AI Growth Marketing Intern

We build AI that saves companies thousands of hours. Almost nobody knows we exist yet. That’s your job.

Apply — it’s kind of fun Read the role first

Fair warning: the application is a mini audition. If that excites you, keep reading.

We’re Hourglass. We rebuild companies around AI — recruiters, property firms, family offices. Our own marketing right now is… us, occasionally, between builds. We want someone who lives on the internet to own it.

The job, in plain English

Three things are non-negotiable.

Nail these and you’re winning:

The podcast

Edit it, clip it, make it travel. Turn one 30-min recording into a week of content.

The newsletter

Write the thing people actually open. Our brain is full of gold - your job is to mine it.

LinkedIn & socials

You own the channels. Post, test, learn, repeat. This is the engine room.

Then: go wild. 🚀

Beyond those three, the channels are yours to invent. TikTok? YouTube Shorts? A meme account that somehow closes enterprise deals? If you can argue it’ll grow us, run the experiment. We’d rather you tried ten things and two worked than waited for permission.

Who you actually are

You post, you don't just scroll. You've got a profile with a track record - because posting is the hard part, and you've already done the reps.
You can turn a rough recording into something people actually finish watching.
You'd rather ship a B+ post today than a perfect one next week.
You don't need a 20-page brand guideline to get moving.

You do not need:

A marketing degree
5 years of experience
To have done this exact job before

We care what you’ve made, not where you studied.

What’s in it for you

More than a line on your CV.

Paid, from day one

Contractor setup with flexible hours - ramp up as you grow into the role. (No, it's not an unpaid internship.)

Access to the Hourglass brain

An unfair content-generation advantage most marketers would kill for. It's yours.

Real ownership

This isn't fetching coffee. You own a function, and you own the results.

Grow with us

Do this well and there's a full-time seat - with equity - down the track.

How it works

We move fast. So should you.

You apply

~15 minutes. It's the audition.

We review

Within a week. We read every one.

Quick chat

With Michael & Finlay.

Trial project

Real work, real feedback.

The application is the interview

No cover letter. Just show us you can do the thing.

Fifteen minutes, tops. We read every single one — and we might just run the best submissions as real posts.

Your name *

Email *

1. Link your socials *

We want to see you in the wild. Posting is the hard part — show us you already do it.

2. Your best-performing post or video *

In one line, why did it work?

3. If you could only do THREE things to grow Hourglass, what would they be? *

4. The real challenge — make something out of this.

Here’s a raw, unedited recording of the two of us (Michael & Finlay) figuring out our content strategy — messy, real, shard-of-light-through-Michael’s-head and all. Take it and make something we’d actually publish: a clip, a short video, a blog post, a LinkedIn post — whatever. Edit it hard, make us look good, make it engaging. Use AI as much as you can (Claude or Codex ideal — but bring whatever tools you like; we care about the output, not the toolchain). Then paste a link to what you made.

Optional, but this is the one that separates you. Bonus points if you post it — see step 5.

5. The bold move (optional — but we’re watching)

Post publicly on your own socials, tell the world why you’d be great for this, and tag us so it lands in our feed. Most people won’t. That’s rather the point.
