Sales & Marketing Intern
Sales & Marketing Intern - NOOISH
Want to build something from the ground up? Join a fast-growing food startup that's been featured on The Drew Barrymore Show, in The New York Times, Food & Wine, and more—and gain hands-on experience you won't find at a corporate internship.
About NOOISH
We've gone from a kitchen experiment to national media attention in record time. NOOISH is a Columbus-based company bringing modern Jewish food to the masses—starting with the world's first instant matzo ball soup (just add water!). We're passionate about bringing joy and tradition to people's tables, and we're scaling fast.
This isn't a "get coffee and sit in on meetings" internship. You'll own real projects, work directly with our founder, and see the immediate impact of your work on a growing brand.
Why This Internship is Different
You'll work directly with our founder. No bureaucracy, no layers of management. You'll gain insider knowledge of building a CPG brand from someone who's actually done it—from product development to getting on retail shelves to landing national media.
Your work matters immediately. The sales pitches you write? They'll go to real prospects. The social content you create? It'll reach thousands of people. The accounts you help land? They'll put our product in stores. You'll see the direct results of your efforts, not just add to some corporate deck.
This is a startup. You'll wear multiple hats, move fast, and have real responsibility. If you want to learn by doing (not by watching), this is for you.
What You'll Actually Learn
- How to launch and scale a consumer product from scratch to shelf
- Real sales strategy—building pipelines, crafting pitches, and closing deals
- Content creation that drives actual revenue and engagement (not vanity metrics)
- How to market to both DTC consumers and retail buyers
- What it takes to build a brand in a competitive industry

The Reality Check
This is a startup internship with startup compensation. We're offering a modest stipend because we're reinvesting in growth. What we can't offer in salary, we make up for in experience, mentorship, and responsibility. If you're optimizing for immediate pay, we're not the right fit. If you're optimizing for learning and building something real, let's talk.
Details
Location: Columbus, Ohio (hybrid/flexible options available)
Commitment: 10 hours per week
Compensation: $15/hr
