## About Veridial

Veridial is an early-stage AI technology startup building innovative tools that help churches, pastors, and ministry organizations turn sermons into valuable resources, including video highlights, discussion guides, seven-day devotionals, and interactive AI-powered experiences.

We're preparing to grow our customer base, develop partnerships, and bring our technology to churches across the country.

## The Opportunity

We're looking for an ambitious, creative, entrepreneurial individual who wants to be part of building a company, not just completing an internship.

You'll work directly with Veridial's founder, helping develop and execute the marketing, sales, and business development strategies that will shape the company's future.

This is a hands-on opportunity to gain meaningful startup experience, influence important business decisions, and see the direct results of your work.

We're especially interested in candidates who are motivated by entrepreneurship and excited about the possibility of growing into a larger leadership role.

## What You'll Do

- Research potential customers, churches, ministry organizations, and strategic partners.- Develop and execute creative marketing campaigns across email, social media, and other channels.- Identify prospective customers and help coordinate outreach and product demonstrations.- Help build relationships with church leaders, influencers, and potential business partners.- Create marketing content and promotional materials using modern AI tools.- Explore innovative customer acquisition and business growth strategies.- Track marketing performance, customer engagement, and sales opportunities.- Collaborate directly with the founder on business strategy, partnerships, and new opportunities.

## Who We're Looking For

Students or emerging professionals studying marketing, business, entrepreneurship, communications, or related fields are encouraged to apply.

We're looking for someone who is:

- Self-motivated, dependable, and comfortable taking initiative.- Creative and willing to experiment with new ideas.- Interested in AI, technology, marketing, sales, or entrepreneurship.- A strong communicator who enjoys building relationships.- Excited to learn and comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment.

Previous professional experience is not required. Initiative, creativity, work ethic, and the ability to execute ideas matter more than a long résumé.

## What Makes This Opportunity Different

This isn't an internship where you'll spend your time watching from the sidelines.

You'll gain direct access to the founder, participate in meaningful business decisions, develop real marketing and sales campaigns, and help shape a technology company during its earliest growth stages.

You'll have opportunities to build a substantial professional portfolio, develop entrepreneurial skills, and take ownership of projects that have measurable business impact.

**Exceptional candidates who demonstrate significant contributions and long-term commitment may be considered for expanded leadership responsibilities and potential equity participation, subject to a separate agreement.**

## Our Goal

We're looking for more than someone to fill a position. We want to discover talented individuals who could become an important part of Veridial's long-term success.

If you're ambitious, entrepreneurial, and want to help build something meaningful from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.
