About the Role

The Marketing & Communications Intern will help own the day-to-day marketing and communications function at inara and shape how the company, Community Capital, and our work across Boston are represented publicly. This is a highly hands-on role for someone who wants real ownership. You will be responsible for turning what is happening across inara into compelling content, campaigns, stories, and experiences that strengthen the brand and increase awareness among institutions, community organizations, employers, and the communities we serve. You will work closely with the founder and broader team to identify stories worth telling across Community Capital Access Programs, Understanding Your Relationship With Money, Community Capital Listening Sessions, institutional partnerships, community events, company milestones, and the broader development of Community Capital as a category. The role will also support campaign development, media and public relations opportunities, community storytelling, event promotion, performance tracking, and continuous improvement of how inara reaches and engages its audiences. The goal is to help build a marketing system that consistently captures what inara is doing, communicates why it matters, and strengthens the company’s position as the infrastructure for structured community capital. This is a full-time internship based in Boston, MA, with a hybrid work structure. There is an opportunity to grow into a long-term role for the right person based on performance, ownership, and company needs.

• Support media outreach, press opportunities, announcements, and public relations efforts as the company grows.
• Track content and campaign performance and use data to improve reach, engagement, awareness, and conversion.
• Help build repeatable marketing workflows and systems so the function can operate consistently without constant founder direction.
