POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: FALL MARKETING INTERN
FALL 2009
Social Venture Technology Group (SVT) is a San Francisco-based advisory firm specializing
in the measurement, management and communication of social and environmental impact.
SVT is a leader in this emerging field, and working to advance the widespread adoption of tools that make information about impact a strategic asset to both managers and investors. We believe that when impact is systematically articulated and managed, investment will flow to those organizations that create positive impact. Our work involves analysis, tool customization and implementation, and field-building R&D.
SVT seeks a Fall Marketing Intern to assist with a variety of tasks as described below. This program lasts 3-6 months. Applicants should have at least 1 year of work experience, and those with more work experience, and/or graduate students are especially encouraged to apply. Responsibilities will be adjusted based on prior experience. We will approve school credit when appropriate.
Goals
The goals for the intern(s) are to:
1) Gain practical knowledge in the analysis of non-financial value and social return on investment;
2) Understand manager and investor motivations for doing this type of analysis;
3) Gain insight into the market for this service and the field as a whole; and
4) Develop real-world experience working in an entrepreneurial business environment on marketing, operations management and other projects.
SVT’s goals are to:
1) Obtain practical assistance with a variety of marketing, operations, communications, web and other projects;
2) Build relationships with potential employees or contributors to the field; and
3) Help train individuals who are interested in social and environmental impact measurement and SROI analysis.
Description of work
The SVT Marketing Internship is best suited for candidates who aspire to become web managers, social media whizzes, marketing gurus, information design artists, or work in other careers that require a high level of creativity and proactivity. Depending on the intern’s interests and background, this position could provide a wealth of opportunities to take ownership of innovative marketing projects for a unique and evolving company.
The internship will involve assisting SVT partners Sara Olsen and Brett Galimidi in several areas which could include: creating marketing language and press releases; building relationships with the media; increasing SVT’s online presence through several different channels; developing and maintaining the company website development; office management; and administrative support to all of the above. Some daily tasks will depend on the business in-house at the time of the internship.
While SVT cannot guarantee the specific nature of projects, we make every effort to ensure the intern experience yields both learning and adds practical value to SVT. Tasks will depend upon the intern’s skills, qualifications and interests, and may include:
