About NPOC Wellness & Hydration
NPOC Wellness & Hydration is a Maryland-based clinical wellness brand offering IV hydration therapy, medical weight management (GLP-1), peptide therapy, NAD+/NIAGEN® IV therapy, supplements, and a growing aesthetics service line including Botox, hydrodermabrasion, and esthetician-led skincare. We deliver premium, evidence-based wellness with a whole-patient care philosophy. We are owned and operated by a board-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with 15+ years of clinical experience.
We are building a high-performing marketing function and are looking for a motivated intern who wants real-world experience in healthcare and wellness brand-building, with potential to grow into a long-term Marketing Coordinator role.

Position Summary
The Marketing Intern supports the execution of NPOC's marketing, content, and partnership initiatives across all service lines. This is a hands-on execution role: you will produce, schedule, and report on content created within brand and clinical guidelines set by leadership. You will not independently develop clinical claims, negotiate partnership terms, or approve final published content, but you will own the day-to-day rhythm that keeps our brand visible, engaging, and growing.
This role is ideal for a marketing, communications, public health, business, or related student/recent grad who wants healthcare brand experience and is excited about wellness, aesthetics, and integrative care.

• Research and build prospect lists for potential gym, corporate wellness, Chamber, and community partners
• Draft outreach emails and follow-up sequences using leadership-approved templates

What You'll Learn

• End-to-end content production cycles in a regulated industry
• Local SEO and reputation management for multi-location healthcare practices
