BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT INTERN JOB DESCRIPTION

A Business Development Intern enters an organization without a defined territory and leaves with a functioning pipeline. The role spans cold outreach and prospect qualification on one end, competitive market research on the other, two activities that demand precision but reward speed. Most internships in BD place the candidate inside the revenue generation function, typically supporting a team of representatives or managers working B2B accounts, partnerships, or new-market entry. What makes this seat distinct from an adjacent Sales Intern or Marketing Intern is ownership of the full prospecting workflow: identifying leads, researching accounts, building contact lists, and handing off qualified opportunities to senior team members. 

As the Business Development Intern, you support the identification and qualification of new business opportunities, working alongside BD managers and account teams to move prospects through the early stages of the sales pipeline. You report to a Business Development Manager or Director and collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Operations to execute research projects, build outbound contact lists, and maintain CRM data integrity. 

Career Impact: Hands-on exposure to the full B2B prospecting cycle, from cold outreach to qualified handoff, builds a concrete foundation for a future Business Development Representative or Account Executive role. 

Business Impact: The quality of your market research and lead qualification directly determines the volume and accuracy of the pipeline your team works, affecting conversion rates across the organization's revenue targets. 

Growth Opportunity: Interns who demonstrate strong analytical output and CRM discipline often transition into full-time BD Representative roles, with expanded account ownership and commission eligibility. 

• Research target accounts and compile contact lists of key decision-makers across assigned market segments. 
• Conduct competitive analysis and market trend monitoring to surface new business opportunities for the BD team. 
• Qualify prospective leads via outbound calls and email outreach, assessing fit against defined criteria. 
• Maintain and update CRM records with accurate prospect data, notes, and opportunity status. 
• Collaborate with Sales and Marketing teams to develop prospecting materials including email templates and presentation decks. 
• Support senior BD managers in preparing client-facing proposals, pitch decks, and capability statements. 
• Analyze campaign and outreach performance data to generate reports for leadership review. 
• Assist in coordinating BD events, conferences, and networking activities to support pipeline generation. 

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Economics, Communications, or equivalent work experience. 
• 1 or more years of internship, coursework project, or professional experience in a sales, marketing, or business development support role. 
• Demonstrated ability to conduct structured market research and synthesize findings into clear summaries. 
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience drafting professional correspondence and presentations. 
• Proficiency in productivity and presentation software sufficient to format proposals and data reports. 
• Proven organizational skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks against tight deadlines. 
• Familiarity with CRM platforms and basic understanding of sales pipeline management workflows. 
• Demonstrated analytical thinking and problem-solving skills applied to business or market contexts. 

• Prior experience with outbound lead generation methods such as cold calling, email sequencing, or LinkedIn prospecting. 
• Exposure to B2B sales environments, account management, or partnership development in a professional setting. 
• Experience building financial models, P&L summaries, or investment case materials to support business decisions. 
• Proficiency in a second language relevant to target markets, particularly Spanish, French, German, or Mandarin. 

• Qualified leads generated per week, measuring outbound prospecting activity volume and conversion rate. 
• CRM data accuracy rate, reflecting completeness and timeliness of record updates across assigned accounts. 
• Proposal and collateral turnaround time, measuring responsiveness to BD manager requests. 
• Outreach response rate, tracking engagement from cold email and call campaigns against team benchmarks. 
• Research deliverable completion rate, measuring on-time submission of market analysis and competitor reports. 
• Typical tools: CRM platforms (commonly Salesforce or HubSpot); productivity suites (commonly Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace) 

• Base Salary Range: $17–$22/hour, or $40,000–$50,000 annualized for full-time internship conversion 
• Bonus: Performance-based stipend or conversion bonus upon full-time offer; rare at intern level 
• Equity: Not typical for internship roles; may apply upon full-time conversion at early-stage startups 
• Health Benefits: Often not provided at intern level; available if converted to full-time employment 
• PTO: 5–10 days or accrual-based; varies by program length and employer policy 
• Common Perks: Mentorship from senior BD staff, networking event access, professional development stipends
