AI Automation Internship

Put "Automation is cool" as the first line of your cover letter or subject line, or your application won't be reviewed.

Who We Are

Single Grain is an award winning digital marketing agency that partners with innovators like Amazon, Uber, and Salesforce. We drive persistent growth through Paid Media, SEO, Content Marketing—and now cutting edge AI automation. Our mission is to level up every human by moving the marketing industry forward.

Who You Are

As an AI Automation Intern, you transform high leverage ideas into working agentic workflows that save time or generate revenue for our teams and clients.

You:
• Live and breathe AI—new models, forums, and tools are your nightly reading
