About Us

Brilliant is one of the most respected and rapidly growing agencies working across consumer and lifestyle industries. With 25+ team members collaborating remotely across the U.S., we bring energy, creativity, and strategy to every brand we serve. We’ve been remote from day one and know how to blend flexibility with accountability, balancing a collaborative culture with professional growth.

What We Do:

Brilliant is in its second decade as a fully remote company and is one of the most respected agencies serving consumer lifestyle brands with a specific focus on products, brands, and services for families including baby and maternity, toys and games, tech, housewares, and food. 

The Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented, data-driven Business Development Data Research Intern to support our new business and data team. This internship is ideal for someone who thrives on structure, enjoys repetitive but meaningful tasks, and has an eye for accuracy in data collection. The primary responsibility will be sourcing, organizing, and maintaining large contact lists for lead generation, primarily using ZoomInfo, Google Workspace, AirTable, and HubSpot tools.

This is not a PR or social media internship but rather a behind-the-scenes role supporting the growth of our agency by ensuring our business development team has the data they need to pursue new opportunities.

What You’ll Do

  • Source and compile large volumes of prospective contacts and companies from ZoomInfo to build lead generation lists.
  • Organize, clean, and maintain data sets using Google Sheets, Google Docs, ZoomInfo, Airtable, and HubSpot.
  • Support list segmentation and ensure accuracy of information for outreach campaigns.
  • Assist with simple Airtable and Google Drive database tasks (bonus if you have prior experience).
  • Provide additional support on repetitive or detail-heavy tasks as assigned to keep our business development engine running smoothly.

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Comfort with repetitive, process-driven work.
  • Proficiency with Google Workspace (Sheets and Docs required).
  • Interest in business development, data management, or operations.
  • Bonus: familiarity with AirTable, HubSpot, ZoomInfo, or similar database/IT tools.
  • Professional communication skills and responsiveness in a remote environment.
  • A rising sophomore, junior, or senior with a 3.0 GPA or higher.

Logistics

  • 15 hours per week during standard business hours (flexible scheduling available).
  • Remote internship.
  • Eligible for college credit; a monthly $250 reimbursement is provided for use of personal computer, phone, and internet.
  • Internship term is 6 months, with the possibility of extension based on supervisor approval.
