Job description

Emergent is a Delft-based defense technology company dedicated to revolutionizing autonomous aerial systems for defense and emergency response. We develop software for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that enables platform-independent collaborative autonomy, and Counter-UAS (C-UAS) systems that detect, track, and defeat hostile drones.

Backed by significant investment and grants, we work with clients and strategic partners across Europe and allied countries. Our ambitious team of 20 people is building cutting-edge technology with real-world impact, contributing to a safer and more resilient Europe.

What you will do

As Online Marketing & Communications Intern, you will help shape how Emergent presents itself to the world. We are developing leading capabilities in autonomous systems and counter-drone defense, and we want to make sure customers, partners, future colleagues, and the broader community know what we can do.

You will have significant autonomy to develop ideas, create content, and drive our public visibility. This is not an internship where you simply execute a predefined content calendar. We want someone who takes initiative, experiments, and helps turn our technological achievements into recognition and commercial opportunities.

Your responsibilities will involve

• Drive our LinkedIn presence — create engaging posts about our technology, field tests, achievements, and team.
• Develop marketing materials — create presentations, brochures, videos, and other content that communicate our capabilities to potential customers and partners.
• Join field tests and demonstrations — capture photos, videos, and stories of our technology in action.
• Shape public relations and go-to-market strategy — identify opportunities for media exposure, campaigns, and industry outreach.
• Build our employer brand — position Emergent as an exciting workplace for ambitious talent in the European defense and technology sector.
• Generate visibility and inbound leads — experiment with marketing channels and initiatives that expand our reach and attract potential customers.

What you bring

• Currently pursuing a BSc or MSc in Marketing, Communications, Business, Media, or a related field.
• Strong affinity with technology and curiosity about robotics, drones, autonomous systems, or engineering.
• A passion for strengthening Europe's defense capabilities, as well as an interest in the civilian applications of our technology, including emergency response and public safety.
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills in English; Dutch is a plus.
• A creative, proactive, and entrepreneurial mindset, with the ability to work independently and take ownership.
• An interest in digital marketing, content creation, and building an audience.
• EU and/or NATO citizenship required.

Nice to haves

• Experience creating LinkedIn content or running social media campaigns.
• Photography, videography, editing, or graphic design skills.
• Familiarity with Canva, Adobe Creative Cloud, or similar tools.
• Experience with SEO, website analytics, PR, or lead generation.
• A portfolio of creative projects or marketing materials.

What we offer

• Real ownership and autonomy to shape how Emergent communicates with the world.
• The opportunity to contribute to Europe's defense and security, as well as impactful civilian applications of autonomous technology.
• Hands-on involvement in field tests and demonstrations of cutting-edge drone technology.
• Direct collaboration with our founders, engineers, and business development team.
• A fast-moving, ambitious team in Delft with plenty of room for creativity and personal growth.
• Internship compensation of 750 euro per month.
