Creative Intern, Creator Marketing

Patreon is the best place for creators to fire up their fandoms, share exclusive work, and turn their passions into lasting creative businesses. Over 250,000 podcasters, writers, musicians, artists, and other creative people use Patreon to reach their biggest fans directly and earn an income for the value they provide. Creators can offer paid memberships that unlock access to exclusive work and community, or sell individual digital items from their own Patreon shops.

Ultimately, our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we’re leaders in that space, having sent over $3.5 billion to creators since our founding. We’re continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator tools with the best team in the creator economy, and are looking for a Creative Intern in Creator Marketing to support our mission.

This internship is a dynamic, 12-week summer program (May - September 2024), based in our San Francisco office. It caters to those able to embrace a hybrid work model, requiring in-office presence two days per week.
