Job description

What this actually is

This is a generalist internship. You’ll work across content, research, events, and marketing operations rather than specializing in one. It’s a great fit if you’re not yet sure which part of marketing you want to go deep on.

What you’ll work on

Content

• First drafts of social posts pulled from existing blogs, webinars, and case studies.
• Building and scheduling email in HubSpot from copy that’s already been approved.
• Repurposing webinar recordings into clips, recaps, and quote cards.
• Website QA — checking links and bios, and flagging stale service pages.
• Copy support on webinar and partner landing pages.

Research

• Competitive tracking: positioning changes, new offerings, hiring signals, event presence.
• Target account research for the sales team’s named-account list.
• Conference scouting to help build next year’s sponsorship calendar.
• Pulling and cleaning source data for analysis.

Events

• Logistics support for conference sponsorships and booth presence.
• Pre- and post-event promotion.
• Webinar production start to finish: registration setup, reminder sequences, day‑of run of show, and follow-up.

Marketing operations

• Campaign tagging, so attribution reporting stays honest.
• Assembling the monthly marketing report.
• Documenting how recurring processes actually work, so they don’t live only in one person’s head.

Your anchor project

Alongside the rotating support work above, you’ll own one project start to finish. We won’t hand that to you on day one — we’ll choose it together once we know what you’re interested in, what you’re already good at, and where you’re hoping to grow.

Is this you?

This role fits a student who isn’t sure yet which part of marketing they want — someone curious enough to draft social copy one week, clean up a spreadsheet the next, and staff a booth the week after that. It doesn’t fit someone who already knows they want to be a social media specialist or a designer; you won’t get the depth in either one that a specialized internship would give you. What you will get is a wider view of how a marketing function actually runs than most internships offer, plus real feedback on real work.
