Job description

If you're majoring in marketing and are interested in expanding your knowledge and experience, you can be successful in this role. We prefer it if you have previous internship-related experience and/or education but do not expect you to know everything about marketing. If you join the team, you will be trained on our processes and supported as you learn how to excel. BTW, if you have your undergraduate degree, congratulations! Rather than check out these internship positions, we encourage you to look at our many early-career opportunities.

We are actively reviewing candidates in Columbia, Missouri for Spring 2026.

About The Role:

We offer paid internships that provide you with an opportunity to make a difference. You'll also experience some of the perks of a full-time employee, such as personal and professional development, free snacks, casual dress code and company-wide social events. As an intern, you will have the opportunity to be hands‑on and gain experience applicable to your career goals. You'll be expected to take direction and incorporate feedback from your mentors and should proactively identify opportunities for you to support the team.

As an intern, you have the potential to be placed in one of these areas:

• Creative (Graphic Design, Copywriting, Photography, Web Design)
• Digital Marketing
• Lead Generation
• Marketing Automation
• Marketing Insights
• Organic Search
• Business Development

Here’s a snapshot of what you’d be doing:

• Helping with administrative tasks and keeping things organized.
• Learning the ins and outs of your department and how it fits into the mortgage industry.
• Pitching in wherever needed (excluding licensed tasks) to help foster a supportive and collaborative team culture.

About You:

• Details matter to you, and you’ve got an eye for catching the little things that make a big difference.
• You’re great at staying organized, managing your time, and keeping tasks on track.
• With a strong work ethic and a demonstrated ability to work well under pressure, you’re the type of person people trust to get things done.
• You love working as a part of a team.
• You’re comfortable with technology and can navigate basic computer systems with ease.

About Us:

We’re all about helping Veterans and military families become homeowners. In two short decades, we closed over 500,000 VA Loans and became the #1 VA lender for homebuyers in the nation. But to us, success isn’t measured in numbers. Our success is measured in living our values every day: Be Passionate and Have Fun, Deliver Results with Integrity and Enhance Lives Every Day. We always strive to provide friendly service to military homebuyers and their families. And we always seek to lift up people and communities across the country.

We’re so glad you’re here checking out this opportunity! If this role gets you excited but you’re worried you don’t check every box - don’t sweat it. We’re more interested in what you can bring to the team than a perfect checklist. If you’re passionate, driven, and ready to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you. Come as you are, and together we’ll create something amazing.
