We've built a culture rooted in our Core Values, where innovation thrives, work-life balance is respected, and career growth is always encouraged.

If you love solving puzzles, building new things, fixing what's broken, or pushing the boundaries of creativity, we encourage you to explore the details of this position below!

UNCOMN is seeking a Community & Events Intern to develop a simplified event operations playbook including checklists, templates, and workflow improvements to support repeatable event execution. To accomplish this, you will:
  • Support the planning and execution of in-person and virtual events that connect UNCOMN with Department of Defense and federal mission partners.
  • Assist with planning and coordination of UNCOMN events near Scott AFB, Hanscom AFB, and select industry conferences.
  • Support logistics such as registration lists, scheduling, invitations, materials preparation, and attendee coordination.
  • Assist in coordinating virtual or hybrid events including webinar logistics and communications.
  • Maintain and improve internal event planning checklists, templates, and repeatable processes.
  • Help track event participation and post-event follow-up activities.
  • Support preparation of presentation materials, attendee lists, and event briefs.
  • Assist the marketing and partnerships team with related outreach and communications.

  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, strong research and analytical skills, attention to detail, effective organization and time management, and a positive, eager-to-learn attitude.
  • Interest in event coordination, marketing, or business operations.

Preferred
  • Experience with student organizations or campus events.
  • Familiarity with webinar platforms and/or digital event tools.
  • Interest in federal government, defense, and/or technology consulting.
