We’re ready to turn up the volume on growth — and we’re looking for entrepreneurial interns who are excited to take ownership of real marketing campaigns and directly impact customer acquisition.

The Role
This is not your average internship. You’ll be handed real responsibility — running our email and digital ad campaigns, and helping drive membership signups with a dedicated marketing budget. You’ll have flexibility to test new ideas and own your results from day one.

This is ideal for someone who wants hands-on experience in growth marketing, and is motivated by the "eat what you kill" nature of performance-driven work. You’ll work directly with the founder and learn the mechanics behind growing a profitable SaaS business.

What You’ll Do

• Email Marketing
• Create and manage a weekly/monthly email calendar
• Write compelling email copy and subject lines that drive clicks and signups
• Segment and personalize campaigns for specific subscriber groups
• Digital Advertising
• Design and manage campaigns on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Google, andReddit
• Write performance-focused ad copy and choose creative formats (static, video, etc.)
• Run A/B tests and optimize based on real-time performance
• Growth Strategy
• Propose and experiment with new customer acquisition channels
• Track key KPIs (CTR, CAC, conversions) and report on campaign performance
• Identify opportunities to improve landing pages and funnel performance

You Might Be a Fit If You…

• Are a student or recent grad looking for meaningful, real-world experience in marketing
• Love copywriting, testing headlines, and figuring out what makes people click
• Have a self-starter mindset — you don’t wait to be told what to do
• Want to learn how to drive measurable business growth
• Are comfortable with tools like Canva, Mailchimp, Meta Ads Manager, or similar
• Enjoy working independently and taking ownership of your ideas

What You’ll Get

• A performance-driven internship where your earnings scale with your results — the more efficiently you market, the more you take home
• A chance to work directly with a founder and learn startup marketing inside and out
• Full ownership of marketing campaigns and strategy — no busywork
• Flexibility in hours and remote work
• Real performance data you can put on your resume or portfolio
