👩‍💻👨‍💻 Role and Responsibilities

We’re looking for a creative, analytical, and execution-driven intern to help us scale BoldVoice’s growth marketing efforts. If you thrive in fast-paced environments and want to see how a top YC-backed startup grows, this role offers hands-on experience directly alongside the co-founders.

Responsibilities include:

• Source, vet, and manage creator partnerships and UGC collaborations
• Plan and execute video-based ad campaigns (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts)

• Help grow our organic social presence across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
• Experiment with AI tools to accelerate content creation and testing

Qualifications:

• Current student (BA, BS, or MBA) or recent graduate
• Deep familiarity with social platforms: you’re the kind of person who scrolls TikTok not just for fun, but to understand what works
• Ideally, you’ve created content yourself (videos, reels, UGC, etc.) and know how to tell a story that grabs attention in the first three seconds
• Sharp creative instincts: you have opinions on what makes a caption or hook perform
• Analytical mindset: you enjoy running small experiments, tracking results, and iterating fast
• Genuine curiosity about AI, consumer products, and startups
• Empathy for BoldVoice’s users — international professionals learning English
• Self-starter who thrives in an unstructured environment and takes ownership from idea to execution

Compensation & Perks

• Paid internship: You will be paid an hourly rate
• AI experience: You will be part of a lean team growing an AI-powered app
• In-person immersion: You will work from our office in Manhattan (Noho), and see firsthand how a fast-growing startup operates.
