By taking a three-tiered, holistic approach for evaluating security posture and ecosystems, GuidePoint enables some of the nation’s top organizations, such as Fortune 500 companies and U.S. government agencies, to identify threats, optimize resources and integrate best-fit solutions that mitigate risk.

Overview As part of the GPSU program, we are seeking a Cybersecurity Presales Intern to support GuidePoint Security's Heartland region. In this role, you will get hands-on experience in three core areas: certification and technical foundations, presales and client engagement, technical delivery and writing, and vendor knowledge. Experienced practitioners will mentor you directly on real work, not simulations.

You must be pursuing or have recently completed a Bachelor's degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a related field. We will also consider Associate's degree candidates who show self-study and lab work. Non-traditional backgrounds are welcome to apply, including career changers, military veterans, and self-taught candidates, as long as they show equivalent knowledge.

You will work with the Heartland presales team, shadowing senior consultants on client engagements and attending internal presales and delivery meetings to learn the business. This internship is a pathway to full-time employment. Candidates who show competence and cultural fit may receive a full-time offer, with a growth path to Pre-Sales Cybersecurity Technical Advisor and a long-term path toward CISSP-level certifications and senior advisory roles.
