What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Development Internship (Paid) - Spring 2019 position at 100watt?
Company Description
100watt is a fast-paced, early-stage tech startup accelerator based in downtown Winston-Salem, NC, and we’re building a team to launch several new companies that will help make this city the next Silicon Valley. To do this, we’ll need some sharp, hard-working, and quick-learning college students (and recent grads) to join us. If that sounds like you, read on.
Job Description
100watt is looking to bring on a few rockstar business development interns for our spring 2019 internship program. It’s game time this spring. This means you’ll be helping us to discover the best new ideas for startups, run experiments to see how successful they can be, and then launch them like a rocket to the moon. Because you’re joining us early, you’ll be working and learning directly alongside our CEO and COO on all aspects of startup operations including business strategy, product management, digital marketing, web design and analytics, sales, and customer success. Best of all, there is no experience required--you’ll learn everything you need to know as we grow the company together.
Qualifications
The most important qualifications are that you're hardworking and can learn quickly. We can train you to do most tasks as long as you exhibit those traits. Ideally, we're looking for college students (or recent grads) who are interested in entrepreneurship and technology startups. That way, you can take away some valuable information from this experience. Here are some good guidelines:
You are currently enrolled as an undergraduate student or you are a recent college grad.
You can work at least 15-20 hours per week.
You have an affinity and aptitude for communications, both oral and written.
You're upbeat with a sunny disposition.
You like to make strangers smile.
You enjoy Mellow Mushroom. (Feel free to mention your go-to order on your application.)
You want to build something cool.
Additional Information
100watt is scaling aggressively. We’re on our way to the top and you'll be catching us early. If you kick ass, opportunities will open up for you. Most importantly, though, you'll learn skills here that you won't learn anywhere else. Our internship program is known for developing incredible leaders, and if you're interested in working at a startup, then there's no better place to be than 100watt. No better time, either, as you'll get to experience a phase of rapid growth.
You'll get to work in our awesome downtown Winston-Salem office, too. We offer all the usual startup perks (stocked fridge, good music, fun culture, etc.), but we'd rather entice you by the opportunity to work with a great company. If you're up for a ride, we look forward to your application.
