Business Development Intern

About Us

Hallmark Homecare helps seniors in the Austin community live their best lives by matching them with professional in-home caregivers. We're a mission-driven small business with deep roots in the Austin community.

About the Role

We're growing our referral network and looking for a motivated intern to help us build it. You'll work directly with our owner to identify and reach out to prospective referral partners — think medical professionals, senior living communities, elder law attorneys, and others who serve the same families we do. This is a real business development role with real impact.

What You'll Do

• Research and identify prospective referral partners across the Austin area
• Make outbound calls and send emails to prospects to introduce Hallmark and set appointments
• Help develop and refine outreach scripts and messaging
• Assist with marketing materials including flyers, branded content, and client gift campaigns
• Track outreach activity and help analyze what channels and messaging perform best
• Participate in weekly strategy sessions with our owner/operator

What We're Looking For

• Currently enrolled at UT Austin (business, communications, healthcare administration, social work, and liberal arts students are all great fits)
• Comfortable on the phone — warmth and confidence matter more than experience
• Organized, self-motivated, and reliable
• Genuinely interested in sales, marketing, entrepreneurship, or healthcare services

What You'll Walk Away With

• Hands-on experience building a B2B referral pipeline and creating a tangible business impact
• Quantifiable, demonstrated results for your resume
• Outbound sales and prospecting skills you can use anywhere
• A mentor who is invested in your growth
• A meaningful resume line and a strong professional reference
