Content and Social Media Marketing Intern

We're an off-the-record YC company that's fresh out of the winter '14 batch and growing fast. Everyday our clients call and email to say that we're making them happy. And that feels great. We are looking to hire a content and social media marketing intern to conduct research, write a few blog posts per week, manage and grow our social media community, write and promote press-releases, and help with various other marketing initiatives. Come learn about the way a fast-growing startup works and use your creativity and passion for writing and marketing to help us build this company. Work with a down-to-earth, smart, and experienced start up team who will offer enough guidance to help you succeed and enough autonomy to have a real sense of ownership. Build your digital marketing skills and help us continue to accelerate our growth. We're looking for people who are curious, and clear communicators. People who love digging into complicated or intimidating subjects, and pulling out the important, urgent issues at their core, because what we're doing is important, and it is urgent. We're attacking a wasteful, insecure part of the home-buying process that costs Americans $50 billion a year, often causes them enormous stress, and sometimes exposes them to scary things like identity theft. Help us change an enormous and antiquated industry to make home buying better for consumers.
