About The Position

Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) is seeking a Content Marketing Intern to support our content team part-time (20-32 hours per week). The internship has a maximum duration of 1,000 hours and reports to the Senior Content Marketing Manager. Responsibilities include reviewing and publishing web pages in WordPress, drafting written content, organizing digital assets, supporting SEO and content audits, and assisting with major communications, including projects related to our upcoming 50th Anniversary. As an environmental organization, there will also be opportunities to experience and enjoy the landscapes we protect firsthand. POST is a hybrid workplace. While many responsibilities can be completed remotely, the Content Marketing Intern will occasionally visit preserves and participate in meetings or events at our Palo Alto office. As such, candidates must live in the Bay Area and possess a valid driver's license. This is an excellent opportunity to gain experience with a nationally recognized land conservation organization while developing practical skills in website publishing, content strategy, digital asset management, SEO, analytics, and nonprofit communications. You'll leave POST with a deeper understanding of conservation storytelling and hands-on experience supporting a collaborative, digitally focused marketing team.
