Description
Battery Ventures, a global, technology-focused investment firm, seeks a co-op intern in the San Francisco Bay Area to assist with its industry-leading marketing and communications program. Students best suited for this internship will be liberal-arts majors studying in areas such as Communication Studies, Public Relations, Journalism and English—this is not a marketing internship for students who want hands-on investing experience.
The role offers students a chance to learn the ins-and-outs of digital marketing and corporate communications in a rapidly changing industry environment, including both earned and unearned programs, from Battery team members with decades of experience at large PR firms and national journalism publications such as the Wall Street Journal and Forbes. The role will focus on digital content; strategic events; community building; email marketing; social media; and PR/comms. The intern will be a mature self-starter comfortable working in person and over Zoom with colleagues in the Battery marketing department as well as other parts of the company. Familiarity with tools like Google Analytics, WordPress, Constant Contact and other CRM systems is a plus, as is fluency in popular social media platforms. Pay is $30/hour and specific responsibilities may include, though are not limited to:
- Help with firmwide events, including planning, managing RSVPs; executing campaigns to help drive event attendance; preparing event collateral; and providing some on-site support;
- Content-marketing and thought-leadership work, including making website and blog updates in WordPress;
- Help with design, videos and social-media content;
- Managing critical marketing databases tracking portfolio executives and journalists, and conducting research to keep them current;
- Helping to manage online Slack communities;
- Researching brand-building activities for Battery and its portfolio companies, including industry speaking opportunities and awards;
This position is San Francisco based and in person full time.
About this role
Battery Ventures is looking for a communications co-op intern to support its marketing and corporate communications team in San Francisco. This role is designed for liberal-arts students with backgrounds in communication, public relations, journalism, or English—not for those seeking investment experience. You'll work alongside seasoned professionals who've spent decades at major PR firms and publications like the Wall Street Journal and Forbes, learning how digital marketing and corporate communications operate within a fast-moving venture capital environment.
The work spans multiple areas: managing events from planning through execution, creating content and thought-leadership pieces using WordPress, producing social media and video content, maintaining marketing databases, managing Slack communities, and researching brand-building opportunities including speaking engagements and industry awards. You'll need to be comfortable with both in-person collaboration and remote work, and familiarity with tools like Google Analytics, WordPress, Constant Contact, and CRM systems is valuable. The position pays $30 per hour and requires full-time, in-office presence in San Francisco.
This internship suits someone who's self-directed, interested in how communications functions at a professional level, and ready to contribute across multiple projects simultaneously rather than dive deep into a single specialty.
