Paid + Performance Bonuses + Commission

Want Real Enterprise Experience — Not a Coffee Internship?

Optiwise AI is a fast-growing AI startup based in Silicon Valley with an office in Bentonville. We are working with billion-dollar brands that sell on Walmart.com and Amazon.

We were built by former Walmart and Amazon tech leaders to solve one of the biggest challenges brands face today: increasing digital penetration profitably.

If you’re a University of Arkansas student interested in AI, enterprise sales, startups, or the Walmart ecosystem — this is a front-row seat to how high-level business actually works.

Why This Role Is Different

You won’t be filing papers.

You won’t be shadowing quietly.

You’ll be:

• Reaching out to Directors and VPs at major brands

• Setting enterprise-level strategy meetings

• Working directly with founders and leadership

• Learning how AI is transforming retail

• Getting exposure to the Walmart supplier ecosystem

This is real enterprise sales experience — while you’re still in college.

What You’ll Do

• Identify and research brands selling on Walmart.com

• Execute outbound calls and emails to senior decision-makers

• Set qualified meetings with enterprise prospects

• Attend live sales calls to learn executive-level pitching

• Help refine messaging and positioning

• Contribute to growth inside an AI startup

You’ll learn how enterprise SaaS is sold at scale.

What You’ll Gain

• Enterprise AI Tech Sales experience

• Exposure to billion-dollar brands

• Startup operating experience

• AI product positioning knowledge

• Network inside Northwest Arkansas

• Resume-level credibility

High performers will be considered for full-time roles after graduation.

Who We’re Looking For

• Confident communicator

• Comfortable picking up the phone

• Competitive and goal-driven

• Curious about AI and technology

• Professional and coachable

Sales experience is a plus — not required.

Ambition and polish is required.

Compensation

• Performance bonuses for meetings set

• Commission on closed enterprise deals (big pay upside)

This is not a flat-pay internship. There is a big upside potential in pay.

Why Bentonville?

There is no better place to learn enterprise retail tech sales than Northwest Arkansas.

You’ll be operating at the center of the Walmart ecosystem — while building experience inside a Silicon Valley AI startup.
