Job description

The German American Chamber of Commerce of the Southern United States (GACC South) is looking for a full-time Marketing & Events Intern to support our Carolina operations, based in North and South Carolina.

This is a 12-month, full-time, paid internship starting in July 2026. You will work closely with our Membership, Events, and Communications team, with a strong focus on supporting activities across the Carolina region.

This is a hands-on, operational role. You will be involved in planning and executing business events, supporting member engagement, and contributing to marketing and outreach efforts. If you want to understand how an international business network operates in practice, this role offers direct exposure to day-to-day operations.

The intern reports to the Department Director and the Carolina Regional Manager. The role supports operations across North and South Carolinas and requires close coordination with colleagues across the region. Occasional travel within the region, along with evening and occasional weekend availability for events, is expected.

What you will work on

  • Support the planning and execution of business events, from preparation to on-site coordination (including registration, setup, and engaging with attendees during networking) through to post-event follow-up
  • Maintain and update member and event data in our CRM system (GlueUp)
  • Assist with member communication and engagement efforts, including outreach and follow-ups
  • Contribute to marketing materials such as event pages, newsletters, sponsorship documents, and email campaigns
  • Support day-to-day office and business services, including client interactions and administrative tasks
  • Help track participation, feedback, and basic performance metrics for events and membership activities

What this role is really about

This role sits at the center of what we do. Events drive engagement. Membership drives relationships. Marketing supports both.

You will not just “assist,” you will be part of the execution. That means interacting with companies, supporting real business conversations, and seeing how partnerships are built and maintained.

What we are looking for

  • Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Business, Marketing, Event Management, or a related field
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks at once
  • Clear communication skills and a professional, service-oriented mindset
  • Comfortable interacting with business professionals in different settings
  • Reliable and able to work independently when needed
  • Detail-oriented and structured in your work approach
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office
  • Valid driver's license
  • Strong written and spoken English
  • Based in North or South Carolina

Nice to have

  • First experience with events, customer-facing roles, or project coordination
  • Familiarity with tools like CRM systems and Canva
  • German language skills

What we offer

  • $15/hour (non-exempt)
  • 20 days of paid vacation, plus sick leave and 12 paid holidays
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Employer-paid life and long-term disability insurance
  • Access to a 401(k) plan

Start Date

July 2026

Location

North/South Carolina
