Stripe 4.5
Journalist internship job in San Francisco, CA
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
About the team
The Communications team builds and protects Stripe's brand and influence across the world. Video and audio are increasingly important tools in shaping the world's understanding of Stripe and the fantastic companies using our infrastructure to grow-accelerating economies, creating industries, and reinventing business models in the process.
What you'll do
You'll be the engine of Stripe's short-form video strategy, making our content essential viewing for the world's most ambitious founders, operators, developers, and economists. Your mission is to take our rich library of content-from fireside chats with industry leaders to deep dives on the global economy-and distill it into intelligent, substantial clips (on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and more). This isn't about chasing empty clicks; it's about earning the attention and trust of a highly discerning audience. You will also own our YouTube and Instagram video presence, transforming them into platforms renowned for their insight and quality. You'll wear a lot of hats: producer, video editor, content commissioner, social media channel strategist, measurement aficionado, and more.
Responsibilities
Own Stripe's YouTube channel and Instagram Reels, focused on providing additive insight to our core community of founders, developers, and thinkers.
Edit clips from Stripe's long-form content (e.g., Cheeky Pint, firesides from Stripe Sessions and Tours), with an exceptional eye for the most salient moments and nuanced arguments.
Manage the end-to-end publishing process, including writing sharp, SEO-optimized titles and descriptions that speak to an intelligent audience.
Continuously run experiments with formats, narrative structures, and editing styles (e.g., archival b-roll and graphic overlays) to discover what resonates most strongly.
Advise partner teams developing video content (e.g., teams running webinars or events featuring Stripe customers) on how to optimize recordings and edits for the internet.
Commission and manage the creation of other short-form assets, including high-quality animations and motion graphics, to support product launches and partnership announcements.
Analyze performance data and qualitative feedback to refine our video strategy, ensuring every piece of content adds value and strengthens our brand.
Own metrics and reporting across all our social platforms, including LinkedIn, X, and Substack.
Who you are
We're looking for a producer who understands that for Stripe, reach is secondary to resonance. You're extremely online, and you have an intuitive feel for what drives attention. But you're also intellectually curious, fluent in the worlds of technology and economics, and have a strong editorial point of view about what makes content truly valuable, not just viral. You're paranoid about avoiding the malaise of undifferentiated corporate content and have a knack for surfacing the substantive insight in any discussion.
Minimum requirements
3+ years experience in video editing with a portfolio of short-form content that showcases an ability to distill complex ideas into concise, compelling narratives.
Proficiency with tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar.
Excellent editorial judgment; a "good nose" for the moments, quotes, and ideas that will resonate specifically with founders, developers, and economic thinkers.
Experience managing creative projects, including commissioning work from external animators, motion designers, and agencies who meet a high bar for quality.
Deep, hands-on experience managing and growing a YouTube channel and/or Instagram account for a brand that serves a sophisticated, smart audience.
Preferred qualifications
Experience with AI video workflows (e.g., Descript, OpusClip, CapCut, Runway)
The ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, translating complex internal discussions into clear, engaging public-facing content.
A strong understanding of YouTube SEO and platform algorithms, and how to leverage them to connect substantive content with the right people.

News Snappr is the one-stop-shop for visual content for brands, including the largest on-demand marketplace for photographers and videographers. Snappr News is a new product line: an editorial photo and video product launching in 2026, starting with technology news in the San Francisco Bay Area. We will cover the top tech stories of the day with stunning visuals that can't be found anywhere else. You'll play a leading role in shaping the product and business model from the ground up, and helping define how the world gets visuals for the moments that matter. This is our first ever internship position for this product.
The Role
You'll work alongside the Snappr News team to cover broad tech news and tech's impact across San Francisco and the Bay Area: companies, founders, workers, money, culture, policy, and the on-the-ground moments that explain what's actually happening - beyond the press releases.
This is a photo and video capture internship. You won't need to edit - we have a whole backend platform for that!
You'll get a front seat view of the early days of a new product at a fast growing technology startup!

* Tag and package everything correctly in the proprietary Snappr News app: keywords, locations, people/companies, and legal information.
* Operate according to photojournalistic ethics and standards.
* Receive coaching from experienced photographers.

* Strong photographic portfolio (street photography is a good proxy if you don't have experience in photojournalism specifically).
* Solid video shooting skills.
* Extreme attention to detail.
* Charismatic and love meeting new people.
* Calm under pressure.
* Patient.

* Studying a relevant field at a local university (preference to Bekeley and Stanford).

You're a brand fanatic and unabashed word nerd; an expert at short form copywriting, with a keen ability to distill a few sentences down to four or five provocative, hard-hitting words--truly saying more with less.

You'll tell HPE's brand story across a variety of media, including but not limited to advertising, infographics, video scripts and live events.

Responsibilities:
* Conceptualize and author creative copy across a variety of media/channels, with specific focus on short- and medium-form copy (e.g., headline, body copy, video scripts)
* Keenly understand business and marketing priorities and be able to translate this understanding into effective messaging and consistently compelling brand voice; Help guide both internal teams and external agencies to do the same
* Perform light copy editing, making everything you touch better and strategically on target
* Manage a large body of work in a fast-paced, highly matrixed team environment
* Work collaboratively; we're looking for people who love working in teams and whom others want on their teams
Qualifications:
* 10+ years of experience in creative, marketing, or communications writing, preferably in an in-house or agency environment
* Experience working effectively with a creative team of designers, copywriters, art directors, creative directors, etc.
* Detail oriented with a low/no tolerance for spelling and grammatical errors
* A solid portfolio of copy that demonstrates short form brand and campaign writing is a must
In this role, you will be a vital member of the team - brainstorming, coordinating, and collaborating frequently to bring to life HPE's most compelling narratives and marketing initiatives. You'll craft messaging that meets the requirements outlined in creative briefs while working closely with creative teams across the marketing organization.
If you've read this far and think you're a good fit, we'd love to hear from you!

Summer Intern, Medical Writing
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals 4.6
Journalist internship job in San Diego, CA
Job Description
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARWR) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead's RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing.
Arrowhead is focused on developing innovative drugs for diseases with a genetic basis, typically characterized by the overproduction of one or more proteins that are involved with disease. The depth and versatility of our RNAi technologies enables us to potentially address conditions in virtually any therapeutic area and pursue disease targets that are not otherwise addressable by small molecules and biologics. Arrowhead is leading the field in bringing the promise of RNAi to address diseases outside of the liver, and our clinical pipeline includes disease targets in the liver and lung with a promising pipeline of preclinical candidates.
Arrowhead's corporate headquarters is in Pasadena, CA with research and development teams in Madison, WI & San Diego, CA, and a state of the art manufacturing facility in Verona, WI.
