Marketing And Business Development Intern

Organization: KC Connect

About KC Connect

At KC Connect, we believe the traditional "business card exchange" is broken. We’ve built a unique approach to business networking specifically designed for technology sales professionals in the Kansas City area. Our methodology is more effective, productive, and beneficial than any other form of networking because it focuses on high-level strategic partnerships and genuine value exchange.

We are looking for a motivated intern to help us expand our reach and support our community of tech leaders.

The Role

This isn't your typical "coffee-run" internship. You will be at the intersection of marketing, business development, and relationship management. You will work directly with technology sales pros and decision-makers, gaining a front-row seat to how high-level business deals are actually made.

What you’ll do

• Strategic Outreach: Identify and engage with technology professionals in fields like Cybersecurity, Network Administration, and AI.
• Content & Marketing: Assist in crafting the messaging that explains why our unique networking model outperforms traditional methods.
• Event Coordination: Help facilitate high-impact networking sessions and track engagement metrics.
• Relationship Building: Manage communications with our members to ensure they are getting maximum value from the KC Connect ecosystem.

Who You Are

We are looking for a hungry, tech-savvy student who is ready to build a professional network before they even graduate.

• Your Major: Currently pursuing a degree in Marketing, Sales, Business Administration, or a Technology field (Cybersecurity, CS, IT, etc.).
• The Connector: You enjoy meeting new people and have the "soft skills" required to navigate professional conversations.
• Tech-Interested: You don't need to be a coder, but you should be fascinated by the tech landscape (AI, Cloud, Security).
• The Optimizer: You’re someone who looks at a process and thinks, "How can we make this more effective?"

Why Join Us?

• Unrivaled Access: You will foster relationships with KC’s top tech sales professionals—the very people who will be hiring for lucrative roles when you graduate.
• Real-World Insights: Gain a deep understanding of the "hidden" job market and the world of B2B technology sales.
• Mentorship: Work directly with founders and leaders who are invested in your professional growth.
• Flexibility: We offer a hybrid environment that respects your class schedule.
