ABOUT VEG

In 2014, VEG was born with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most by challenging norms and fixing the ER experience. Since then, we've expanded rapidly, with hospitals nationwide open 24/7/365, and created an ER experience that focuses on what our pets and pet parents really need. We've done the same for our people (VEGgies), finding a way to say YES so they are empowered to achieve great things, grow in unexpected ways, and find a place where they truly belong.

We're rethinking emergency care from every angle—from how we run our hospitals to how we support the people working inside them. That's where our headquarters team comes in. Whether building technology to make our hospitals more efficient, recruiting and growing incredible VEGgies, or bringing our brand to life through marketing, our VQ (VEG Headquarters) team makes it all possible—ensuring our hospitals and people have everything they need to help pets and their families.

VEG is a 2025 and 2026 certified Great Place to Work®.

THE JOB

At VEG, we find a way to say YES—so you can push boundaries, think creatively, and make an impact. The Event and Employer Brand Intern plays a hands-on role in bringing VEG's events, brand experiences, and culture storytelling to life. This 6 month internship sits at the intersection of event execution, employer brand, merchandising, and content, supporting both the experiences we create and how we share them.

You'll be deeply involved in the full event lifecycle—helping plan, prep, and execute events, while also supporting on-site coordination, vendor management, and post-event wrap-ups. Alongside events, you'll contribute to the day-to-day operations of the VEG Store, including inventory management, fulfillment, and limited-edition product launches.

You'll also be supporting the Employer Brand team on culture and storytelling initiatives, including campaign coordination, content support, and light reporting and insights.

Working across teams including Events, Marketing, Talent, and Operations, you'll gain exposure to experiential marketing, employer brand, and nonprofit initiatives. Your time will be balanced across key focus areas: VEG Cares and Culture initiatives, internal events and conferences, the VEG Store, and Employer Brand storytelling.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and is excited to contribute to meaningful, high-impact brand experiences that reflect what it means to be VEG: open, supportive, and not normal.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Provide support for end-to-end execution of industry conferences and VEG internal events, including planning, logistics, vendor coordination, and on-site operations.
• Support communications for events and brand experiences, including crafting pre-event messaging and recaps.
• Help manage operational and administrative needs for our VEG Store, including merch inventory and fulfillment, sample coordination, and shipping.
• Support Employer Brand storytelling by helping gather stories and content, and project managing to ensure information is collected and given to creative team in a timely manner
• Contribute to culture projects and internal initiatives by collecting content, tracking engagement, pulling and organizing data (e.g., social, survey, and platform metrics)

WHAT YOU NEED

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Marketing, Communications, Event Management, or a related field.
• A strong interest in events, brand storytelling, experiential marketing, brand building, and employee experience.
• Exceptional organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and keep details on track
• Strong storytelling instincts, with the ability to identify meaningful moments and help translate them into clear, engaging narratives
• Comfort working with data and insights, including pulling, organizing, and synthesizing information (e.g., surveys, engagement metrics, or reporting dashboards)
• Strong communication skills and comfort collaborating with many stakeholders.
• A proactive, detail-oriented mindset with a willingness to jump in and support where needed
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities

WHO YOU ARE

• Empathetic, instinctively taking a people-centric approach, whether supporting your colleagues or making an effort to understand different perspectives
• Have a sense of humility; acknowledging mistakes, sharing credit with others, and lifting up your team's' accomplishments
• Feel a strong sense of ownership over your work, taking responsibility for outcomes and staying committed to achieving long-term, impactful results
• Curious by nature; you ask insightful questions and continuously seek out opportunities to learn and grow your skills and knowledge

HOW WE INVEST IN YOU

• Paid 6 month internship at $25 per hour with a flexible schedule (maximum of 40 hours per week).
• And the little (big) things, like casual office attire, ability to bring your fur baby to work, cool VEG swag, food in the fridge for when you're hungry and free lunches twice a week!!
• Company laptop

BETTER TOGETHER: WHY IN-PERSON MATTERS AT VEG HQ

Our hospitals thrive on in-person collaboration, and VQ is no different. Time in the office sparks stronger connections, meaningful conversations, and better results—all bringing our core values to life. We prioritize being present because our values are best achieved side by side. Plus, we make getting here easy with free parking and a shuttle from the White Plains Metro-North station.

DEI

At VEG, diversity is not just a word—it's a strength that fuels innovation and kindness. Our mission is "Helping people and their pets when they need it most." And we do that better when our VEGgies (employees) feel valued, respected, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. That's why we're devoted to creating an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve—where different perspectives are not only welcomed but celebrated.

We are focused on providing equitable opportunities for growth, promoting inclusive decision-making, and ensuring that everyone's perspective is considered. Saying yes to VEG means helping us build a culture where your unique experiences and background contribute to a shared vision: being the world's veterinary emergency company.
