About us
Pirates of Paradise is a sailing company that offers adventure and unforgettable experiences on our sailing Trips for young people across Europe.
At the same time, we’re building a modern travel brand with a strong focus on community, storytelling and digital growth. We’re a small but ambitious team, and we work fast, take ownership and are always testing new ideas to grow our brand internationally.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a highly motivated intern (F/M/D) in the final phase of their studies who wants to gain hands-on experience in strategic marketing and brand building.
This is not a purely operational role focused on SEO/SEA execution. Instead, you will work closely with us on marketing strategy, campaign development and content concepts, while also supporting selected performance marketing activities.
You will take part in shaping how we position our brand, approach new target groups and develop creative campaigns across different channels.
This role is fully remote and requires a high level of self-organization and ownership.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to the development of our marketing and brand strategy
- Support the planning and execution of marketing campaigns (EN & DE)
- Conduct market, competitor and target group research
- Assist with SEO & SEA from a strategic perspective (keyword research, content structure, funnel thinking)
- Analyze and improve website content (focus on content, messaging and concepts – not technical implementation)
- Create and design social media content (e.g. with Canva)
- Develop new campaign ideas, formats and growth approaches
- Collaborate closely with the team and proactively take ownership of projects
Requirements
- Student in business, marketing, communication or a related field (final semesters preferred)
- Strong English and German skills (written and spoken)
- Analytical and strategic thinking ability
- Interest in marketing strategy, branding and growth
- Basic understanding of SEO/SEA and digital marketing
- Creative mindset and a good feel for content and target groups
- Highly self-organized, reliable and proactive working style
- Ability to work independently in a remote setup
- Motivation to take ownership and go beyond purely operational tasks
What we offer
- Real involvement in strategic marketing decisions and brand building
- A steep learning curve through ownership and responsibility
- Direct collaboration with the founding team
- Flexible, fully remote work setup
- The opportunity to develop skills relevant for careers in consulting, marketing or startups
- A young, ambitious and supportive team with flat hierarchies
- The chance to join our sailing Trips and become part of the Pirates of Paradise experience
Compensation
This is an unpaid internship, as we are currently investing our resources primarily in growing our product and brand.
We are looking for candidates who are motivated by learning, ownership and real-world experience, and who want to build a strong foundation for their future career.
In return, we offer hands-on involvement in strategic projects and the opportunity to gain meaningful, practical experience beyond typical internships.
Application
If you’re excited to gain hands-on experience in strategic marketing and help build an international brand, we’d love to hear from you.
Please send your CV and a short motivation letter (in German or English) to: jobs@pirates-of-paradise.com.
Feel free to also share why you believe you’re a strong fit for this role and what kind of responsibility you would like to take on.
We look forward to hearing from you!
