Listeners, if you have been keeping an eye on the Raleigh-Durham job market, this week has brought a wave of intriguing opportunities across sectors. Hot off the presses on the state employment front, the North Carolina Department of Administration’s Division of Purchase & Contract is seeking an intern in Raleigh, offering a hybrid work schedule and a competitive wage of $20 per hour. The position, posted by the National Association of State Procurement Officials, runs from June next summer through April 2027 and is located right in downtown Raleigh. This role is an exceptional launching pad for anyone interested in state procurement or public administration experience.

For listeners pursuing marketing or digital communications, Maytech Global Investments highlighted a marketing internship just this week, focusing on building digital strategy and content within the financial service industry. If flexibility is key, some positions even offer hybrid or partly remote work arrangements. These are excellent stepping stones for those looking to break into Raleigh-Durham’s rapidly growing tech and communications sectors.

Legal and compliance roles are also making a strong showing this week. Legal Buddy LLC rolled out a call for “Campus Ambassadors” in its legal tech division, a paid internship designed with college students in mind. The program aims to connect students to local attorneys and could be particularly valuable for undergraduates eyeing law or community engagement. Furthermore, the sector sees demand for compliance and data-minded candidates: positions at both Stifel and Epiroc, though headquartered out of state, are open to remote work and offer hands-on experience for compliance in AI and legal frameworks.

Public health and nonprofit roles are creating notable buzz as well. The Men's Health Network is looking for a public health intern, with emphasis on health education and community outreach. These experiential learning opportunities cater to driven individuals committed to community health—a theme that’s increasingly important to the region.

For government, civic, and research enthusiasts, NASPO’s procurement internship stands out, while the Council for Court Excellence and the Cato Institute are seeking research-focused interns in policy and justice. Both roles offer real-world exposure, mentorship, and the chance to develop policy-oriented writing and analytical skills.

It is also worth mentioning the continued presence of hands-on and event-specific jobs, such as seasonal positions at area churches and nonprofits, overlapping with the fall festival and event season in Raleigh and Durham as reported by Triangle on the Cheap and Discover Durham. This overlap creates openings for part-time, event-focused work perfect for listeners seeking side gigs or looking to expand their resumes with customer service or event management experience.

To recap, this past week Raleigh-Durham has seen new postings in public administration, digital marketing, legal tech, compliance, public health, and hands-on event roles. Whether listeners are entering college, upskilling mid-career, or seeking a career change, the Triangle’s employment landscape this week is open for business—and ready for your next move.
