Position Summary:

The Email & Lifecycle Marketing intern will be part of the Audience Development team whose goal is to ensure that the value of KQED's public media mission extends consistently into all audience-facing touchpoints on digital, primarily across email and KQED's owned channels like KQED.org and 88.5FM. The role works closely with the Audience Development Email Marketing Strategist and Marketing Manager, and team members across Content, Membership, Product, IT and Creative, to execute strategic campaigns, build an audience-first experience across newsletters, emails and other owned channels, and help execute day-to-day email and other lifecycle marketing needs.

KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling.

We value the contributions of marginalized people in society - including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ people - and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.
