Digital Marketing Intern

Position: Digital Marketing Intern, Part Time

Location:  Austin, TX preferred (hybrid)

Compensation: Paid, competitive based on experience

Your role as a Digital Marketing Intern will be hands-on and directly tied to the multidisciplinary  work our marketing team uses to reach campaigns, consultants, advocacy groups, research firms, nonprofits, and other firms. You will support content development, market research, social media, video, website optimization and day-to-day marketing operations while learning how a political technology company builds trust, sharpens its message and moves quickly in a competitive market.
 

This internship is built for someone who wants real experience, not busy work. You will work closely with Sofia, our Marketing Coordinator, to understand RumbleUp’s brand, audience and competitive position, then help turn that knowledge into content, research, campaigns and creative assets that support our growth. You will see first hand what it takes to keep pace with accelerating market demand, new opportunities, and new best practices in both marketing, SaaS, and political spheres due to the rise of AI.
 

Austin-based candidates are strongly preferred. Our local team meets in person at our Austin branch office at least once per week. The office is located at 8th & Congress and includes perks like free food, free snacks, free coffee/sparkling water/soft drinks, weekly happy hours and regular fun events.
