Nearby AI Internship Program - Marketing & Operation Track

The role

Nearby AI is a company being built from its first months. The work that matters most right now is done by phone, in spreadsheets, in draft copy, and in conversations with customers and service professionals. Founding Associates work directly with the founding team on the marketing and operational groundwork of a new marketplace, and are measured on what they get done.

There are two tracks. You choose a primary track when you apply, and strength on either one is what we are looking for. Every associate spends part of the program on the other track so the cohort learns both sides of the business.

Marketing track

• Creative and content experiments. Draft and test ad creative, landing-page copy, and content variants with the growth lead, under the company's plain-language and compliance standards. Read the results and write up what moved.
• Local content production. Help build the data-backed local pages and guides that form the company's organic channel: sourcing, structuring, and quality-checking content at the editorial gate.
• Organic and AI-search tracking. Track how the company's content is discovered and cited by search engines and AI assistants, and turn that into a weekly readout.
• Community and partnerships groundwork. Map local organizations, publications, and community groups in launch markets and prepare the outreach the brand launch will use.

Operations track

• Provider sourcing and verification. Identify, contact, and qualify service professionals in launch markets; verify credentials against public records; build the roster the product launches with.
• Customer research. Recruit and interview homeowners about how they make hiring decisions and what stops them; turn transcripts into findings the product and design teams act on.
• Market intelligence. Document the customer experience of incumbent services first-hand and produce evidence that informs positioning and compliance review.
• Pricing data. Gather and document real-world pricing by category and region, with sources, to seed the company's pricing benchmarks.

Qualifications

Required

• Currently enrolled in, or recently graduated from, a rigorous undergraduate or graduate program, with a strong academic record.
• At least one initiative you started yourself, such as a club, business, research project, campaign, or publication, with results you can show.
• Strong written communication. A short writing sample is requested with your application.
• Comfortable with outbound work: calling strangers, running structured interviews, or pitching an idea to someone who did not ask for it.
• Working proficiency with spreadsheets and with AI tools as a daily working method.

Preferred, Marketing track

• Ran a campaign, newsletter, social account, or content project with an audience and measurable results.
• Coursework or experience in marketing, communications, journalism, or SEO.

Preferred, Operations track

• Prior work in construction, real estate, or home services, including family businesses.
