We are looking for an Marketing Intern local to the Atlanta area that can come into the office on a hybrid basis.
Why ACI — And Why Now
ACI is on a mission to build something that actually matters. Our work touches lives across industries and geographies, and every person who joins us is part of making that mission real. We don't just hire talent — we invest in it.
Right now, we're building the future of how we attract, engage, and welcome extraordinary people into our organization globally. We're looking for a creative, curious, digitally-native marketing intern who will help us amplify the ACI story — and shape it.
This role sits inside our Global Talent Acquisition team, partnering directly with HR and People leaders to elevate our employer brand. You'll experiment with AI tools, create content that moves people, and help us become a destination employer for the next generation of talent.
What You'll Actually Do
Brand & Content Creation
- Develop compelling content for LinkedIn, Instagram, Glassdoor, and other channels that brings the ACI employee experience to life
- Create candidate-facing assets: job description templates, career site copy, social posts, digital campaigns, and short-form video scripts
- Collaborate with employees across the globe to capture authentic stories, testimonials, and "day in the life" moments
- Ensure brand voice and visual identity are consistent, fresh, and relevant to diverse global audiences
AI Tools & Innovation
- Pilot and evaluate AI tools including Microsoft Co-Pilot and Claude to enhance marketing reach, content quality, and speed-to-publish
- Explore AI-assisted job description refinement — helping make our JDs more engaging, and searchable
- Experiment with AI-powered candidate sourcing strategies and report back on what's working
- Document learnings and build a playbook so ACI can scale AI-assisted TA marketing across our global teams
Research & Insights
- Benchmark ACI's employer brand against industry leaders and emerging-talent competitors
- Track key metrics: engagement, reach, application conversion, candidate sentiment — and translate data into action
- Conduct candidate persona research to inform messaging for different talent segments globally, starting in the U.S.
Global Collaboration
- Partner with TA teams across regions to gather content, tailor campaigns, and ensure local relevance
- Coordinate with communications, total rewards, and marketing teams to align employer brand with broader ACI strategy
- Present findings and recommendations to HR and Talent Acquisition leadership
What We're Looking For
We're not checking boxes — we're looking for someone who is genuinely excited about the intersection of storytelling, technology, and people.
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Marketing, Communications, HR, Business, or a related field
- A natural storyteller — you know how to turn "we have great culture" into content that people actually connect with
- Comfortable experimenting with AI tools and not afraid to share honest feedback on what works and what doesn't
- Strong writing skills across formats — long-form, short-form, social, and everything in between
- Curious about talent, employer branding, and what makes people choose where they work
- Self-starter who takes ownership and doesn't wait to be told what to do
- Collaborative, globally-minded, and respectful of diverse perspectives
- Bonus: experience with Canva, Adobe Suite, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, or any AI writing/creative tools
