About The Position

Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their fans and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live video, and selling to fans directly with one-time purchases.
Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:
$10 billion+ in revenue generated since Patreon's inception
100 million+ free memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and
25 million+ paid memberships on Patreon today.
We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Creator Strategy & Operations Intern to support our mission.
This internship is designed for those graduating between December 2026 through June 2027. Please only apply to one role that best fits your experience and interests. Multiple applications may result in a delayed application review.
Our summer internship is a 12-week long program (May - Aug. 2026 or June - Sept. 2026) hosted in our New York City office and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model.
The Scaled Creator Growth team focuses on helping Patreon’s midmarket creators thrive. We drive product adoption, earnings, and retention through scalable programs, experiments, and communications — especially email. We work cross-functionally with Product, Lifecycle Marketing, and other GTM teams to make sure creators get the right support at the right time.
Creative Impact: You will produce impactful social content, including creative graphics, short-form video, caption copy, and more for Patreon, directly influencing the creator economy and assisting in transforming creators’ passions into sustainable careers.
