Marketing Intern

What we're building

Our vision is to electrify all waterborne vessels, and we're starting with electric water sport boats.

Gas boats dominate today’s marine industry not because of great product offerings, but because of a lack of better alternatives. Boaters have grown accustomed to vehicles that feel stuck in the 1980s—unreliable, expensive, loud, noxious, and a nightmare to own and operate. They’re also awful for the water and air they reside in.

By contrast, electric boats are superior in nearly every way: they’re more reliable, less costly to operate, quieter, quicker, and cleaner, with no fumes or pollutants. However, they’ve been held back by both the technology and the talent required to make them truly competitive with gas alternatives. That’s Arc’s opportunity.

Using modern aerospace- and automotive-inspired techniques, we’re building our hulls, batteries, cooling systems, firmware, and software together to deliver the next generation of watercraft.

Who we're looking for

We’re looking for someone who is excited by our vision, eager for a challenge, and ready to learn on the job. We pride ourselves on transparency and operate in a lean, high-trust environment that encourages everyone to take ownership of their domain.

You will be a full-time member of our Marketing team and will work from our manufacturing facility in Torrance, CA. As a startup we move quickly and adapt often, so flexibility is key. That said, here are some responsibilities and qualifications we expect to remain relatively constant in this role:

Core responsibilities

• Driving and executing marketing initiatives aligned with your interests and Arc’s business priorities—such as merchandise projects, content shoots, market research, and more.
• Supporting key marketing initiatives, working cross-functionally with the team on campaigns, content creation, and growth.
• Analyzing marketing performance, gathering insights from campaigns and consumer behavior to optimize our efforts.
• Conducting market research to help the team stay on top of industry trends, competitor activity, and customer insights.
• Participating in brainstorming sessions, contributing fresh ideas for how to build Arc’s brand and reach new audiences.

Basic qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a college or graduate program, preferably in Marketing, Business, Communications, or a related field.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Passion for marketing, storytelling, and brand building.
• A proactive, self-starting mindset with a willingness to learn and take ownership.
• Basic understanding of social media platforms, content marketing, and digital marketing.

Bonus qualifications

• Experience with graphic design tools (e.g., Canva, Adobe Creative Suite).
• Experience with marketing platforms like HubSpot.
• Familiarity with analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, HubSpot Analytics).
• Previous internship or work experience in marketing.
• Enthusiasm for boating and clean energy.

At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You’re always welcome to reach out even if you don’t meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.

Our values

We value these five things above all else:

• Ownership over both your work and the company’s success
• Empathy for colleagues and customers
• Humility in problem solving and collaboration
• Pragmatism for navigating ambiguity quickly and sensibly
• Inclusion of different backgrounds, opinions, and cultures

Given that we work in a sometimes intense or stressful environment, it’s vital that our values align. We’d be happy to elaborate on any or all of these during the interview process.

What we offer

• Talented teammates who challenge you to be better
• Access and often input into a wide range of business activities
• An hourly wage of  $30.00
• An opportunity to have an outsized impact on industry-defining vehicles
• The ability to drive positive environmental change through your work
• Daily lunches, plenty of snacks, lots of swag—and more
• Boat rides!

Hope to hear from you soon!
