Marketing Intern (Summer/Fall 2026)

West Paw is a 30-year-old Bozeman business known for its planet and people-friendly dog toys and treats. As a Certified B Corp for 13 years, West Paw has long set a high bar for making the best for dogs. Our 36,000-square-foot Bozeman operation houses every role from sales and marketing to product development, production, shipping, IT, and finance. By bringing a diverse group of people together in one facility and being Dog's Best Friend, we get to have fun in our jobs while enjoying plenty of dogs in the offices and factory.

Position Overview

We have an exciting opportunity this summer (and preferably, continuing into the fall) for a talented, multifaceted Marketing Intern. Working a total of 8-10 hours per week, partly at our Bozeman, Montana, offices, and partly off-site, we are ideally looking for a junior, senior, or master's degree student with a background in social media, graphic design, video, and content creation, particularly TikTok-style videos/posts. We envision the role partly as a marketer, partly as a graphic designer, working alongside the Revenue team on activities and projects encompassing social media, digital brand presence, product launches, promotions, and other Marketing efforts directly tied to revenue generation.

This role requires someone who can easily pivot from one priority to another as needed but can also work independently, ensuring standard tasks are completed on a consistent cadence. You will be working with both internal West Paw team members and coordinating with external sales and marketing partners to ensure your work aligns with our overall efforts.

• E-mail Campaigns - Assist with e-mail marketing campaigns, including copywriting, scheduling, and post-campaign analytics.
