Full Time or Part Time:

Part Time

Work Hours:

This is a flexible, hybrid position requiring a commitment of 15 to 20 hours per week. Although much of the work is asynchronous, meaningful learning occurs through in-person collaboration, meetings, and engagement with our team. Interns are expected to work from our Old Town Fairfax office two days per week, with scheduling coordinated around their class commitments. Our office is conveniently located near George Mason University’s Fairfax campus.

Job Description:

HC is seeking four interns to support client delivery and internal business operations. Interns will gain hands‑on experience across our core executive functions: delight our customers, run our business, care for our people, grow our company, modernize our processes, and protect our information. They will work with clients, collaborate with company leaders, conduct research, analyze information, improve processes, and help deliver measurable outcomes. Ideal candidates are college seniors graduating in May 2027 who are interested in careers supporting government agencies or the government contracting industry. This is a professional role. You will be responsible for achieving outcomes rather than working a traditional shift.

This position is initially designated as Intern; however, all interns will gain experience across multiple areas of the company. Assignments may evolve based on business needs, individual strengths, interests, and demonstrated performance. Placement in this specific role is not guaranteed for the entire internship.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support client delivery and internal projects; complete assigned tasks accurately, professionally, and on time.
• Conduct research, analyze information, and present clear findings and recommendations to company leaders.
• Collaborate with employees, clients, and fellow interns during meetings, working sessions, and activities.
• Help improve business processes, tools, templates, records, and internal operations.
• Demonstrate initiative, accountability, judgment, and respect for sensitive company and client information.
• Learn and apply HC’s BDaaS processes, tools, and templates to help clients build disciplined business development capabilities and achieve sustainable growth.
• Conduct market, customer, competitor, and opportunity research for commercial clients.
• Support client projects involving strategy, market entry, growth planning, and business development.
• Prepare presentations, reports, meeting notes, and other client deliverables.
• Participate in client meetings and track assigned actions, milestones, and outcomes.

Qualifications:

• Must be a US Citizen.
• Must have completed a minimum of 85 college credit hours at an accredited university.
• Strong research, writing, and organizational skills. Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel); familiarity with CRM tools a plus.
• Capable of applying models and frameworks to help solve complex challenges.
• Must be in the Fairfax local area.

Desired Skills and Abilities:

• Strong skills in presenting data visualizations and business infographics in PowerPoint.
• Previous experience with federal contracting and a base knowledge of defense and federal civilian agencies.
• Pursuing a degree in Information Technology, Cybersecurity, Cyber Security Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Interest in cybersecurity, government contracting, process improvement, and compliance frameworks.
• Basic understanding of networks, access controls, cloud systems, data protection, or Microsoft 365.
• Familiarity with CMMC, NIST, ISO standards, or SOC 2 is helpful but not required.

Schedule and Work Environment:

• 15 to 20 hours per week through a flexible, hybrid schedule combining in-office collaboration with asynchronous work. Your schedule will be largely driven by your individual supervisor.
• Schedule can be adjusted around school commitments.
• “Make Friends and Have Fun” is one of our core values. Expect to laugh and have fun.

Why Join Us?

• Gain hands‑on experience supporting real projects and advising C‑Suite leaders in multi‑million‑dollar firms.
• Develop practical skills in strategy, growth planning, market research, consulting, and business operations.
• Work directly with and learn from experienced executives, senior consultants, and subject matter experts.
• Have access and opportunity to demonstrate your capabilities to potential employers. We have a 100% placement rate with an average starting salary of $81,000.

Pay and Benefits:

• $20.00 per hour
• Multiple training opportunities and professional development activities provided throughout the internship.
