Marketing Intern

Job Description

About the Job

Most people don’t think about where their data goes until it’s too late. We’re building the tool that fixes that — and we need someone who can tell that story.

Sonomos is an early-stage, AI-privacy startup (part of San Diego State University’s ZIP Launchpad). We are building a privacy-first tool that detects and masks personally identifiable information in real time, entirely on-device, when using AI. No cloud uploads, no data collection, no trust-us promises. Just provable protection for professionals in healthcare, legal, finance, and HR who are held to strict compliance standards.

ROLE SUMMARY

We are seeking a resourceful marketing intern to help build Sonomos’s brand presence, conduct professional outreach, and lead content strategy.

This is not a simple social media role; it is a position for a sharp communicator who can articulate the intersection of AI safety, regulatory compliance, and enterprise security to a highly skeptical audience. You’ll own real campaigns, ship real content, and see the direct line between your work and our growth.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Plan, draft, and schedule social media content across LinkedIn, X/Twitter, TikTok, and Reddit targeting compliance professionals and privacy advocates.
• Draft SEO/AEO-optimized web copy that translates technical privacy concepts into clear buyer-facing language.
• Assist with email marketing campaigns — list segmentation, copywriting, A/B testing, and performance reporting.
• Coordinate creation of visual assets (social graphics, short-form video, demo clips) aligned with Sonomos’s design language.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Currently pursuing a degree at San Diego State University (current undergraduate or graduate student), and not graduating Spring 2026.
• Comfortable working asynchronously at times in a remote, fast-paced startup environment.

BONUS POINTS

• Exposure to B2B SaaS marketing.
• Basic design skills (Canva/Figma) or willingness to learn.
• Experience creating social media content (TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn).

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

• End-to-end ownership of marketing initiatives — not just busywork.
• A portfolio of real, shipped work: campaigns, content, analytics dashboards.
• Exposure to the full startup lifecycle: product, GTM, fundraising, partnerships.
• Flexible remote schedule built around your academic and professional commitments.

COMPENSATION

This is a paid internship through ZIP Launchpad and the Aztec Cooperative Fund. For more information, see the following: https://ziplaunchpad.sdsu.edu/paid-internship

We also offer a stipend for any tools or subscriptions needed for the role.
