Marketing & AI Internship

Marketing & AI Internship

A hands-on internship for a student who wants to learn AI-driven growth by doing it, not by watching a course. You ship real work from week one.

Remote · Latin America · $350 USD/month · Full-time · Independent Contractor · Monday to Friday · Part of the US business day

Why this role exists

Our client is a US nearshore staffing company that places senior Latin American talent with companies across the United States, with a 97% retention rate on the people they place. They are bootstrapped and profitable, run a separate software team building AI automation tools used by thousands of people every month, use AI in almost every part of the process and give people real ownership early. You will own the founder's outbound voice, build the company's talent communities from zero, and turn AI tools into actual output. Nobody will hand you a finished playbook: part of the job is figuring out what works and telling us.

What you'll own

• Founder outbound on LinkedIn: write the message, generate it as a voice note in the founder's cloned voice with an AI voice tool, and send it. This is the main channel we are betting on
• The talent community: WhatsApp and Instagram channels built from scratch, filled with people, with open roles posted every week. Volume first, polish second
• The recruiter community, kept warm with weekly jobs and useful content so they send us candidates when we need them
• The social channels: simple, visual content for students and early-career professionals, on the platforms they actually use
• New ideas: tools, formats and channels tested, with a clear read on what moved the number and what did not

Why this is interesting

• Cold outreach that gets answered
• AI voice and content tools at a working level
• How a US company builds a growth channel from zero
• How to read your own numbers instead of guessing

What we're looking for

• A student who wants to work with a US company
• Operational: you take a rough idea, break it into steps and get it done without being chased
• Excited about AI and already using it daily, even if only ChatGPT. We will teach you the rest
• Opinions you say out loud, including when you disagree with us
• English C1, written and spoken. You write clearly and can hold a conversation. You do not need to be perfect

Bonus

• You have run a social account before, personal or for a brand
• AI writing, AI image or AI voice tools
• Design skills (Canva, Figma or similar)
• You write good copy

What success looks like

First 90 days

By day 30, the community channels exist and have their first members, your first founder voice notes are going out on LinkedIn, and the weekly posting calendar runs without anyone reminding you. By day 60, you own the outbound motion: volume is steady and you know your reply rate. By day 90, you run the channel with light oversight and the numbers move: members in the community, applicants coming from channels you built, replies to founder outreach.

Ongoing

Community and applicant volume grow month over month. You manage the content calendar and the outreach pipeline on your own, and you bring ideas that improve how we reach talent, and kill the ones that do not work.
