The Role Zipline is looking for a Marketing Operations & Project Management Intern to help our marketing and creative teams bring ideas to life. You’ll help organize incoming requests, track project timelines, and make it easier for teams to see what needs to happen next. You’ll work alongside experienced marketers and creative partners on campaigns, launches, and brand projects. This is a hands-on opportunity to learn how work moves from an initial request to a finished customer experience, while helping the team stay organized along the way. What You'll Do • Help maintain project plans and trackers so owners, deadlines, and next steps are clear. • Gather information for new marketing requests and help ensure each project has a clear goal, list of deliverables, and timeline. • Follow up with team members on project updates and flag missing information or possible delays early. • Prepare meeting agendas and follow through with owners to keep decisions and action items moving. • Help coordinate meetings, kick offs, reviews and approvals for creative work across marketing teams. • Organize project files, templates, and process guides so information is easy to find. • Support campaign and production logistics, such as tracking deliverables, vendor details, and launch checklists, with guidance from the team. • Look for simple ways to make recurring work easier and help document improvements.

Candidates must have completed at least the second year of their undergraduate studies. • Interest in marketing, creative work, operations, or project management. • Strong organization skills and attention to detail. • Clear, thoughtful communication and comfort following up with people across teams. • Ability to manage several assignments, ask questions, and raise concerns when priorities or deadlines are unclear. • A willingness to learn new tools and improve how work gets done. • Experience with a project management tool is helpful, but not required. We care more about your curiosity, follow-through, and ability to bring clarity to a busy team. What Success Looks Like • Team members can quickly see the status, owner, and next step for the projects you support. • Meetings have clear agendas, and decisions lead to completed actions. • Missing details and potential delays are surfaced early. • Project information is accurate, organized, and easy to find. • You leave the internship with practical experience helping marketing and creative projects move from planning to launch.
