Job description

About iCustomer

iCustomer is the Agentic Decision OS for Growth Marketing, used by 100+ clients to turn audience intelligence into decisions and orchestration with learning loops built in. We're a venture‑backed, US‑headquartered startup, building the next category in growth marketing – the decision layer and helping growth teams optimise ROAS, CAC, and LTV. Customers don't just buy software from us; they buy outcomes.

Reports to Product/GTM Manager.

Work at the bleeding edge of AI‑native marketing. Build a portfolio that puts you ahead of every other marketing grad in the room.

The Opportunity

We're opening a summer internship for a standout marketing student or recent graduate who wants to learn AI‑native marketing the way it's actually done in 2026 – not the way textbooks describe it. You'll work closely with our founding team and CXOs in a career‑defining seat, learning industry, domain, and tech chops you can't get in any classroom or rotational program.

Pick one of two tracks, based on where you want to build your edge:

Track 1 — AI‑Native Marketing Tech Stack & AEO/SEO.

Own iCustomer's organic discovery surface across Google Search and AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews). Build the playbook for how a category‑defining startup gets cited by AI when buyers ask the questions that matter. You'll work hands‑on with the full modern marketing tech stack – HubSpot, Clay, Apollo, Ahrefs, Semrush, Surfer, Webflow, GitBook – and the AI‑native layer on top: Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, custom GPTs, agentic workflows.

Track 2 — Content Marketing & Creator Tech Stack.

Produce the video, podcast, and live product content that brings iCustomer to life – short‑form social, long‑form YouTube, podcast episodes, and Supademo‑powered interactive product walkthroughs. You'll work hands‑on with the modern creator stack – Descript, Riverside, CapCut, Premiere, Figma, Supademo, Loom, Canva – and AI‑native tools: Claude, Sora, Runway, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Opus Clip.

Why This Is a Resume Builder

• Tier‑1 brand exposure. Our customers are American Eagle, Cisco, UNTUCKit, Crusoe – the brands marketing teams aspire to work with.
• Founding team + CXO access. Direct work with the founding team and CXOs on the problems that define the company's next year.
• AI‑native by default. Every workflow you touch will use Claude, agentic AI, and the most modern marketing stack. You'll be 12–18 months ahead of your peers.
• Public output. Bylines on Substack, credits on YouTube and podcast episodes, and named contributions to live customer content. Show, don't tell.
• Tier‑1 community. You'll meet CMOs, CDOs, and growth leaders at Decision Circuits dinners and conferences – the network is the bonus.

What You’ll Do

• Run keyword research and on‑page SEO across the iCustomer marketing site, GitBook docs, and Substack tie‑ins.
• Build the AEO playbook: structure content, schemas, and prompts so AI engines cite iCustomer when buyers ask about CDPs, decision intelligence, FIRE scoring, audience activation, and adjacent categories.
• Track rankings, organic traffic, AI citations (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews), and inbound demo flow.
• Build agentic workflows with Claude that automate competitive research, content briefs, and topic‑cluster planning.
• Partner with the founding team on category‑defining Substack posts and LinkedIn thought leadership.
• Produce video, podcast, and short‑form content for YouTube, LinkedIn and Reels/TikTok.
• Build Supademo product walkthroughs and interactive tutorials that make iCustomer easy to demo and self‑serve.
• Edit podcast episodes (Descript / Riverside) and turn them into clips, quote cards, and Substack posts.
• Capture coverage at Decision Circuits dinners and events; turn the room into content.
• Use AI‑native tools (Sora, Runway, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Opus Clip) to scale production without losing voice.

Who You Are

• Self‑organised, self‑motivated, and hungry – you learn fast, execute faster, and ship with minimum supervision. You don't wait to be told what to do; you find the next thing and do it.
• Currently enrolled in an undergrad or graduate program in Marketing, PR, Mass Communication, Journalism, Media Studies, Design, Business, or equivalent – or a recent grad (within the last 12 months).
• AI‑native – Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and modern AI tools are already part of how you work.
• A builder, not a spectator. You'd rather ship something messy and learn than write a perfect plan.
• Strong written communicator. Your LinkedIn or portfolio shows real taste.
• Curious about enterprise tech, AI, and how big brands actually operate – you don't need to be an expert, you need to want to become one.

For Track 1 (AEO/SEO + AI‑Native Stack)

• Working knowledge of SEO basics – keyword research, on‑page, schema, Search Console.
• Hands‑on with at least one AEO/SEO tool (Ahrefs, Semrush, Surfer, Clearscope) is a plus.
• A POV on how AI answer engines are changing organic discovery.

For Track 2 (Content & Creator Stack)

• Comfortable shooting and editing video (iPhone + mirrorless, Premiere / DaVinci / CapCut).
• Familiar with podcast production tools (Descript, Riverside) and design (Figma, Canva).
• Bonus if you've already published – YouTube, TikTok, Substack, podcast, anything with real audience engagement.

Bonus Points

• You already write a newsletter, vlog, or podcast.
• You've used Claude Projects, custom GPTs, or agentic workflows for real work.
• You have a POV on the unbundling of martech, agentic commerce, or where AI is taking growth marketing.
• A portfolio that shows you ship – links, not adjectives.

Logistics

• Duration: 10–12 weeks, summer 2026.
• Location: US‑based, hybrid in Boston or NYC preferred; meaningful travel to Decision Circuits events.
• Compensation: Paid stipend + travel covered + equipment + AI tool stack provided.
• Reports to: Product Manager.
• Working closely with: Founding team and CXOs – a career‑defining opportunity to build industry, domain, and tech chops.

How to Apply

Send us:

• Your resume, LinkedIn, and portfolio (newsletter, channel, GitHub, anything that shows your work).
• A short note (250 words max) on which track excites you more and one specific project you'd want to ship this summer.
• One piece of work you're proud of – a post, video, podcast episode, SEO teardown, or AI‑native workflow. Show, don't tell.
