Bigo Live - Partnerships Intern

BIGO LIVE's US Partnerships team builds the relationships that bring new audiences, credibility, and cultural relevance to the platform — from talent and influencer partnerships to live events and brand activations across the US market. As a Partnerships Intern, you will sit at the center of that work: sourcing and researching potential partners, supporting outreach and follow-up, building the decks and one-pagers we put in front of talent and their teams, and tracking what each partnership actually delivered. This is a hands‑on role with real ownership — you will be in the room for partner calls and on‑site at activations, not watching from the sidelines. Contract Type: 3 months OR length of school semester/quarter corresponding to earning college credit Schedule: 4 days/week in office @ Century City office. Occasional evening or weekend hours during events and activations. What You'll Do: Partner Research & Pipeline Building Build and maintain prospect lists of creators, influencers, talent managers, agencies, venues, and brand partners relevant to BIGO LIVE's US audience. Source and verify contact information, audience data, and past brand collaborations to qualify partners before outreach. Keep the partnership pipeline and tracker accurate and current — status, owner, next step, and key dates for every opportunity. Research the competitive and cultural landscape: who competing platforms are partnering with, which creators and communities are rising, and where BIGO LIVE has an opening. Draft partner‑facing outreach — first‑touch emails, DMs, and follow‑ups — in BIGO's voice, and own the call scheduling process end to end. Support day‑to‑day communication with partners and their representatives, keeping response times fast and every commitment tracked. Take clear notes in partner calls and internal meetings, then convert them into action items, recaps, and follow‑ups. Events & Activations Support Support the planning and execution of BIGO LIVE events and brand activations — guest and talent lists, and logistics. Provide on‑site support during activations: talent check‑in, content capture, and real‑time problem solving. Build partner‑facing materials: pitch decks, one‑pagers, case studies, and post‑campaign recaps that make the BIGO LIVE opportunity clear and compelling. Assist in the brainstorming, creation, and proofing of partnership deliverables including video, stills, and banners that resonate with the BIGO brand. Qualifications: Junior/Senior year student enrolled in a college and pursuing a major in marketing, communications, business, entertainment/media management, or other relevant studies. Strong written communication — you can write an outreach email or a deck headline that someone actually wants to respond to. Highly organized and detail‑oriented; comfortable owning trackers, timelines, and follow‑ups without being chased. Strong research and analytical skills, with working proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and PowerPoint/Google Slides. Well versed in creator culture, live streaming, pop culture, and entertainment — you know who is interesting right now and can explain why. Familiarity with major social and creator platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, X, Facebook). Comfortable representing BIGO LIVE professionally with external partners, talent, and their representatives. Self‑starter with the ability to work independently and cross‑functionally in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment. Available for occasional evening/weekend event support in the Los Angeles area. Nice to Have: Prior internship or experience in talent management, influencer marketing, events, brand partnerships, or entertainment. Photography, video editing, or graphic design skills. What You'll Get: Direct exposure to how partnerships are sourced, pitched, negotiated, and measured at a global platform with 400M+ users. Real ownership of a workstream — your research and materials go in front of partners, not into a folder. Mentorship from the US Partnerships team and cross‑functional exposure to Marketing, Content, Account Management, and Business Intelligence. Eligible for college credit where your school program allows. #J-18808-Ljbffr BIGO
