Protocase USA Sales Intern

Protocase USA Sales Internship

Term: Summer 2025 (May 14, 2025 to August 29, 2025)

Location: In-Office Only - Skyline Center at 929 N Front Street Suite 460 Wilmington, NC 28401

Full transparency: we work a little differently around here.

This won’t be an internship where you fade into the background. We come to work every day because we strive to earn a living in a meaningful way, and make an impact with that they contribute. Too many people exist without finding joy or purpose in their work, and we believe that’s just wrong. After all, we spend at least a third of our lives working—so why not create workplaces where people want to come to work in the morning and feel good when they leave at the end of the day?

At 45Drives, your ideas don’t just matter—they shape our future. We thrive on collaboration and innovation, where every voice is heard, valued, and makes a real impact. Learn more about how we work differently by visiting this website: https://workdifferently.info/

What Makes This Internship DIFFERENT?

We’re not just offering an escape from bureaucracy and a seriously awesome culture in downtown Wilmington—we’re giving you something most internships can’t: An all-expenses-paid trip to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia! You’ll get to visit our Canadian headquarters and experience our culture firsthand both inside and outside the workplace! From behind-the-scenes tours of our fast-paced operations to soaking in the breathtaking views of the world-famous Cabot Trail, this trip is your chance to see what makes us stand out—and why people love being part of this team. (This trip is estimated to be about 1-2 weeks at the beginning of your internship!)
