Business Development & Communications Intern

Description

 **Immediate Start: Part-time (~10 hours/week); Summer: Full-time (~30 hours/week); Fall: Part-time (flexible)

Key Responsibilities 

• Business Development Operations: Manage the corporate BD calendar, including tracking industry symposiums, government contracting events, and networking opportunities to ensure the leadership team is positioned in the right rooms. 
• Digital Transformation: Lead the refresh and update of the corporate website. You will coordinate content, imagery, and messaging to ensure our digital footprint matches our high standards of service. 
• Social Media Management: Develop and execute a consistent social media strategy (primarily LinkedIn) to increase brand awareness and engagement within the industry. 
• General Operations Support: Assist the leadership team with administrative tasks, research projects, and proposal support as needed. 

Requirements

• Education: You are working towards a degree in Communications, Business or other similar field 
• Mission-Driven: You have an interest in supporting a Veteran-owned business and understand the value of discipline and professional initiative. 
• Drive: You want an internship where you can make meaningful contributions and expand your knowledge of the government contracting industry at a leading technology company. 
• Clear Communicator: You have a knack for writing professional, engaging content and aren't afraid to pick up the phone or send a networking email. 
• Detail-Oriented: You can manage a complex calendar without letting important deadlines slip through the cracks. 
• Creative: You are able to design social media and website content that engages the viewer and is consistent with the CPT brand.
