About the Internship

We are looking for two highly motivated and detail-oriented Events Marketing Interns to join and support the event charter of the Strategic Events and Experiences team, individuals responsible for executing world-class brand experiences, from our large-scale user conference Oktane to third-party industry trade shows. 

The ideal candidate will work closely with the Strategic Events and Experiences team and cross-functional stakeholders to bring our events to life. 

What You’ll Get to Do:

  • Project Management & Logistics: Managing timelines, trackers, and deliverables to ensure our initiatives and programs run like clockwork
  • Internal Comms: Support the creation of internal comms (such as internal newsletters, Slack updates, field overview guides, etc.) to drive company-wide alignment.
  • Audience Acquisition: Support the execution of multi-channel campaigns to drive event attendance and monitor registration pacing and data to identify trends and help the team adjust strategy in real-time
  • Breakout Sessions & Content Logistics: Support with speaker communications, deck collection, and session scheduling trackers
  • Event Technology & Infrastructure: Support the testing and QA of the mobile event app and event website to capture elements that ensure a seamless attendee experience 
  • Communication: Collaborate with Strategic Events Marketing Managers and internal stakeholders across different time zones

Who We are Looking For

  • Current Enrollment: Pursuing a degree in Marketing, Communications, Hospitality, or a related field with an expected graduation date of Dec. 2026 or May/June 2027
  • The "Event Brain": Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple moving parts. You thrive on checklists and deadlines.
  • Communication Style: Exceptional written and verbal communication. You can pivot from professional correspondence to punchy internal Slack updates.
  • Adaptability: A "no task is too small" attitude and the flexibility to pivot when event plans change (because they always do).
  • Tech Savvy: Familiarity with (or a strong desire to learn) marketing technology like Salesforce, Marketo, Slack, and RainFocus/Cvent.
  • A Plus if you have:
    • Prior internship experience in marketing or a related field

Tips for Applying

If you are tailoring your resume for this, emphasize any experience where you managed multiple moving parts (e.g., club leadership, previous internships, or hospitality experience). Okta loves candidates who show "ownership" and aren't afraid to dive into the data.
