2027 Brand Marketing Intern

ABOUT THE JOB

Anduril is defining the future of defense, and we're looking for a Brand Marketing Intern to help shape how our mission and technology are understood by the world. Deterrence depends on advanced technology most Americans never have to think about. It also depends on the ability to recruit talent to build those capabilities at hyperscale. That's the problem this team works on every day, and it's the problem you'll work on with us.

You'll contribute to a portfolio that spans a global brand campaign in service of Rebuilding the Arsenal, recruitment marketing behind one of the most ambitious manufacturing hiring efforts in modern American industry, engagement with the veteran community that has shaped our workforce, and brand partnerships that introduce Anduril's technology to audiences who have never thought twice about defense.

This is a hands-on role, ideal for a rising college senior who sees brand not as a tactic but as a lever for outsized impact. Part storyteller, part operator, you'll help shape the thinking and then carry it through to execution. You're creative, sharp, organized, and collaborative, with a nose for great ideas, a strong POV, and a can-do attitude where no job is too big or too small. You thrive in ambiguity, bias toward action, and are genuinely energized by the mission.

This 12-week summer internship will be in person in Costa Mesa, CA.
