As part of a fast-growing company, you'll partner with internal teams and clients to shape and execute performance-driven marketing strategies that deliver real results. If you're analytical, creative, and ready to build genuine AI fluency , this role is built for you. AI is a core part of how we work at WITHIN, which means the routine work gets handled faster and you spend more time on strategy, client relationships, and the decisions that actually drive results. That opportunity comes with a real expectation: you need to push yourself to be genuinely good at using AI tools, not just passingly familiar.

• Affiliate Marketing : Understand how brands collaborate with partners to drive traffic and conversions through commission-based strategies.

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO) : Gain insights into optimizing website content and structure to improve search engine rankings and organic visibility.

• Influencer Marketing : Explore how brands collaborate with influencers to build awareness, drive engagement, and generate conversions.

• Retail Media : Discover how brands advertise on e-commerce platforms (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, TikTok Shop, etc.) to increase product visibility and sales.

AI & Automation in Marketing : Learn how to use AI tools to accelerate campaign analysis, build performance summaries, and support data-driven decision-making. At WITHIN, AI is part of every team's daily workflow, and you'll develop fluency with these tools from day one, freeing you to focus on the strategic and creative work that drives client results.
