Marketing & Communications Intern
About The Position
Datalign is a Cambridge fintech using data and AI to tackle a problem we think is worth solving: helping more Americans get financial advice they can trust. We’re looking for a Marketing & Communications Intern to help us tell that story — through podcasts, video, social media, PR, content, and new ideas we haven’t thought of yet. You’ll work closely with our marketing and communications team and get a real look at how marketing works at a growing company. You might edit an episode of our Perfectly Aligned podcast, turn a conversation with a financial advisor into social clips, help us respond to something happening in the news, research what people are asking about their money, or dig into Google Analytics to figure out why a piece of content took off. You’ll learn marketing strategy, financial services, AI, and content production by working on all four.
