Join the Frontline Ventures team:

We’re hiring for a part-time Marketing Ops Intern!

Frontline Ventures is an early-stage technology VC based in London and Dublin. We are wholly committed to community — the portfolio of entrepreneurs we have invested in, the larger European tech context from which we were born, and the LPs who fuel our journey.

We have a portfolio of 20+ companies throughout Ireland and the UK, with a focus on pre-seed and seed-stage startups. At the moment, we are a scrappy team of 5, working with and alongside our investee companies. Frontline is looking for an energetic and passionate part-time Marketing Ops Intern!

What is the role?

As our portfolio continues to grow, we are widening our marketing efforts in both Ireland and the UK. We are seeking part-time marketing and communications help to join the Dublin-based team to work directly under our Head of Platform, Kim Pham. The ideal candidate would commit ~15–20 hours a week.

What will your responsibilities be?

Your work will have you helping form and execute on Frontline’s marketing and communications strategy, including:

• Assisting in community and portfolio communications: social, email, etc.
• Event planning and management (monthly portfolio workshops, social events, etc.)
• Writing press, marketing, and social collateral
• General researching
• Developing and contributing to the blog content and schedule
• Designing and editing written, audio, and video content
• Occasional support in other areas of the business

Note: this is not an investment role. We are a small and close-knit team, so you will get exposure to the investment process — but your primary focus will be on marketing and communications.

Who would do well in this role?

You are most likely a current student or recent graduate looking to kickstart a career in early-stage technology / startups.

Must-haves:

• Proactive: Our team works pretty autonomously, so it is important that you are a self-starter. There may be some days where only half the team is in the office, so you should thrive when given independence.
• A love for the startup ecosystem: You should have a strong interest in early-stage companies and their journeys. Our work means that we are living and breathing startups everyday.
• A can-do attitude: We are a very independent team, so you should be able to multitask and prioritise projects. You will “own” a lot of stuff, and that should excite you!
• Advanced web tool / social media expertise: Twitter, Medium, LinkedIn, Trello, Slack, Dropbox, Mailchimp, etc. should all be in your repertoire.
• Strong attention to detail: Some people call you obsessive, we call you thorough. You will be creating and editing a lot of content, so leave no grammatical stone unturned!
• Strong written and verbal communication skills: This role will have you interacting with our portfolio founders, the Frontline team, and the larger tech community. You need to be thoughtful, energetic, and tactful in your communication.

Nice-to-haves:

• An understanding of the larger Ireland/UK startup and VC landscape.
• An understanding of the Frontline portfolio.
• Experience in PR and/or design tools (InDesign, Photoshop, etc.).
• Operating experience in a startup.

What does Frontline offer you?

We have been carefully building our culture and team since 2013, and hope that you will love coming into work as much as we do. We are offering this part-time Marketing Ops Intern:

• A fun and challenging part-time role for 4–6 months (with potential for an extended/full-time position, pending performance).
• A competitive hourly stipend.
• A fun office in Dublin’s city centre at the intersection of Silicon Docks x SOBO (we share the space with one of our portfolio companies).
• Flexible hours.
• An independent and autonomous work environment.
• Access to different parts of the venture capital business — investment, operations, platform.
• Monthly team lunches and activities.
• Direct mentorship from our Head of Platform.
