Are you a marketing or design student (or aspiring pro) looking for real-world experience, a creative playground, and a front-row seat to building a business? This internship might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
The Role
As our Marketing & Design Intern, you'll gain hands-on experience across various marketing functions while learning about the cybersecurity industry. This position offers unparalleled access to business development processes and direct mentorship from our founding team.
We have several different projects for you to work on. However, we do not expect you to work on all of them - we want to partner with you to identify the projects that align best with your experience and aspirations. These projects include, but are not limited to:
Content Creation & Design
• Develop marketing slicks and brochures
• Create productized pitch decks
• Design customer onboarding materials
• Produce customer success materials
• Contribute to website updates and improvements
Digital Marketing
• Assist with SEO strategy implementation
• Help plan and execute email campaigns
• Design our company newsletter
• Social media content and strategy
• Podcast branding and promotion
It is important to us that you walk away with real, defined project experience and a portfolio of deliverables that have actually shipped. This isn't busy work – these are actual projects that will impact our business and demonstrate your capabilities to future employers.
We want to reiterate that this is an unpaid internship. We are a self-funded company in the startup stages, and we just don't have the revenue streams to bring on paid help yet. We recognize that work is transactional, and we will do everything we can to make sure you receive value out of this internship. And we believe that you will.
We understand that this opportunity will not be for everyone. But it will be for someone.
What We Bring To The Table
We’re a small team of three experienced founders building a full-service cybersecurity firm. It is an established business model and with a track record of success. We don't think we know everything, but we aren't winging it either.
We have a well-defined ICP, personas, products, and pricing — you won’t be starting from scratch.
We welcome creativity and innovative approaches to problem-solving. If you have ideas, we want to hear them. You'll have the opportunity to influence our marketing strategy and potentially our product development.
We will provide access to the business development process — your work could directly influence how we market ourselves and grow.
We're well connected within the technology industry and beyond. If you're looking to build your professional network, we can facilitate introductions and help you establish valuable connections.
If you wish to receive academic credit for the internship, we will contact your school and attempt to facilitate that.
This would be an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, particularly in the technology space. You'll have a front-row seat to the business-building process, witnessing decisions and strategies as they unfold. If you have questions, we'll answer them. Our goal is to provide real, meaningful mentorship that puts you in a position to succeed long-term.
Who We're Looking For
Our preference is someone that is currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Marketing, Communications, Graphic Design, or related field. We're not marketing experts, so you will need a good foundation of knowledge in order for this to be successful.
You should have an interest in technology, and obviously cybersecurity is a plus. We don't need you to be an expert here but this is a technical field and you need to understand some basics. As long as you know enough to get a foothold, you’ll learn a whole lot by the end of this.
You should be serious about this opportunity and be willing to commit 15-20 hours a week towards it over the next six months. While we don't maintain strict hours, regular communication and meetings with the team will be essential for your success.
You should have a creative, open mindset and strong attention to detail. That doesn't mean you can't make mistakes; we fully expect you to make plenty of them. You will need to be comfortable with that and open to feedback when it happens.
You will need strong written and verbal communication skills. Yes, every job posting says that. But for this type of role...we really mean it.
We're seeking candidates who recognize the value of mentorship, real-world experience, and direct access to company founders. We are committed to investing our time and resources to ensure your success and provide a meaningful learning experience.
We don't care where you grew up, where you went to school, or what you look like. You just need to reside in the United States and be eligible to work here.
How to Apply
If this sounds like your kind of thing, we’d love to hear from you. Please submit your resume and any additional materials you'd like for us to review to hello@entoosecurity.com. We aren't requiring a cover letter or portfolio, but we will review what you send.
If this seems like a good fit, we’ll schedule time to meet with you. If this doesn’t seem like a good fit, we’ll let you know.
If we meet with you, you’ll hear back from us afterwards. We respect you and your time; you will not be ghosted by us.
We must note that there are no guarantees of employment at the end of the internship.
