About The Position

Brilliant is looking for a REMOTE Human Resources Intern, 15 hours a week to help support the agency’s growing, award-winning team for our Fall 2026 semester. We’re a fully remote performance team built on a simple promise: Work Hard. Play Hard. Laugh Hard. We aren't for the faint of heart!

The industry notices: We were recently named an Inc. Best Workplace 2026 and landed on the Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies for 2026! Since 2008, Brilliant has been where bold ideas meet relentless execution. We're a performance marketing agency with deep expertise in family-focused brands, bringing together PR, Influencer, Social, Paid Media, Affiliate, Retail Support, Experiential, and AI Intelligence to create integrated, full-funnel campaigns that shatter targets and cut through the noise. This internship is for October - December, 2026.
