Marketing Intern

About the role

This isn't a behind-a-desk internship. We need someone outgoing and comfortable talking to strangers, taking fitness classes, joining run clubs, etc — someone who can represent FOOTWORK out in the field, at events, and across our social channels. You'll be a key part of how the local community discovers and connects with FOOTWORK.

Responsibilities

• Partnerships/Corporate Sales: Go out into the field to pitch and sell FOOTWORK to local businesses, gyms, and corporate wellness programs, building relationships that turn into partnerships.
• Community Events: Help plan and execute community events from start to finish: logistics, communications, and being present and engaging onsite.
• Social Media: Support content creation, posting, and community engagement across FOOTWORK's social platforms, helping bring our brand voice to life online.

Why Footwork?

You'll get hands-on experience across sales, events, and social media, three core marketing muscles, while helping build a growing local brand from the ground level. This is a great fit for someone who wants real-world experience, not just busywork.

Requirements

• Outgoing and comfortable initiating conversations with new people
• Passionate about fitness and wellness, you get the runner/hiker/gym-goer mindset and can speak to it authentically
• Organized and reliable, especially when coordinating event logistics
• Comfortable being the face of the brand in person, not just online
• Interested in marketing, sales, or community building — prior experience is a plus, but attitude matters more
• Based in or near San Mateo, CA, with reliable transportation for local fieldwork and events

Qualifications

• Strong communication and customer service skills to interact effectively with team members and customers
• Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment
• Proficient with common productivity tools (e.g., spreadsheets, presentation software) and comfortable learning new digital platforms
• Demonstrated interest in wellness, lifestyle, or consumer brands; prior internship or project experience in marketing is a plus

This is a commission-based role.
