At Piper & Gold, we know we have the power to change our community — and our world — for the better. We show up every day committed to supporting a more just, equitable society through communications.
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 coordinator to join P&G in January 2022.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect it has had on our agency, this position may work in different formats: remote, in-person or hybrid (a combination of remote and in-person). Options will be discussed at the time of the interview and as January approaches. The Piper & Gold team is currently fully remote and is expected to remain remote through at least November 2021.
We value your time and believe only in paid internships. We’re looking for students who can work about 20 hours per week. The anticipated start date for this position is Jan. 10, 2022.
Please note that the initial review of applications will begin Nov. 22. Applications submitted after that date will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
