Marketing Intern [CLOSED]

Our product

Wren is a web app that makes it easy for anyone to calculate and offset their carbon footprint through a monthly subscription. Through a series of questions, the website calculates your carbon footprint and offsets your emissions so you can live climate neutral.

Subscribers choose to offset through a specific project, and then monthly updates are sent showing the progress their project made, like photos of the trees planted or satellite imagery of the rainforest protected.

You can see what's next for our product on our public roadmap. Our product is still early and there's a lot we want to add. Maybe you can help us!

Our mission

Wren's mission is to help end the climate crisis.

We plan to do this by empowering individuals. Individuals are the atoms that make up society. We need systemic change in order to mitigate the climate crisis, and systemic change comes from individuals.

Wren is a mission-driven business backed by mission-aligned investors like Y Combinator, Union Square Ventures, LocalGlobe, and many wonderful angel investors, including Paul Graham and Yancey Strickler.

We wrote a legally-binding Charter as part of our incorporation as a Public Benefit Corporation earlier in 2020. In the charter, we commit to being radically transparent, always evaluating our own effectiveness, and being a role model for how corporations should act. These are values that we expect every member of the Wren team to uphold.

Why this Role?

1. Work on ending the climate crisis. Help launch campaigns that show the world we can end the climate crisis—it will just take work. Be a voice inspiring change.
2. Learn firsthand how new ideas catch-on. Marketing to the first ten thousand user is a unique challenge, and there's few ways to learn how it's done. Join us to see what marketing at a startup looks like!
3. Work with an amazing team. You'll work closely with the cofounders of Wren, who launched it a year ago while they were USC students. We all really care about ending the climate crisis and work hard toward that goal, but we also like to smile, laugh, and have fun :)
4. Have an impact. Your work will directly influence thousands of people to take action against climate change.
