About The Position

Apprenticely is working with our company partner, the Foreko to add a Growth Operations Intern to their team in Bentonville, Arkansas! Our Apprenticely Internship Program is a three-month program that places selected candidates with employers across Arkansas in IT positions to gain experience under the guidance of a professional mentor/IT support team. Internships are designed as an on-ramp to an IT career and can roll into full-time positions based on employer demand. About Foreko: Foreko is the smart procurement operating system that forecasts, automates, and executes. We replace manual spreadsheet chaos with AI-powered data ingestion, machine learning demand forecasting, and agentic order execution, giving founders back their time and their confidence in their numbers. We are early, growing fast, and headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas. About the Role: This is not a traditional marketing internship. As a Go-to-Market Engineer Intern, you sit at the intersection of marketing, data, and technology. You'll build the systems, automations, and infrastructure that make our GTM machine run: marketing ops, CRM workflows, data pipelines, attribution, and AI-powered growth experiments.
