Growth & Marketing Intern / New-Grad

Clera • San Francisco, CA

6d • Onsite

About The Position

A fast-moving, pre-seed AI talent platform startup based in San Francisco is looking for a driven Growth & Marketing Intern / New-Grad to help build and own its growth engine. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role where you'll work across every major growth channel — from cold email and paid ads to SEO and events — and design the repeatable, data-driven processes that convert recruiting insights into real demand. You'll be working directly with a small, ambitious founding team in the HR tech / AI talent acquisition space. Visa sponsorship is available for this role.

Requirements

• Proven ability to own outcomes and drive measurable impact, not just execute tasks.
• Experience across multiple growth/marketing domains (outbound, paid acquisition, content/brand, SEO, partnerships, and events) with the ability to run programs end-to-end.
• Comfort with a scientific, hypothesis-driven approach: A/B testing, metrics tracking, and rapid iteration.
• Familiarity with paid acquisition channels (Meta, LinkedIn, Google) and the ability to plan, launch, and optimize campaigns.
• Comfortable thriving in a fast-paced startup environment with high ownership and cross-functional collaboration.

Nice To Haves

• Experience running and optimizing outbound (cold email) programs and managing deliverability (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain warming, sender reputation).
• SEO expertise: topic research, on-page optimization, and internal linking strategy.
• Strong content creation skills across blogs, email, social, newsletters, testimonials, case studies, and product stories.
• Experience organizing online/offline events and managing marketing partnerships.
• Background in recruitment, HR tech, or AI talent platforms.

Responsibilities

• Own growth programs across outbound, paid acquisition, content/brand, SEO, partnerships, and events — delivering measurable outcomes end-to-end.
• Treat every channel as a scientific process: formulate hypotheses, run A/B tests, measure metrics, and iterate continuously.
• Plan, execute, and optimize outbound cold email programs; manage deliverability best practices (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain warming, sender reputation).
• Plan, launch, and optimize paid acquisition campaigns across Meta, LinkedIn, and Google.
• Create and distribute high-velocity content — blogs, emails, LinkedIn posts, social updates, testimonials, case studies, and product stories — with strong brand alignment.
• Shape and execute an SEO strategy covering topic research, on-page optimization, and internal linking.
• Build and manage marketing partnerships; organize online and offline events to drive real attendee turnout.

Benefits

• Visa sponsorship is available for this role.
• Significant opportunity for ownership, growth, and direct impact on the company's trajectory from day one.
