Marketing & Communications Intern at PLANET.TECH

PLANET.TECH is a venture-backed climate technology startup developing wearable methane capture devices for dairy cattle. We convert cow burps — the single largest source of agricultural methane — into renewable natural gas and sustainable aviation fuel. Our mission: prevent 14% of global methane emissions while creating new revenue streams for farmers.

We’re looking for driven, curious interns who want real responsibility at a company solving one of the most important problems on the planet. No coffee runs. No busy work. Just meaningful work with direct CEO and CTO access.

Tell the story of a startup that’s turning cow burps into clean energy.

Griffin Cherry, CEO & Founder

PLANET.TECH has an incredible story to tell: a 10-person team that went from 3% to 28.8% methane capture efficiency in three months, with 35 dairy farm LOIs and a mission to prevent 14% of global methane emissions. We need someone who can help us tell that story to investors, media, farmers, and the world. As our Marketing & Communications Intern, you’ll own content creation, media outreach support, and brand building for a company at the intersection of climate tech and agriculture.

• Create and manage content for Linked In, Twitter/X, and other social channels (PLANET.TECH currently has minimal social presence — you’d be building it)
• Draft blog posts, press releases, and thought leadership content for the CEO
• Support media outreach campaigns: research journalists, draft pitches, track responses (65+ media targets already identified)
• Write and format email newsletters for investor updates and stakeholder communications
• Monitor and report on media mentions, competitor coverage, and industry trends in climate tech and ag tech
• Assist with event preparation:
  World Ag Expo, climate conferences, investor demo days
• Help build the PLANET.TECH brand guide and messaging framework

• Currently pursuing a degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, PR, or related field at UT Austin or Texas A&M
• Strong writing skills with the ability to make complex technology accessible and compelling
• Experience with social media management (personal or professional)
• Basic graphic design skills (Canva, Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar)
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on content calendars
• Interest in climate tech, sustainability, agriculture, or deep tech storytelling

• Experience with B2B marketing, especially for technical or hardware products
• Journalism, PR, or content marketing internship experience
• Video production or editing skills (huge plus for farm visit content and social)
• Familiarity with email marketing platforms (Mailchimp, Hub Spot)
• Portfolio of writing samples or social media work

• Work directly with the CEO and founding team — no busy work, real strategic impact from day one
• Join a company that just hit 28.8% methane capture efficiency, crossing commercial viability 3 months ahead of schedule
• Build your resume with a venture-backed climate tech startup solving a planetary-scale problem
• Flexible hours designed around your class schedule (10–20 hrs/week)
• Strong potential for full-time conversion or continued role for high performers
• For-credit internship available (we’ll sign whatever your university needs)
