Growth & Performance Marketing serves as the connective layer across all lines of business, identifying incremental revenue opportunities in media buying, social content deployment, and performance analytics that individual business units can't surface on their own. Interns on this team gain hands-on exposure to campaign execution, UTM/creative performance tracking, and cross-functional strategy work directly supporting company-wide revenue growth.

- Campaign Management – Support the planning, execution, and tracking of paid and organic marketing campaigns across platforms, ensuring timelines, budgets, and performance goals are met.
- Creative Strategy & Production Liaison – Bridge the gap between creative briefing and final production, helping translate performance insights into creative direction and ensuring assets are optimized for platform-specific performance from concept through launch.
- Emerging Platform Experimentation – Research and test new and emerging marketing platforms and formats, running small-scale pilots to evaluate viability and recommend opportunities for broader adoption.
Qualifications:
- Currently pursuing a degree in Marketing, Finance, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, or a related quantitative field
- Strong analytical skills with comfort working in spreadsheets/data (Excel, Google Sheets); familiarity with SQL or data visualization tools a plus
- Interest in the technical side of marketing — platform mechanics, campaign structure, and performance metrics — over purely creative or brand-focused work
- Detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple campaigns/timelines simultaneously
- Strong written and verbal communication skills for cross-functional collaboration
- Proactive, curious, and comfortable learning new platforms and tools quickly
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with AI-powered marketing tools (e.g., generative AI for creative production, AI-driven media buying/optimization platforms)
- Basic understanding of automation concepts (workflow automation, scripting, or no-code tools like Zapier) as applied to campaign management or reporting
- Exposure to prompt engineering or using AI tools to accelerate research, content generation, or data analysis
- Coursework or self-directed projects involving Python, R, or other tools for data analysis/automation
