🎓 About the role

Are you looking for a remote internship to accelerate your career in the for-good sector? GVI is looking for an intern to join the marketing team.

🎉 Benefits

We’re not interested in empty perks like having a coffee culture.

Here’s what our global team enjoys:

• Half days on the first Friday of each quarter
• Collaborative, flexible culture
• Transparency – hear directly from the CEO consistently
• We laugh a lot, genuinely care about and support each other, and do the occasional dress-up
