At RapidDeploy, a Motorola Solutions Company, interns are empowered with real responsibilities, unparalleled learning opportunities, and the chance to make a meaningful impact on public safety technology and every day citizens’ lives. Whether you’re interested in marketing, sales, engineering, or operations, being an intern offers an immersive experience where every task or project aligns with our powerful mission: to help save lives by reducing emergency response times.
Here’s a glimpse into what it’s like to be part of the RapidDeploy team from the perspectives of our past and present interns.
Interns at RapidDeploy step into roles that stretch their skills but also offer invaluable real-world experience.
Catie (Video Production Intern, Fall 2019):
As a Video Production Intern on the marketing team, Catie created the founders’ origin story video, which remains on our website today. Her responsibilities extended across social media, campaign planning, and even setting up the new office. “It was a fast-paced environment, and I loved being trusted with important projects. I learned that I could trust my instincts and take on meaningful work.” She later joined the marketing team full-time and now serves as a Marketing Manager.
Jacob (Partnerships, Marketing & Sales Operations Intern, Fall 2022):
Jacob’s internship spanned three departments—Partnerships, Marketing, and Sales Operations—where he played a crucial role in organizing partnerships, event planning, and managing HubSpot, our company’s customer relationship management (CRM) tool. “The internship emphasized growth just as much as output, allowing me to evolve as a professional.” He now works full-time in Sales Operations at RapidDeploy.
Stefan (Power BI & Data Visualization Intern, Summer 2022):
As a part of the Eclipse Analytics product team, Stefan assisted Power BI Engineers with report building and onboarding new public safety agencies. “The entire process taught me so much and gave me a lot of personal satisfaction knowing that we had helped another county or state save lives.”
Naledi (Quality Assurance Engineering Intern, Fall 2022):
Naledi worked on testing the Radius Mapping platform and later expanded to testing the Lightning Mobile app. “I had the opportunity to contribute to key platform developments, and I take pride in knowing I helped shape what Radius v5 is today.”
Lauren (Marketing Intern, Summer and Fall 2024, Spring 2025):
Lauren’s role in marketing has included managing social media, event planning, and email marketing. “My favorite project so far was contributing to the APCO Scavenger Hunt, which helped us make connections with over 90 new people for our prospecting efforts. It was amazing to see my work deliver real results.”
RapidDeploy’s mission and culture stood out to all our interns.
Catie: "I wanted to do work that matters, and RapidDeploy’s mission to transform public safety made it an easy decision. What stood out was how the company fosters a strong sense of community, like renting a campground for team bonding. It showed me the importance of our mission and made RapidDeploy a truly special place to grow."
Jacob: “The hybrid work environment and growth opportunities were a huge draw, but what sealed the deal was RapidDeploy’s focus on professional development. You will not find a more supportive environment that will push you to learn and be the best professional version of yourself.”
Stefan: “I wanted to transition into the IT sector, and the upskilling possibilities RapidDeploy offered made it an easy choice.”
Interns at RapidDeploy leave with more than just technical skills—they gain confidence and a sense of purpose, positioning themselves for future success in their chosen fields.
Catie: “The most valuable thing I learned was to trust myself. Being empowered to take the lead on projects like the company’s origin story video gave me the confidence to pursue creative work.”
Jacob: “I learned the importance of being coachable and comfortable with making mistakes. Growth comes from those learning moments, and the mentors here supported me every step of the way.”
Naledi: “I learned how to be a reliable teammate and gained a deeper understanding of teamwork and collaboration.”
Mentorship at RapidDeploy is more than guidance—it’s a partnership in growth, networking, and building a strong foundation for the future.
Stefan: “I had incredible mentors who helped me transition into a professional setting and ensured I was always set up for success.”
Jacob: “My mentors were the crown jewel of my internship. They championed my growth and encouraged me to take on challenges I didn’t think I could handle.”
Lauren: “Weekly meetings with our VP of Marketing and regular check-ins with my team ensured I was aligned with goals and always supported.”
Wondering if RapidDeploy is the right place to kick-start your career? Our interns have one piece of advice: go for it, take the leap!
Catie: “Apply! RapidDeploy will challenge and support you in equal measure. You’ll grow in ways you didn’t think possible.”
Jacob: “Stop hesitating—this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity. You’ll learn more here in a few months than you could anywhere else.”
Naledi: “If you want to make an impact in the world but don’t know how, this is the company for you.”
For many interns, RapidDeploy becomes more than a steppingstone—it’s the start of a fulfilling career.
Catie: After moving to California post-internship, she returned to RapidDeploy as Marketing Manager, inspired by the company’s growth and vision. Her internship taught her to take ownership of projects and adapt quickly, skills that proved essential in her full-time role.
Jacob: Now approaching his one-year anniversary as a full-time employee, Jacob continues to grow in Sales Operations, driving impactful initiatives across departments. The diverse experiences during his internship prepared him to tackle challenges with confidence and work collaboratively across teams.
Stefan: He has had the opportunity to work on many different platforms and learn new skills that will benefit him anywhere he goes in his career. Stefan’s career has evolved so much and he now calls RapidDeploy his “second home.”
