Marketing Intern– B2B Tech Startup (Hybrid/Columbia)
HoundDog is a fast-growing B2B SaaS startup based in Columbia, MO. We build software that helps construction companies, property managers, and enterprise businesses stay compliant with their vendors and subcontractors… automating the collection of COIs (Certificates of Insurance), W-9s, and subcontractor agreements.
We’re a scrappy team with real customers, real revenue, and real momentum. This isn’t a "get coffee and sit in meetings" internship… you’ll have direct ownership, your work will ship to real audiences, and you’ll leave with tangible portfolio pieces.
WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
- Content & SEO: Writing blog posts, landing pages, and customer case studies that rank and convert.
- Social & Community: Managing and growing HoundDog’s social media presence with sharp, authentic content.
- Product Messaging: Helping shape how we speak to contractors, property managers, and enterprise buyers.
- Campaigns & Partnerships: Supporting email campaigns, customer newsletters, and channel partner support.
- Market Research: Digging into competitor positioning to help us sharpen our messaging.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Mizzou, Columbia College, or area student (Journalism/Strat Comm, Business, or Mass Comm preferred).
- Strong writer: Clear, concise, confident copy with zero corporate fluff.
- Curious about how marketing actually drives business revenue.
- Self-starter who takes initiative and doesn't need to be micromanaged.
- Bonus: Basic experience with SEO, email tools (Klaviyo/Mailchimp), social schedulers, or Canva.
WHY HOUNDDOG?
- Direct access and mentorship from the founder and core team.
- Flexible hours (~10–20 hrs/week) built around your class and exam schedules.
- Front-row seat to what building and scaling a real SaaS company looks like.
- Real portfolio pieces… your work gets published, not filed away.
