Summary 
 

Are you a sharp, driven communicator and marketer who thrives on storytelling, branding, and making real impact? Do you want your work to matter—to help shape the voice of a company that's driving innovation on a global scale? 
 

We're looking for a standout intern ready to roll up their sleeves, learn fast, and contribute meaningfully from day one. Based in the heart of the Bay Area, we’re not just another tech-adjacent company—we sit at the crossroads of groundbreaking technology, global collaboration, and intellectual property that shapes the future. 
 

Here, you'll do more than just support campaigns—you’ll help craft narratives, build brand presence, and amplify our story to the IP industry and the world. You'll work directly with senior leaders, gain exposure to high-level strategy, and see how communications and marketing power real-world business outcomes. 
 

We believe in working hard, learning fast, and recharging when needed. One week you’re developing a social media plan to reach global stakeholders; the next, you're experimenting with creative content that pushes boundaries. 
 

If you're agile, curious, and ready to elevate your skills in a smart, mission-driven environment, we want to hear from you. 

 

This is a paid internship with limited availability.
