Customer Data ML Intern at AvePoint in Arlington, VA

Role Description 

We are seeking a Customer Data Machine Learning Intern to help enhance and evolve our opportunity health scoring model, a critical capability used to improve pipeline quality, win rates, and revenue outcomes. This role will focus on expanding feature engineering, improving model performance, and supporting experimentation using customer, sales, and product data within Microsoft Fabric. The intern will work closely with Data Science, Analytics, and RevOps partners to integrate additional signals and ensure outputs are actionable for sales stakeholders. This is a hands-on opportunity to apply machine learning in a real business context and contribute directly to revenue-driving insights. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Review and analyze the existing opportunity health scoring model, including features, logic, and performance. 

• Explore and integrate multiple data sources such as CRM, sales activity, product usage, and historical deal data. 

• Design and develop new features to improve predictive accuracy (e.g., engagement trends, activity velocity, deal progression signals).
