Lipstick & Politics offers four to six month internships for undergraduate students and recent graduates. These internships are great opportunities for potential interns to become familiar with digital media site management and start-up company demands. Interns will get hands-on experience in content creation, social media marketing, event planning, and more. They can expect to make a notable impact on the site and assist in the growth of our burgeoning company. But most of all, interns will become integral in our goal to be a resource for modern-day women and men.
Our internships offer credit for classes, if applicable. These intern positions are unpaid and come with a stipend for food and travel expenses. We will only consider candidates based in San Francisco or in the city’s immediate proximity. For potential candidates located further away from San Francisco, L&P allows only 1 remote internship. This remote internship is available only to the most suitable applicants.
We will update this page when we are accepting applications for intern positions. You may also check Internships.com for any of our open positions. If you are eligible for any of our internships, please send a cover letter and resume to email@lipstickandpolitics.com.
