Startup Growth Intern

Growth Intern — Partnerships & Outreach

Paletté

About Paletté

Paletté is a VC backed fashion brand building something different — a curated shopping experience that puts style and community first. We're early-stage, fast-moving, and looking for someone who wants to grow with us.

The Role

We're looking for a driven Growth Intern to help us expand our reach through strategic partnerships and outreach. You'll work directly with the founding team, own real projects, and see the direct impact of your work — and your compensation reflects that.

This isn't a "make coffee and shadow someone" internship. You'll be building relationships, opening doors, and helping shape how Paletté shows up in the world.

What You'll Do

• Identify and reach out to potential brand partners, boutiques, and collaborators
• Support and post our social media to grow our shopper side
• Draft outreach emails, pitch decks, and partnership proposals
• Track outreach pipelines and follow up to close deals
• Research new opportunities — pop-ups, collabs, affiliate programs, press
• Work cross-functionally with the team on campaigns tied to partnerships

You're a Great Fit If You

• Have a genuine passion for fashion, retail, or brand-building
• Are a confident communicator — in writing and in conversation
• Love the hustle of outreach and aren't afraid of hearing "no"
• Are organized and can manage a pipeline without being micromanaged
• Have experience with Instagram, TikTok, or influencer culture (a plus)
• Are currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a college or university

Compensation

Performance-based pay — your earnings are tied to the partnerships and deals you close. High upside for someone who delivers.

Why Paletté

• Real ownership from day one
• Direct access to VC backed founders in SF
• Build your portfolio with tangible results
• Be part of something early and help shape it

Paletté is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building an inclusive team.
