Communications Co-Op

Overview

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.

• 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;
• Brainstorming PR ideas for Battery and its portfolio companies;
• Help with firm‑wide events, including planning, managing RSVPs; executing campaigns to help drive event attendance; preparing event collateral; and providing some on‑site support;
• Content‑marketing work, including making website and blog updates in Word Press.

Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts or Science Degree with a focus in Communication Studies, Public Relations, Journalism, or English are ideal. Familiarity with tools such as Google Analytics, Word Press, Constant Contact and other CRM systems is a plus, as is fluency in popular social media platforms. 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.

Pay is $30/hour. This position is in San Francisco, based and in person full time.

Battery is committed to being a workplace that is diverse, welcoming, and fair for everyone.
