MARKETING INTERN – SPRING 2021

Are you a current University student looking for a flexible internship where you can build your marketing skills and advance your career? We are a startup home security and automation company looking for a driven intern to join our team and provide creative ideas to help achieve our goals. You will be a valuable member of our team and not just another body in a large office. Under the direction of the Marketing Manager, you will also gain the skills needed to continue to be successful in your studies and future career. This is a great opportunity in a growing company for university students looking to build their skills on a flexible, part-time basis with future opportunities for advancement. We’d love someone who might want to stick around after the internship and move up within our marketing department!

You will use analytics to make decisions to drive organic traffic to our website and other points of contact on the customer journey. You will have administrative duties in developing and implementing marketing strategies and we’ll teach you how to do it! As a content creator, you will collaborate with the Marketing Manager to support any marketing needs. Your insightful contribution will help develop, expand, and maintain our marketing channels. This position will help you acquire marketing skills and provide you with knowledge of various content marketing strategies.

  • Help organize internal and external marketing events

  • Strong sense of curiosity and desire to learn (we can teach you most everything you need to know—you just have to be a willing participant)
  • Professional drive and presence when needed, but also possess a great sense of humor (we’re all jokes around here)

  • Excellent knowledge of MS Office, specifically Excel
  • An eye for design to create engaging social media and web posts
  • Technologically competent
  • Creative, outside-the-box style of thinking
