Kickstart Intern (Marketing and Operations)

Want to be a part of a startup journey? Wriggle is reimagining gifting through beautiful sustainable gift-boxes of craft food & drink. This is a brand new adventure - up until Covid, Wriggle has been a well-known food & drink mobile app - so our experienced team is exploring an exciting new opportunity. We're now on the lookout for a Marketing and Operations Intern to join our team, through the government’s Kickstart scheme, and grow with us.

This role is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to start their career in either marketing and operations, but also get a flavour for the cut and thrust of startup life. You'll work directly with our engaging and entrepreneurial team in Bristol to help us, on the marketing side, develop a creative strategy, manage social media accounts, and assist in content creation (from photography to written articles), and on the operations side, manage stock, build product, and get a grasp of financial modelling.

We have a lot of new ideas up our sleeves, so it's a very exciting time to be a part of Wriggle. And, in a small team, you'll be at the heart of our organisation - working directly with the CEO and Heads of Marketing and Operations.

Please note, this job is part of the Kickstart Scheme, and is only open to people aged 16-24, who are currently unemployed and in receipt of Universal Credit. Find out more about the Kickstart scheme here.
