Communications & Events Intern (Summer 2026)
Patreon is a media and community platform where over 300,000 creators give their biggest fans access to exclusive work and experiences. We offer creators a variety of ways to engage with their fans and build a lasting business including: paid memberships, free memberships, community chats, live video, and selling to fans directly with one-time purchases.
Ultimately our goal is simple: fund the creative class. And we're leaders in that space, with:
$10 billion+ in revenue generated since Patreon's inception
100 million+ free memberships for fans who may not be ready to pay just yet, and
25 million+ paid memberships on Patreon today.
We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Creator Strategy & Operations Intern to support our mission.
This internship is designed for those graduating between December 2026 through June 2027. Please only apply to one role that best fits your experience and interests. Multiple applications may result in a delayed application review.
This role is based in New York City and open to those who are able to be in-office 2 days per week on a hybrid work model. Our summer internship is a 12-week long program (May 18 - August 8 or June 22 - September 11).
