Marketing Intern

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, and we're starting with electric watersport boats.
An electric boat is superior to a gas boat in almost every way: not only is it way easier to maintain (the single biggest pain point of owning a gas boat) and a lot cheaper to operate (a day of use costs ~$10 compared to ~$100 for a gas boat), but it’s also quieter, faster, more stable, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants.
Battery tech is finally good enough to pull this off, but a truly performant electric boat also requires a strong, lightweight hull to accommodate the large battery. With years of experience in aerospace manufacturing, we believe we can disrupt the gasoline boating industry through first principle engineering, innovative production techniques, and a scrappy start-up approach to problem solving.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for a marketing intern that is excited by our vision, eager for the challenge, and willing to learn on the job.
This role will primarily be focused on supporting our Marketing Lead in building excitement and demand for our boats.

This role is based onsite at our Los Angeles office.

You’re always welcome to reach out even if you don’t meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.
What we value
We value these three things above all else:
- Empathy, for colleagues and for customers
- Pragmatism, for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
- Diversity, of background, opinion, culture, etc.
Given that we’re a small team working in a sometimes intense or stressful environment, it’s vital that our values align. We’d be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process.

- Talented teammates that challenge you to be better
- Access to and input over many aspects of the business
- An opportunity to have an outsized impact on industry-defining vehicles
