About Biome — The Outdoors App

Biome is revolutionizing how individuals connect with the outdoors and each other. We are an innovative social app designed for authentic, real-life experiences, moving away from the often-curated and artificial feeds prevalent in today’s digital landscape. Biome empowers users to genuinely share their everyday moments and adventures with friends – whether it’s a spontaneous post-class walk, a weekend escape, a team gathering, or an impromptu plan.

Our founding team comprises visionary leaders, including Princeton graduates, an Ironman founder, and D1 athletes from top-tier institutions. We don’t just build an app; we embody the active lifestyle and community we advocate for. Now, we’re extending a unique opportunity to a select group of passionate college students to join our mission and play a pivotal role in shaping how the next generation discovers, shares, and engages with real-life moments.

What You’ll Do:

As a Brand Marketing Intern, you will be an integral part of our community and growth strategy. Your responsibilities will include:

• Authentic Product Engagement: Actively use the Biome app on a weekly basis, interacting and posting content as a genuine user. This means sharing your actual experiences and moments, without any staged or promotional obligations, truly embodying the spirit of Biome.
• Grassroots Brand Advocacy: Naturally introduce Biome to your friends, social circles, and relevant campus groups where the app’s value proposition aligns organically with their interests and activities.
• Direct Product Influence: Provide critical, actionable feedback on app features, overall usability, and pinpoint what aspects of Biome resonate most effectively within a college campus environment. Your insights will directly inform product development.
• Strategic Contribution: Actively contribute innovative ideas and strategies related to user growth, compelling content creation, and fostering a vibrant community within the app.
• Collaborative Team Participation: Engage in regular group check-ins with the core Biome team, sharing updates, insights, and collaborating on ongoing initiatives.

This Role is a Great Fit If You:

• Are currently enrolled as a college student (undergraduate or graduate, any major is welcome).
• Possess a strong sense of community and are actively involved in campus life, such as Greek life, athletic teams, student clubs, or other campus organizations.
• Naturally spend a significant amount of time engaging in activities and experiences with your friends, reflecting the core use-case of Biome.
• Are a digitally native individual, comfortable and active on popular social platforms like Instagram, BeReal, or TikTok, understanding current social trends and user behaviors.
• Are eager to gain invaluable exposure to the dynamic world of startups, learn about strategic brand development, and understand the intricacies of early-stage growth within a tech company.

No formal marketing or startup experience is required – we value passion, genuine engagement, and a willingness to learn above all else.

What You’ll Gain:

This internship offers a unique opportunity for unparalleled professional and personal growth:

• Tangible Startup Experience: Acquire authentic, hands-on experience working within a fast-paced startup environment, providing compelling insights and examples to leverage in future interviews and career pursuits.
• Professional Endorsement: Receive a personalized letter of recommendation from the founding team upon successful completion of your internship, significantly boosting your academic and professional profile.
• Insider Access: Be among the first to experience and provide input on new app features and gain direct access to internal discussions shaping Biome’s future roadmap.
• Future Career Pathway: Earn priority consideration for potential future paid positions or leadership roles within Biome, offering a clear growth trajectory.
• Direct Mentorship: Benefit from the unique opportunity to work closely with the founding team, gaining direct insights into leadership, strategy, and entrepreneurial execution.
