Job description

Marketing Intern

At some point in the future, every business will answer their phone with voice AI. We are building the platform that makes it possible.

Phonely builds conversational voice AI agents for high-volume phone workflows. Our customers use us to qualify leads, book appointments, route calls, and resolve real customer conversations in production. We just raised a Series A from top-tier investors, we are one of the fastest-growing companies in San Francisco right now, and we are just getting started.

About the Role

This is not a "schedule some posts and update the content calendar" internship. We are looking for someone who has already proven they can build something from nothing, whether that is a social following, a side business, a creative campaign that actually moved numbers, or some scrappy automation that made a real difference.

You will work directly with the founding team on growth marketing, content, social, and whatever else needs to happen to get Phonely in front of more people. We do not have a playbook for you to follow. You will be writing it.

What You Will Do

• Own and grow Phonely's social media presence across platforms
• Create content that people actually want to engage with, not filler
• Build and test growth loops, automations, and distribution hacks
• Experiment with new channels and tactics, measure what works, kill what does not
• Collaborate with the team on launch campaigns, product announcements, and brand storytelling
• Find creative ways to get Phonely in front of our target audience without just throwing money at ads
• Track performance and report on what is moving the needle

What You Will Bring

• You have built or grown something online, whether it is your own following, a brand's social presence, a newsletter, a community, or a side project that got real traction. Show us the receipts.
• You think like a builder, not a task-taker. You see a problem and you figure out how to solve it, even if nobody told you how.
• You have started something, been in an entrepreneurship club, launched a project, freelanced, or otherwise put yourself out there and hustled.
• You have started some marketing automation and are not afraid to hack tools together to make things work.
• You are scrappy, resourceful, and a little relentless. You do not wait for permission.
• Strong writing skills. You can communicate clearly and you know what sounds good.

Bonus Points

• You have grown a social account past 10K+ followers organically
• You have built automations using tools like Zapier, Make, n8n, or written scripts to streamline marketing workflows
• You have run a small business, sold something online, or otherwise made money from your own hustle
• You have experience with short-form video content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)

Why Join Phonely

We are a team of ex-athletes, founders, and builders with low egos and high standards. We take the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. On-site in San Francisco, meals covered, quarterly offsites to interesting places (Rocky Mountains, Costa Rica, Indonesia). You will work directly with the founders and have a front-row seat to what it looks like to scale a company at this stage. If you are looking for a line on your resume, this is not it. If you are looking to prove what you can do when someone gives you a real shot, this is it.

Interview Process

1. Quick intro call to hear your story and what you have built
2. Show us your work: walk us through something you grew, launched, or hacked together
3. Final conversation with Will
