The Opportunity

We're hiring a Marketing Intern to work side-by-side with our small but experienced marketing team — including our Co-founder — for a three-month contract this summer.

This is not a "get the coffee" internship. You'll sit in our Oakland office with seasoned marketers, learn the tools and systems that power a high-growth consumer startup, and do work that meaningfully supports the business. You'll get hands-on with the day-to-day of how marketing actually runs — learning to send email campaigns, supporting our organic social content, and keeping things organized.

The right person is curious, scrappy, and excited about marketing, technology, and AI. You don't need prior experience. You do need an appetite for learning, a willingness to roll up your sleeves, and the kind of energy that makes you fun to share an office with.

What You'll Get Out of It

• Real exposure to how marketing works at a high-growth startup. Not theoretical — you'll be working side-by-side with seasoned marketers.

• Hands-on time with modern marketing tools and AI workflows that will be directly useful in your career.

• Mentorship from experienced marketers, including our Co-founder.

What You'll Work On

The exact mix of work will flex with what's most useful to the business, but you’ll focus on initiatives that will drive 30+ walk-thru’s scheduled each month and 15+ new members each month.

• Learn and help execute email sends. Get hands-on with our email marketing tools — drafting, building, QA-ing, and scheduling campaigns and lifecycle sends.

• Manage the marketing inbox. Read, triage, and respond to inbound emails from prospective and current members under the guidance of the marketing team.

• Take on our organic social media and content channels. Take on our organic social media channels and newsletter content. Work on our Instagram and LinkedIn strategy — developing content ideas and posts, sourcing assets, building an editorial calendar, scheduling posts and newsletters, and iterating over time.

• Support the marketing team broadly. Project management, organizing assets, pulling simple reports, helping prep for campaigns, ordering swag, and other work that comes with being part of a small, fast-moving team.

• Use AI tools daily. Help us speed up research, content drafting, list-building, asset creation, and reporting using the latest AI tools.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a current college student (or recent grad) who is:

• Hungry to learn. You're curious, you ask good questions, and you pick things up quickly.

• Genuinely interested in marketing, technology, and AI. You don't need experience, but you should be excited to grow your career in this space.

• Reliable and detail-oriented. A lot of this work — inbox, email QA, content scheduling — depends on someone who follows through and doesn't miss things.

• A good communicator. Clear writing matters, especially since you'll be handling inbound emails and helping draft social content.

• AI-native, or eager to be. If you already use ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools as part of how you work, great. If not, you'll learn fast.
