Job Description:
SpotHopper is hiring Business Development Interns (BDI) for both part-time and full-time positions. This role begins with an 8-10 week extended training period, after which successful interns will transition to a full Business Development Representative (BDR) role.

• Receive mentorship and guidance from experienced Account Executives.
• Develop valuable knowledge of a successful tech and marketing startup’s inner workings.
• Research restaurants in various markets to identify potential clients who would benefit most from SpotHopper’s solutions.
• BDIs perform all the same job duties as a full BDR, but at a reduced rate during the training period to allow for learning the role and product.
Compensation and Benefits:
• Part-time or Full-time: Flexible hours, Monday-Friday (minimum 15, maximum 40 hours per week).
• Intern (BDI): $20 per hour base + an average of $5 in commission per hour.
