Job description

BrightTower is a New York investment bank specializing in mergers and acquisitions (M&A). We advise software and tech-enabled services companies, including marketing, IT and information services businesses, through one of the biggest moments a company can have: their sale.

We’re seeking a highly motivated Marketing and Business Development Intern to join our seasoned Development team for Summer 2027. Because we’re a boutique firm, you’ll work directly with senior executives on the marketing and business development initiatives that win new clients. Along the way, you’ll get something rare for a marketing student: an inside look at how an investment bank operates day to day.

We’ll count on you to communicate and present with clarity and build strong working relationships across the firm. In return, you’ll gain hands-on experience, regular mentorship and professional development opportunities, plus a competitive salary and the chance to earn a full-time return offer as a Marketing and Business Development Coordinator.

*Please Note: This is a marketing and business development role - not an Analyst track.*

What you’ll do here:

• Create external marketing materials that showcase the firm across channels
• Produce high-quality deliverables for internal stakeholders and prospective clients
• Plan and execute thought leadership events such as virtual roundtables and networking dinners
• Help plan our annual executive conference, from creative branding and design to venue and vendor logistics, attendee tracking and communications
• Identify, track and nurture prospective clients and investors across our sector coverage
• Conduct in-depth research on industry trends, precedent M&A transactions and specific companies and investors
• Maintain internal databases tracking company information, transaction data and deal management workflow

Who we’re looking for:

• Rising senior as of Summer 2027 at a full-time university
• 3.5+ GPA
• Demonstrated interest in financial services, professional services or B2B marketing
• Proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
• Excellent analytical and communication skills with attention to detail
• Integrity, sound judgment, proactivity and an eagerness to learn
• Strong desire to join a team-oriented entrepreneurial culture

Location:

New York City
