Marketing Intern, Chartwells Higher Ed / Florida Atlantic University

Location: Boca Raton, FL (777 Glades Road, Florida Atlantic University)

Pay Rate: $16.00 per hour

About the Role

In this role, you will work closely with the Marketing Manager to implement and promote the dining program at Florida Atlantic University. This involves research to understand the needs of the target market, planning and brainstorming, promotions and advertising through various platforms, and implementation. This is not your average internship; you will be spearheading various projects and will be able to request assignments to expand your knowledge base. This is a wonderful opportunity for anyone interested in the field of marketing.

This is a paid intern position; however, it is not eligible for paid time off (PTO) or benefits such as medical, dental, or vision. Associates may be eligible for paid and/or unpaid time off benefits in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws.

Because this position requires you to perform services in an educational facility, there may be periods when the Company does not require you to perform work (such as winter and summer breaks when food service needs decline or cease). Any such periods during which you do not perform work on the Company’s behalf may be unpaid and deemed a temporary layoff. However, depending on business needs, you may be required to work year-round, potentially at a different location during break periods.
