Growth Automation Engineer (Sales) Intern

Location: Montreal, In-Office (5420 Boul. Saint-Laurent, Montréal, QC H2T 1S1) — This is a 100% on-site role.

Timing: Start on January 12 2026

Duration: 4 to 6 months

Commitment: Full-time

Vessel is on the lookout for a jack of all trades to support the Sales team with short-term strategic priorities.

Who We Are: Vessel's Story

Private equity and venture capital — a $12 trillion asset class — remain constrained by analog processes. High-performing funds face discovery barriers, prohibitively high minimums ($500k+ average), and reliance on offline workflows (PDF PPMs, Excel trackers, manual KYC). This limits access for 40M+ accredited retail investors and creates operational inefficiencies for 85% of fund managers. Vessel is revolutionizing the alternative investment landscape with our comprehensive SaaS platform designed for fund managers. Our suite of tools streamlines back-office operations, marketing, investor relations, KYC/AML compliance, and fundraising activities. For investors, we offer digital profiles that are portable across various asset classes and geographies, facilitating seamless investment experiences. Together, we enable a “one-click invest” functionality, connecting fund managers with a growing market of informed individual investors. As a startup, Vessel has already empowered fund managers to secure hundreds of millions of dollars through our platform, demonstrating our commitment to innovation and efficiency in private markets. Looking ahead, Vessel has an ambitious product roadmap.

Vessel was built by former private market investors and fund managers (from firms such as Inovia Capital, Teralys Capital and Power Sustainable) that have been very successful at fundraising and managing investor relations. Our mission is to make investing in private funds easy (almost as easy as investing in a stock on Wealthsimple) and make fundraising less painful. We’re a white-label SaaS platform for fund managers and investor relations teams to wow investors and manage all parts of the relationship with investors, from marketing an investment opportunity to onboarding investors, and sharing updates and financial reports.

Vessel has already helped fund managers close millions of dollars, grown significantly since last year and signed some of the most well-established fund managers in the industry.

Our team is nimble, we’re growing fast, and we’ve built something that people love. We’re making money and are well-funded (backed by some top investors).

The Role

We’re looking for a Growth Automation Engineer Intern who loves to build, automate, and scale. You’ll work at the intersection of data, growth, and systems - building the infrastructure that powers our go-to-market engine.

You’ll help us design, test, and optimize workflows that connect tools like Clay, HubSpot, Zapier, and Claude code, ensuring our team moves faster, reaches the right people, and turns insights into action.

If you’re the kind of person who gets excited about connecting APIs, building no-code automations, and using data to drive growth - you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll do

• Design and launch automations that make sales processes smarter, faster, and more scalable.
• Connect tools like Clay, HubSpot, Zapier, Claude code, and n8n to enrich leads, route data, and trigger actions automatically.
• Build dashboards and reports that make performance visible and actionable.
• Experiment with AI and APIs to automate research, prospecting, and data enrichment.
• Standardize and document processes so that what you build can be scaled across teams.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Product to unlock new efficiencies across the customer journey.

Who you are

You’re curious, scrappy, and love figuring out how to make systems work smarter. You get a thrill out of automating repetitive tasks and finding clever shortcuts that save hours. You think in logic, loops, and workflows - and you love a good challenge.

You might be a fit if you:

• Interest in Private markets, sales operations, automation, or data systems.
• Have used (or are excited to learn) tools like Clay, HubSpot, Zapier, or n8n.
• Enjoy connecting tools, cleaning data, and making things run seamlessly.
• Have a basic understanding of APIs, webhooks, and automation logic.
• Thrive in fast-moving environments where you’re trusted to figure things out.
• You’re technical or eager to be: using tools like Claude Code or writing simple scripts to supercharge automation feels exciting, not intimidating.

Why Join Vessel

You’re curious, scrappy, and love figuring out how to make systems work smarter. You get a thrill out of automating repetitive tasks and finding clever shortcuts that save hours. You think in logic, loops, and workflows - and you love a good challenge.

At Vessel, you’ll:

• Work directly with the founders and leadership team.
• Build automations that actually get used - by sales, customer success, and leadership.
• Get exposure to how a high-growth startup operates across sales, product, and customer success.
• Learn how top venture and private equity firms operate behind the scenes.
