Business Operations & Marketing Intern

Location: Hybrid – Columbia, MD

About the Internship

Are you entrepreneurial, ambitious, and eager to gain hands-on experience working directly with executive leadership? This internship provides a rare opportunity to work closely with the CEO and Senior Vice President of a fast-growing technology consulting firm supporting federal and commercial clients.

This is not a coffee-run internship. You will actively contribute to real business initiatives across marketing, branding, business development, and executive operations. You’ll gain a behind-the-scenes look at how a technology firm builds its brand, scales its business, and engages with customers and partners.

What You Will Gain

By the end of this internship, you will have built marketable experience and portfolio artifacts in:

• Business operations and executive leadership exposure
• Marketing, brand development, and social media strategy
• B2B sales support and customer engagement
• Professional communication, project execution, and business research

You will also receive mentorship, executive coaching, and career development guidance directly from senior leadership

Key Responsibilities

Executive & Business Support

• Assist the CEO Office with planning, research, scheduling, and follow-ups
• Take notes in meetings, track action items, and help prepare executive briefings
• Support business operations across strategic initiatives and special projects

Marketing & Social Media

• Support marketing strategy and brand growth, especially across LinkedIn and digital platforms
• Develop content for social media, newsletters, and marketing campaigns
• Conduct competitor, audience, and industry research to inform marketing plans
• Assist with website content updates and basic SEO improvements

Business Development (B2B)

• Conduct research on prospective clients, partners, and industry trends
• Assist with lead generation, outreach messaging, and CRM updates
• Support preparation of pitch decks, capability materials, and proposal content

Who We Are Looking For

This internship is best suited for students or recent grads who are:

• Majoring (or interested) in Business, Marketing, Communications, PR, or Entrepreneurship
• Strong communicators with excellent writing skills
• Organized, proactive, and resourceful self-starters
• Interested in tech, innovation, consulting, and business growth
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

Bonus skills (not required): Canva/Adobe tools, social media marketing, HubSpot/CRM familiarity, event planning, basic WordPress/website editing.

Why This Internship Is Different

Unlike typical internships, you will:

✔ Work directly with the CEO and SVP—gaining high-level exposure

✔ Be trusted with meaningful work that impacts brand and business growth

✔ Build real portfolio projects you can showcase to future employers

✔ Gain experience across multiple business functions, not just one

This role is ideal for someone who aspires to be a future business leader, marketer, founder, or chief of staff.
