Job description

About Kognitos

Kognitos is building the platform that lets businesses automate their operations in plain English. No brittle scripts, no six-month integration projects - you describe the process, and it runs. We're Series B, backed by Khosla Ventures, and about 100 people.

We are a company that sells AI automation, which means our own marketing had better be a showcase for it. That's the job.

The role

You’ll work directly with our VP of Marketing - not through three layers of process. This is a small team, which means the work you do ships, gets seen by customers, and gets credited to you.

The core of the role

We generate a lot of raw material - webinars, customer calls, product releases, conference talks, analyst conversations - and not enough of it becomes content. You’ll own turning that raw material into a steady output of blog posts, social content, case studies, video clips, and email, using AI tooling to move at a volume that would otherwise take a team of four.

What you’ll actually do

• Turn one webinar into fifteen assets: clips, posts, a blog post, a nurture email
• Draft case studies from customer call recordings and interviews
• Run our LinkedIn and X presence day to day - write, schedule, engage, report on what worked
• Build competitive and market research briefs the sales team can actually use
• Support demand gen: email sequences, list building, landing pages, event logistics
• Build small automations and workflows that make the marketing function faster, and document them so they outlive your internship

What we’re looking for

• Evidence you’ve built things with AI tools - a newsletter, a side project, a content operation, an automation, a bot. We care about the artifact, not the tool list.
• Strong writing. AI raises your floor; it does not raise your ceiling. Taste is the thing we can’t teach.
• Skepticism toward your own output. You fact-check what the model tells you about our product, and you throw away the generic draft instead of shipping it.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward shipping. Nobody here will hand you a detailed brief.
• Currently enrolled or recently graduated. Major doesn’t matter.

What we’re not looking for

• A long list of certifications
• Someone who wants a structured rotational program - this isn’t that
• Prompt-engineering as a personality

Interview process

• 30-min intro call with Talent
• 45-min conversation with the VP of Marketing
• Paid working session (2 hrs): we’ll hand you real raw material from our marketing archive and ask you to produce a set of deliverables. Then we’ll walk through how you got there the prompts, the dead ends, the edits.
• Final conversation + offer. We pay for the working session regardless of outcome.

Logistics

Location: San Jose HQ, hybrid / Remote

Type: Paid internship

Final note

You do not need to match all of the listed expectations to apply for this position. We are committed to building a team with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and skills.
