How'd you like to work for reddit? For the first time ever, we're looking to bring on summer interns (or, for that matter, interns for any future quarter). One position is open in San Francisco and one in New York City. Responsibilities will include:
- San Francisco: Manage relationships with merchandise providers, manage licensing agreements, help negotiate new licensing agreements, manage workflow of merchandise production from end to end, assist with site and advertiser feedback. Hang out with the reddit engineers in our terrarium conveniently located inside the Wired Magazine offices (overlooking South Park in SOMA, close to BART and CalTrain). Expected commitment is 20 hours a week.
- New York: Business development and marketing duties would include finding and managing relationships with potential advertising sponsors and publishing partners. Expected to work on reddit projects for 20 hours a week. Can work from home or school, but weekly in-person meetings will be required at the famous Conde Nast headquarters in Times Square ... or some swanky coffee shop.
- Requirements for both internships: smart, active reddit
addict user, self-starter, good at pub trivia, willing to play or learn to play strategy board games (Carcassone, Settlers, etc.) in the off times (there aren't many). Extra points for willingness to try Starcraft 2 (if you can believe the release dates). Level 60+ WoW character a plus. Please include character race, class, and spec (girl characters are a-okay, but hunters need not apply).
Along with your resume please include the answers to the following questions:
- What is your user name?
- What is your karma?
- What is your favorite color?
- What quarter(s) are you available?
- What city are you applying for?
- Have you ever run a marketing campaign for anything (club, social event, etc.)?
- Do you have any familiarity with the production of T-shirts or other such merchandise? (It's okay if you don't.)
Internships are unpaid (or at least not paid very well -- lunch plus commute time) and intended for course credit. However, you get a rare look at the inside of reddit (and Conde Nast / Wired), and you'll be doing actual real stuff, not sitting around filing uparrows or running out for coffee. If you're interested, please contact us at
internship@reddit.com. Please check with your college on eligibility requirements: we're legally required to ask you for a Letter of Credit.
