Having hands-on business experience on your resume will help you stand out from others during job interviews. This remote business development internship out of Jamaica will enable you to develop new skills and experience in real-life entrepreneurial business situations, working with business owners who really value the input of interns. This is an internship where you’ll really make a difference!

Business marketing interns are placed with a variety of local businesses that have requested help from a business support initiative to grow and strengthen their operations. Businesses are in a range of industries, and business owners often have little experience. Interns with a marketing, strategy or business development background are particularly valued.

You will play a hands-on role in supporting your placement company, helping identify and solve specific business problems, putting forward solutions and action plans to best tackle the marketing challenges and growth opportunities the business faces. This offers the unique opportunity for you to carry out business analytics, identifying areas of weakness and new opportunities for growth, and then working with the local business owner to implement your recommendations.

Due to the nature of this internship, the specifics of your role can vary largely. For example, brand establishment activities can involve labelling, logos, slogans and advertising.

Depending on your experience and strengths, you may invest more time in some aspects of marketing than others. If you have more strength in advertising, compared to design work, you may assist with copywriting, the establishment of sales relationships, the identification of business strengths, weaknesses and product or market diversification opportunities, etc.

This is a perfect internship for those interested in business startups and small business marketing, as interns can be given the autonomy often only given to seasoned marketers and business developers. You’ll be challenged with specific problem-solving requirements, and required to consider local business norms in Jamaica in the solutions you provide.
