Athlete Social Media & Influencer Marketing Intern

About Electro

Electro is the fastest-growing brand in college athletics. We make an electrolyte chewing gum for athletes: zero sugar, zero calories, and designed to hydrate faster than a sports drink. We've partnered with 13,000+ college athletes through NIL deals and work with 130+ NFL and NBA players.

About the internship

A remote internship on our NIL marketing team with rolling start dates: you can start as soon as you’re accepted, not next semester. You'll work directly with college athletes on NIL partnerships, support Electro's athlete-driven social media, and learn how a fast-growing brand builds its athlete network. You'll start connecting with athletes in your first week, with scripts, training, and support from our team.

What you'll do

• Pitch NIL partnership opportunities to college athletes through Instagram and email, starting in week one
• Manage athlete partnerships: answer questions, coordinate deliverables, and keep athletes supported
• Help plan and track athlete content for Electro's social channels
• Research athletes and creators who fit Electro's brand
• Track partnerships in our CRM and share results on weekly team calls

What you'll learn

• How NIL deals work and how brands structure athlete partnerships
• Social media and influencer marketing from inside a consumer brand
• Professional outreach, relationship management, and CRM skills

Schedule

10–15 hours per week for 12 weeks from your start date, remote within the US, with weekly team calls and check-ins.

Compensation and academic credit

This is an unpaid internship. It may be eligible for academic credit: your school makes the final decision, and we'll complete any paperwork it requires, such as hour logs, supervisor evaluations, and learning agreements. Interns never pay anything or buy product to take part.

What we're looking for

• Clear, professional writing
• Organized, reliable, and detail-oriented
• Interest in sports, social media, or NIL. No experience required; we train you from the start.

What you'll get

• Hands-on experience in NIL marketing, athlete partnerships, and social media
• Direct coaching from Electro's founders
• A letter of recommendation and certificate when you complete the program
