But we don’t want people who simply ask AI to do their work. We want people who learn how to work with AI.

That’s okay.We’re not hiring you for what you already know. We’re interested in how quickly you can learn.
What We're Looking For
- Curiosity: You naturally ask: Why? What if? How could this be better? You don’t just accept information. You investigate.
- Energy: We want people who bring energy into a room. Not fake enthusiasm. Positive pressure. The kind of person who sees a problem and gets excited about solving it.
- Initiative: If someone tells you:
“We need to understand this market.”
- Communication: You should be able to:
- Express an idea clearly
- Write reasonably well
- Ask good questions
- Listen carefully
- Present your thinking
- Communicate with teammates
- Creative Thinking: Creativity isn’t just designing something beautiful. It’s seeing a possibility that others haven’t seen. We want people who can say: “What if we did it differently?”
- Ownership: You won’t always have someone standing behind you telling you what to do. We want people who can take a small problem and say: “I’ll figure it out.”

Over the course of the internship, you may discover:“I’m really good at research.”or“I love writing.”or“I want to work in brand strategy.”or“I’m actually a designer.”or“I love working with clients.”or“I want to understand growth and marketing.”That’s valuable.
