We all want to wake up every day knowing we’re going to accomplish something that matters. At Piper & Gold, we are committed to inspiring hope and leading change. We do this by standing up for our communities and for the organizations and people we serve. We look for the light in the darkness, and we know each of us has the power to be that light.
If you’re looking for an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than yourself, we’d love to have you as a part of our team! We are looking for a public relations student strategist to join P&G in May 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect it has had on our agency, this position may work in different formats: remote, possibly in-person or hybrid (a combination of remote and in-person) in the future. Options will be discussed at the time of the interview and as May approaches. The Piper & Gold team is currently fully remote due to the pandemic and is expected to remain remote through at least September 2021.
We value your time and believe only in paid internships. We’re looking for students who can work about 20 hours per week.
