Job description

Overview

Newform is a performance marketing agency that oversees ~100M/year in paid media spend for some of the fastest-growing tech and mobile brands. We help category disruptors scale paid social through a short-form, content-led approach. Our in-house creative team produces thousands of human-first ads every month, all designed to drive efficient, scalable growth for our clients. We sit at the intersection of creative, media, and technology—and we’re building systems to make performance marketing smarter, faster, and more scalable.

The Role

As a Business Development Intern, you’ll work directly with Newform’s leadership and sales team to support outbound sales, partnerships, and revenue expansion. This role is ideal for someone who wants hands-on exposure to how a high-growth agency acquires, qualifies, and closes clients.

You’ll help research prospects, support outreach efforts, prepare sales materials, and assist in managing the top of the funnel. This is not a “watch from the sidelines” internship—you’ll be embedded in real deals with billion dollar companies.

Research and identify potential clients across tech, mobile, and consumer brands
Build and maintain prospect lists using tools like LinkedIn, Apollo, HubSpot
Support outbound outreach efforts (email, LinkedIn, and warm intros)
Help prepare pitch decks, proposals, and sales materials
Assist in tracking leads, pipeline status, and deal notes in CRM tools
Sit in on sales calls and client meetings to learn discovery, positioning, and closing
Support partnerships, referrals, and special growth initiatives as needed

Requirements

Strong written and verbal communication skills
Highly organized with strong attention to detail
Comfortable working with data, spreadsheets, and basic analysis
Curious about startups, marketing, sales, and entrepreneurship
Self-starter mindset: proactive, reliable, and eager to learn
(Preferred) Prior experience in sales, marketing, consulting, or startups
(Preferred) Familiarity with paid social, digital marketing, or creator-led brands
