Business Development Coordinator (Part-Time/Paid Intern)

Job Title: Business Development & Partnerships Coordinator

Company: VenturePR

Location: Beverly Hills, CA (Remote — based in Orange County preferred)

Job Type: Part-Time / Internship

Pay: $22-25/hour, 15-20 hours/week

About VenturePR: VenturePR is a Beverly Hills-based boutique communications agency specializing in PR for funded startups and consumer technology brands. We work with AI companies, SaaS platforms, consumer electronics brands, and Series A and B companies across the US and internationally. We're a small, high-performing team with big-name clients and a founder who has built and exited multiple companies including a $3.75M ARR exit and 11 years at IBM.

The Role: We're looking for a sharp, self-directed part-time coordinator to help drive business development and relationship outreach for the agency. This is not a cold-calling job. It's a research, relationship, and coordination role — helping us stay connected with past clients, warm prospects, VC contacts, and potential partners in a systematic and thoughtful way.

You'll work closely with the founder and will be given real responsibility from day one. If you're great at this, there is a path to a full-time role.

What You'll Do:

• Research and prepare briefing notes before relationship calls with VCs, founders, and industry contacts
• Draft outreach messages and follow-up notes on behalf of the founder for warm relationship conversations
• Track and maintain our relationship pipeline in HubSpot CRM
• Coordinate scheduling and follow-through across multiple outreach tracks simultaneously
• Support instructor and partnership outreach for a new AI platform we're building alongside the agency
• Monitor LinkedIn for relevant conversations, funding announcements, and engagement opportunities
• Occasional research projects on prospective clients, competitive landscape, and market trends

Who You Are:

• Strong writer — you can draft a professional, warm, specific outreach message without being told exactly what to say
• Self-directed — you don't need to be micromanaged to get things done
• Genuinely curious about technology, startups, and business
• Comfortable working remotely and communicating asynchronously across time zones
• Interested in communications, PR, business development, or venture capital as a career path
• Bonus: Experience or interest in AI, consumer technology, or early-stage startups

What You'll Get:

• $22-25/hour depending on experience, 15-20 hours/week
• Title: Director of Strategic Partnerships (this is real — you'll use it in outreach and on your LinkedIn)
• Direct access to a founder with multiple company exits and deep experience in enterprise tech, PR, and AI
• Exposure to VC relationships, funded startup clients, and the communications industry
• Flexible hours — we care about output, not when you work
• Potential to grow into a full-time role if the fit is right

To Apply: Send a brief note — not a formal cover letter — telling us why this specific role interests you and one example of a time you managed a relationship or communication process that required initiative and follow-through. Include your resume and linkedin profile.
