Position Title: Corporate Intern

Location: Alexandria, VA On site

Schedule: Part-time, approximately 20 hours per week; paid hourly. Schedule is flexible around class hours, Monday through Friday during standard business hours.

Clearance: None required. Must be a U.S. citizen and able to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Summary: The Corporate Intern provides hands-on support to OneZero's contracts and finance functions. This role is built for a student who wants real exposure to how a government contracting business runs behind the scenes - the contract lifecycle from intake through signature, and the accounting rhythms of timesheets, receivables, payables, and reconciliations. The intern will maintain contract records, prepare draft agreements from approved templates, shepherd documents through electronic signature, and assist the finance team with recurring cycles and month-end support. Success in this role looks like accuracy, follow-through, and discretion: the intern will handle sensitive commercial and financial information and is expected to treat it accordingly.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

Contracts Administration Support:

• Organize and maintain contract files and the contract register, keeping records complete, current, and easy to retrieve
• Track contract options, period-of-performance expirations, and recurring reporting due dates; flag upcoming deadlines to the Contracts Manager
• Review incoming contract requests for completeness and required approvals before they move forward for processing
• Prepare contract and agreement drafts from approved company templates and standard intake information
• Prepare non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) from approved templates and track them through execution
• Produce clean and redlined document versions and run document comparisons to confirm negotiated changes are captured accurately
• Route documents for electronic signature and follow up with internal and external parties until execution is complete
• Collect and organize onboarding documentation from subcontractors and consultants, confirming required forms and certifications are on file

Finance and Accounting Support:

• Issue timesheet reminders and confirm all timesheets are entered and approved on the biweekly cycle (every other Monday)
• Support timesheet reconciliation, researching and resolving discrepancies with employees and managers
• Assist with accounts receivable collections, including invoice follow-up, aging review, and documentation of customer communications
• Perform accounts payable entry with an emphasis on 1099 vendors, consultants, and subcontractors
• Support bank reconciliations by matching transactions, identifying variances, and compiling supporting documentation
• Process incoming and outgoing corporate mail, including scanning, distribution, and filing

General Corporate Support:

• Maintain organized electronic filing structures and consistent document naming conventions
• Prepare status trackers and summaries for contracts and finance leadership
• Handle confidential contractual, financial, and personnel information with discretion
• Perform other administrative and project-based duties as assigned

Qualifications:

Education and Experience:

• Currently enrolled undergraduate student pursuing a degree in business administration, finance, accounting, legal studies, paralegal studies, contract management, or a related field
• Junior or senior standing preferred; rising sophomores with relevant coursework or experience will be considered
• Coursework or prior internship exposure to contracts, procurement, accounting, or bookkeeping is a plus
• Familiarity with government contracting concepts (prime and subcontract relationships, period of performance, contract options) is desirable but not required
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, particularly Word (track changes, document compare) and Excel (sorting, filtering, basic formulas)
• Exposure to electronic signature platforms (DocuSign, Adobe Sign) or accounting/timekeeping systems (QuickBooks, Unanet, Deltek) is a plus

Skills and Abilities:

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy when working with documents, dates, and numbers
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including professional follow-up with internal and external parties
• Strong organizational and time management skills; able to track multiple recurring deadlines without prompting
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team, and to ask questions when something looks wrong
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and exercise discretion with sensitive business information
• Dependable and consistent attendance, particularly around biweekly payroll and month-end close cycles

Work Environment:

This is an onsite position in Alexandria, VA. The role is performed in a professional office environment using standard office equipment. Reliable transportation to the Alexandria office is required.
