Job description

BIGO LIVE's US Partnerships team builds the relationships that bring new audiences, credibility, and cultural relevance to the platform — from talent and influencer partnerships to live events and brand activations across the US market.

As a Partnerships Intern, you will sit at the center of that work: sourcing and researching potential partners, supporting outreach and follow-up, building the decks and one-pagers we put in front of talent and their teams, and tracking what each partnership actually delivered. This is a hands‑on role with real ownership — you will be in the room for partner calls and on‑site at activations, not watching from the sidelines.

• Contract Type: 3 months OR length of school semester/quarter corresponding to earning college credit
• Schedule: 4 days/week in office @ Century City office. Occasional evening or weekend hours during events and activations.

What You'll Do:

Partner Research & Pipeline Building

• Build and maintain prospect lists of creators, influencers, talent managers, agencies, venues, and brand partners relevant to BIGO LIVE's US audience.
• Source and verify contact information, audience data, and past brand collaborations to qualify partners before outreach.
• Keep the partnership pipeline and tracker accurate and current — status, owner, next step, and key dates for every opportunity.
• Research the competitive and cultural landscape: who competing platforms are partnering with, which creators and communities are rising, and where BIGO LIVE has an opening.
• Draft partner‑facing outreach — first‑touch emails, DMs, and follow‑ups — in BIGO's voice, and own the call scheduling process end to end.
• Support day‑to‑day communication with partners and their representatives, keeping response times fast and every commitment tracked.
• Take clear notes in partner calls and internal meetings, then convert them into action items, recaps, and follow‑ups.

Events & Activations Support

• Support the planning and execution of BIGO LIVE events and brand activations — guest and talent lists, and logistics.
• Provide on‑site support during activations: talent check‑in, content capture, and real‑time problem solving.
• Build partner‑facing materials: pitch decks, one‑pagers, case studies, and post‑campaign recaps that make the BIGO LIVE opportunity clear and compelling.
• Assist in the brainstorming, creation, and proofing of partnership deliverables including video, stills, and banners that resonate with the BIGO brand.

Qualifications:

• Junior/Senior year student enrolled in a college and pursuing a major in marketing, communications, business, entertainment/media management, or other relevant studies.
• Strong written communication — you can write an outreach email or a deck headline that someone actually wants to respond to.
• Highly organized and detail‑oriented; comfortable owning trackers, timelines, and follow‑ups without being chased.
• Strong research and analytical skills, with working proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and PowerPoint/Google Slides.
• Well versed in creator culture, live streaming, pop culture, and entertainment — you know who is interesting right now and can explain why.
• Familiarity with major social and creator platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, X, Facebook).
• Comfortable representing BIGO LIVE professionally with external partners, talent, and their representatives.
• Self‑starter with the ability to work independently and cross‑functionally in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment.
• Available for occasional evening/weekend event support in the Los Angeles area.

Nice to Have:

• Prior internship or experience in talent management, influencer marketing, events, brand partnerships, or entertainment.
• Photography, video editing, or graphic design skills.

What You'll Get:

• Direct exposure to how partnerships are sourced, pitched, negotiated, and measured at a global platform with 400M+ users.
• Real ownership of a workstream — your research and materials go in front of partners, not into a folder.
• Mentorship from the US Partnerships team and cross‑functional exposure to Marketing, Content, Account Management, and Business Intelligence.
• Eligible for college credit where your school program allows.
