About the role

We are looking for a forward-thinking Creative Technology Intern who lives at the intersection of design, code, and emerging search ecosystems. In this role, you will help pioneer how our agency and our clients show up in the age of artificial intelligence. You will work hands-on with backend optimization, modern search frameworks, analytics data layers, storefront integrations, and AI-driven discovery to future-proof digital presences. (Note: Custom API integrations and advanced workflow automations are managed directly by leadership). Please also note that this role is unpaid.

Responsibilities

  • Analytics & Performance Tracking: Configure, manage, and audit Google Analytics and Google Search Console to track indexing health, search performance, and user behavior.
  • Storefront & Catalog Operations: Support the setup, product feed optimization, and management of Google Storefront / Merchant Center integrations.
  • Backend & Technical Infrastructure: Assist with website backend maintenance, core web vitals, and deploying structured data (schema markup) to maximize crawlability for both search engines and AI agents.
  • AI Integration Support: Help test, implement, and optimize AI-driven tools and workflows for internal agency operations and client campaigns.

Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in a degree program (computer science, data analytics, information technology, digital marketing, or a related field) seeking academic credit.
  • Practical familiarity with configuring and interpreting Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google Merchant Center/storefront environments.
  • Fundamental web development skills (HTML/CSS, JavaScript, and working with modern web architectures).
  • A forward-thinking mindset eager to explore how AI integration, machine learning, and modern search trends are reshaping digital marketing.
  • Detail-oriented, self-starter who values clean execution, minimalist standards, and high-quality craftsmanship.

Benefits

  • Hands-on experience scaling a creative agency at the forefront of AI integration and modern web optimization.
  • Direct mentorship in technical SEO/GEO, data analytics, and digital operations.
  • A robust portfolio of real-world projects bridging creative direction and advanced technology.
