Willis Johnson & Associates is seeking creative and motivated college Juniors and Seniors to join our Marketing and Business Development team for a Summer Internship in our Houston office.
This internship provides hands-on experience in digital marketing, content creation, and brand storytelling within a growing wealth management firm. Interns will work alongside experienced team members on meaningful projects that support the firm’s marketing strategy, business development efforts, and client communication initiatives.

Throughout the summer, interns will have opportunities to collaborate with team members across the firm, receive mentorship, and participate in company events and team building activities.
