Summer Intern - Financial PR
📋 Role Overview & Responsibilities
🗽🏆😎 About Us – We’re an NYC-based full-service communications agency serving financial and professional services firms. That covers every expert and every business or idea under the sun, from blockchain to ESG, from fintech to taxes, from private equity to banking, from...you get the idea. Our small but mighty team works from the office together one day a week and from home the rest of the way.
❓📰🤔 About the Internship – We’re looking for a part-time, paid summer intern (~20 hours/week). The dates and hours are flexible. Responsibilities will include: research, media list development, media outreach, writing (e.g., press releases, blogs, social copy, etc.), and agency marketing. You'll have the opportunity to work with the whole team and report to Jesse Chen, AVP and head of our ESG and Sustainability work.
🤸♀️🧘♂️🧠 About You – We want to work with other people who are hard-working and intellectually curious. That's people who are excited to gain PR experience and discover new ideas. Ideally you’re a rising senior that might be interested in working in PR full-time one day, but we’re also open to chatting with current seniors if it’s a good fit. It’s okay if you don’t have any relevant experience, but if you do we’d love to know about it! It’s helpful to have prior experience in PR/communications, social media, marketing, journalism, and/or finance/economics. Experience can be from coursework or any prior role, e.g. internship/job/extracurricular/volunteer. No specific majors/minors required.
📝📥🎟 How to Apply - Please email jesse@waterandwall.com with your LinkedIn profile and resume. Include a BRIEF (yes, we really mean it) note about your interest in the role and any relevant background, and let us know what you’re reading/watching/listening to at the moment, so we know that you read this all the way through. Please write “Internship Application – [YOUR NAME]” in the subject line. No need for a formal cover letter—you don’t want to write it, we don’t want to read it! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Jesse. Applications accepted on a rolling basis through 4/22, but the sooner the better.
