Shift Markets was founded in 2009, as a leader in traditional finance and the FX space. Sensing the seismic shifts taking place in the financial industry and recognizing the disruptive power of digital assets, we made it our mission to make these decentralized trends accessible to every business, from market leaders to small retailers.

We are offering an internship opportunity in Partnership Marketing, which begins at the start of the intern’s Spring 2024 semester and concludes before the start of the intern’s following semester.  As our Spring 2024 Marketing intern, your areas of focus will be product, events, partnerships, and social media.  You’ll be regularly interacting with members of the Marketing team and will be mentored by our Head of Event & Partnership Marketing.  Qualified candidates for this internship are current students who have completed all coursework for their sophomore or junior year.  Ideal candidates are detail oriented, able to project manage, can be trusted to take initiative, and are humble in their work.

Internships at Shift Markets are designed to provide students with hands-on training, similar to a university lab course, which enriches the educational experience.  The goal is to add professional context to the student’s specialized academic program for the upcoming academic year.  A major in Marketing (or a related major, such as Business Administration), is best suited for tying this internship to an academic program.
