Marketing Intern

About the Role
We are building a new rideshare platform from the ground up and are looking for a Marketing Intern to join our growing team. This internship is designed for a student, recent graduate, or entry-level marketing professional who wants hands-on experience helping prepare and grow a real-world technology startup. The intern will gain exposure to digital marketing, social media, content creation, customer acquisition, driver recruitment, referral programs, local partnerships, campaign planning, market research, and marketing analytics. The intern will work directly with company leadership and designated team members and will receive assigned projects, marketing guidance, feedback, and ongoing mentorship throughout the internship.
The Marketing Intern will help support both sides of the rideshare marketplace: attracting riders who need transportation and recruiting drivers who provide rides. The intern may also assist with launch campaigns, social media content, promotional materials, partnership outreach, and analyzing campaign performance. Marketing materials, public communications, campaigns, and promotional offers must be reviewed and approved by company leadership before being published or distributed.
This is an unpaid internship focused on practical experience, mentorship, professional development, and exposure to the marketing and growth processes involved in launching a technology and rideshare platform.
