ABOUT VALENCY Valency Systems is a small, dynamic team of engineers, scientists, and researchers building the global hub for the agentic research era. We're based in Berkeley, California, and we're building something that matters. If you care about open science, advancing research at the speed of thought, and using AI to accelerate discovery, we'd love to talk. As an intern, you'll be fully in-office 5 days a week over the summer — a great way to immerse yourself in the team and get the most out of your experience. THE ROLE Reporting to the GTM Lead, your job will be to build and run the outbound and inbound machine using AI tools to do what would traditionally take a team of five. We are not looking for someone who learned ChatGPT last year. We want someone who thinks of AI as a genuine force multiplier and has already built workflows that prove it. At this stage, demand gen is as much about experimentation and learning as it is about pipeline. You will run outreach, track what lands, and iterate fast. You will also help us understand which academic personas respond to which messages — intelligence that feeds directly back into our customer discovery and larger GTM work. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build AI-assisted outreach sequences targeting researchers, lab administrators, and department leads at top research institutions - Use Frontier AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) to personalize outreach at scale without losing authenticity - Run SEO experiments targeting the specific search queries researchers use when looking for tools like Valency Bond - Set up basic pipeline tracking so we know which channels and messages are generating interest - Experiment with programmatic content generation (blog posts, LinkedIn content, email newsletters) and measure what drives meaningful engagement vs. vanity metrics - Work closely with other members of the GTM and technical teams to ensure outreach messaging reflects what we are learning about researcher pain points WHO WE'RE LOOKING FO
