Getting together with real people in real life makes powerful things happen. Side hustles become careers, ideas become movements, and chance encounters become lifelong connections. Meetup brings people together to create thriving communities. Show up. Change lives.
We’re looking for a Business Development Intern to help us create new ways of partnering with other companies to drive key ecosystem growth metrics at Meetup. If you're someone who is passionate about project management, research, strategy, planning, and collaborating with teams to bring partnerships to life in a fast-paced environment, then this may be the role for you.

- Create and manage outbound outreach to attract interest in various initiatives using tools including LinkedIn, Salesloft, and Salesforce
- Write emails to prospects and partners to drive conversations forward
- Be the point person for cross-functional efforts (e.g. marketing, product, engineering)
- Be autonomous. You'll take full ownership of your work and you take responsibility for every detail each step of the way
- Communicate clearly to present your work at different stages
- Ability to think long- and short-term to move partnerships forward as they grow in scale and scope
