Summer Marketing Intern

Blue J’s ambition is to be the world leader in generative AI for tax experts. We’re a B2B SaaS company whose customers are accountants and lawyers, and our AI-tax research software is widely regarded as the best in the market. We are racing ahead with an exciting product development roadmap to continue to delight our customers and to ensure that our users can generate the very best possible tax research answers in the service of their clients in record time.

We have recently hired a new VP of Marketing, and are expanding the scope of Blue J's marketing function. We have some exciting projects coming up throughout the summer, and are looking for a Summer Marketing Intern to support our team until the end of August, 2024.

Reporting to our VP, Marketing, the Summer Marketing Intern will support efforts across marketing. With a specific focus on marketing administration and event support, the Summer Intern will assist with tactics across all marketing functions, including digital and traditional channels. This role will provide an excellent opportunity to learn and build a strong foundation in marketing.

You'll get to work closely with and learn from two amazing marketing professionals, and get hands on experience at a growing AI scale-up. This is an entry level role, and the most important things we're looking for in our dream candidate are attention to detail, critical thinking, and initiative.

A note on location: We are excited to meet candidates and are grateful for everyone's interest. While this role is listed as hybrid, you'll have the option to go into our downtown-Toronto office, work remotely, or choose a mix of both! All applicants must be legally eligible to work in Canada.
