Events & Marketing Intern

Who We Are

Tempest helps destination organizations be powerful assets for their community. We do this by creating websites that locals can be proud of, providing cloud software that strengthens relationships, and marketing programs that create positive impact.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for an organized, detail-oriented Events & Marketing Intern to join our team for the Spring 2027 semester (January through May) and support the planning and execution of Tempest's industry event and marketing activities.

In this role, you will report to the Events & Marketing Manager with additional support from the Director of Growth Marketing. You will work alongside our Growth Marketing team to help plan and operate Tempest's 2027 Tourism Academy conference, coordinate our presence at industry tradeshows, and support the marketing initiatives that surround them.

You are someone who enjoys organizing the moving pieces behind a great event, communicating clearly with vendors and partners, and learning how marketing and event operations come together to support a growing business. You are comfortable juggling multiple tasks, following through on details, and collaborating with teammates across departments.

This is an ideal opportunity for a student or early-career professional interested in marketing and event operations, particularly within the hospitality, travel, and tourism industries. If you are excited about learning the inner workings of a national industry conference, building relationships with venues and sponsors, and contributing to a collaborative team, this role may be a great fit.
