Business Development (Internship)

The mission of Givebutter is Eat. Sleep. Give. We aim to make giving a part everyone’s lives by providing the best possible fundraising experience online. Today, thousands of student organizations across the country use Givebutter to fundraise for every cause imaginable.

Overview

We are seeking a hard-working Business Development Intern to join our passionate Business Development Team for a minimum of 4 months (start date flexible, 20+ hrs/week). The Givebutter.com website was built from scratch by the company's co-founders, and has grown organically with no outside investment or marketing budget. Our campus ambassador program has been a major component of this growth, supplemented by strategic partnerships with large nonprofits - both of which we are trying to expand. You will have the opportunity to work alongside and learn from some of the brightest young minds in the startup world, while gaining invaluable experience and insight for your personal growth and professional development. This position will report directly to Max Friedman, the company's CEO and Co-Founder who is based out of our Washington D.C. headquarters (Please note: We are accepting remote applications).

• Work: Once the work begins, we'll discuss the project you are tackling and ensure you are well-equipped to solve the next objectives at hand
