. We've been on the block for about 28 years and have honed a reputation for producing industry-leading work in a nationally recognized workplace. Our mission is to help the world become happier, smarter, and richer and the backbone supporting this global mission is our top-notch tech team. If you dream of becoming a brilliant and skilled member-facing sales representative and are ready to work hard on cutting edge technologies alongside awesome coworkers, then step up to the plate, and tell us why you should land a spot among our Foolish ranks.

For eight Foolish weeks as a Sales Intern, you'll be learning our offerings, talking to our members and supporting them in their journey as they grow on their Foolish investing path. You will have hands-on experience working with members who may be just starting out with The Motley Fool and the goal will be to help guide them towards higher value services that will meet their investment goals. Additionally, there may also be the opportunity to work on cross-departmental projects.

You'll be challenged and mentored by some of our greatest team members all summer, and in turn, you'll develop the skills it takes to cultivate a member first mindset that will set you apart from your peers. We're excited to open our doors for Summer 2022 Sales Intern applicants, so send us your most Foolishly written cover letter and your ultra-impressive resume. We're prepared to be wowed!

This is a paid full-time (40 hrs/wk) internship from June - July, 2022, that will be fully remote, although we have office locations in Denver, CO and Alexandria, VA.
