We are looking for an ambitious Public Relations intern who’s ready to dig in and help us architect stories that scale across the whole business.
Ideally, you’re a media junkie who’s genuinely curious about creating and defining various narratives that push the company forward. You’re scrappy, eager to learn, and are excited by the idea of working alongside all facets of marketing - from PMM and social, to content and customer marketing – to make the glimmer of an idea into a tangible media story.
To excel in this role, you’ll need to bring knowledge of media today, including but not limited to traditional journalists, podcasters,and substacks. Bonus points if you’re passionate about influencer relations. Double bonus points if you’re savvy with exploring new AI tools.
Finally, you’re a born problem solver with a proactive mindset—scanning the media landscape for opportunities and risks, crafting timely angles, and moving from idea to pitch to placement without waiting to be asked. You collaborate closely with comms, legal, data, and marketing to align on messaging, prep spokespeople, build briefings, coordinate embargoes, and fact-check with precision. If you thrive partnering with internal teams and reporters to deliver timely, accurate, on-message stories while maintaining a positive, supportive culture, you’ll fit right in.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to connect.

Requirements

• Recent graduate or final year student in Communications, Public Relations, English, or similar
• A "figure-it-out" mentality—you aren't afraid to ask questions or watch a tutorial to solve a problem.
• Availability to be in-office during June and parts of August.

Responsibilities

• Support the Communications team with production work: draft/edit pitches and press releases, build targeted media lists, prep briefing docs/FAQs, and track/summarize coverage.
• Participate in story-mining and brainstorms—we want your read on the news cycle, timely angles, and data-driven ideas.
• Master core PR tools and tactics—media databases, monitoring/measurement, message houses, and briefing prep (we’ll teach you, but you should be ready to dive in).
• Collaborate with your manager and mentor to run tight announcement workflows: timelines, cross-functional approvals, embargoes, and reporter briefings
