About The Position

NewsBreak is seeking candidates for its Nearby AI Internship Program, focusing on a Marketing & Operation Track.

Nearby AI, a new venture from NewsBreak, aims to build a trust-first marketplace for local home services, connecting homeowners with service providers based on clarity, cost, and quality. The internship involves working directly with the founding team on the marketing and operational groundwork of this new marketplace, with a focus on tangible results.
