Summer 2026 Internship - Business Development

BCom is a fast-growing, digital-first marketing agency that amplifies purpose-driven ideas to create lasting impact. We partner with campaigns, causes, and brands to do work that matters in all digital and creative solutions. As we work toward ambitious growth goals, we want driven, strategic thinkers who are committed to doing great work and building something meaningful together.

As a Business Development Intern, you’ll gain hands-on experience inside the engine that drives agency growth. You’ll work closely with our Revenue Team, reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), and learn how new opportunities are identified, pursued, and turned into long-term client partnerships. You’ll support real pitches, contribute to research and proposal development, and sit in on live business development meetings to see strategy in action. This internship is ideal for someone interested in business development, consulting, marketing strategy, or agency operations who wants to learn by doing.

At BCom, we take pride in delivering top-tier work while showing up for each other. With our mission at the forefront, we center honesty, collaboration, and meaningful relationships in everything we do. If you’re looking to grow with a team rooted in purpose and committed to impact, we would like to meet you.

• Highly organized with strong time management skills
• Clear written and verbal communication skills

Primary Areas of Responsibility

As a Business Development Intern at BCom, you’ll support the day-to-day work that moves new opportunities from early research to active proposals. You’ll help the team stay organized, prepared, and informed throughout the business development process while gaining practical exposure to how agency growth happens behind the scenes.

In this role, you will:

• Research and identify prospective clients and organizations aligned with BCom’s services and mission
• Help qualify opportunities by gathering background information, funding details, and strategic context
• Support the tracking and organization of leads, outreach efforts, and pipeline activity
• Join business development and pitch meetings to take clear, structured, and actionable notes
• Summarize key takeaways, action items, and next steps for internal teams
• Assist in building pitch decks and proposal materials from outline to final formatting
• Conduct research and proofreading support for RFP responses
• Help maintain accurate opportunity records in our Asana-based CRM and internal systems
• Support light reporting on pipeline activity and outreach progress
• Provide coordination support that helps keep the business development process moving forward

By the end of this internship, you’ll gain direct experience in how agencies identify, qualify, and pursue new business opportunities, how pitch decks and RFP responses are developed from scratch, how CRM systems and internal workflows support revenue teams, how to capture clear and actionable meeting notes, and how leadership teams think about growth, prioritization, and strategy.

All successful applicants must align with BCom’s company values which include:

One boat, one mission. We row in the same direction to serve the mission of our company. Do good for our clients and for each other. Collaborate in a way that eases the workload and burden for everyone. Our collective effort is greater than the sum of its parts.

Win the tough fights. Outcomes matter. We keep our clients and their success and goals at the front of everything we do. Purpose-driven work is edgy, fast-paced and challenging. We fight to win every day. 

Be present. To win, you have to compete. To compete, you have to show up. We show up for our teammates, for our clients, and for our communities.

Relationships matter. We forge meaningful connections with our clients, our teammates, and the communities we serve — from our founding in rural America to the halls of the nation's capital.

Be honest. We tell the truth with our clients and with each other. We’re honest about our work and the way we do it. Honesty is easy – and convenient –  when things are working. It’s hard – but required – when things are tough.

This position can be remote or based in Lincoln, NE. 

Starting rate: $17/hr. All interns must have availability to work 20-30 hours per week with flexible scheduling to account for coursework and other commitments.
