Marketing Intern – Digital Growth & Brand Strategy (Hybrid – Vancouver)

Vancouver, BC, Canada

Internship

Entry Level

Company Overview

Pearl West is a portfolio of high-growth consumer brands built for performance and scale. We own and operate multiple eCommerce-first businesses across wellness, supplements, skincare, and lifestyle—with over $40M+ in annual run-rate revenue. Our brands sell across Amazon, TikTok Shops, and Shopify, scaling rapidly using a centralized, operator-led model.

We’re not just a marketing company. We build, scale, and exit brands like startups—with the capital and playbooks of private equity. Our culture is fast-paced, flat, and focused on execution. If you’re eager to learn, grow, and make a real impact, this is the place for you.

Role Overview

We’re seeking a Marketing Intern ready to dive into hands-on digital marketing and brand growth. You’ll collaborate closely with growth, creative, and marketplace teams to learn how 7–8 figure CPG brands scale—from content testing and influencer outreach to full-funnel optimization.

This hybrid internship requires a minimum of 3 days per week onsite at our Vancouver HQ, where you’ll be surrounded by top performers and gain exposure to fast-moving eCommerce environments on Amazon, TikTok, and Shopify.

You won’t be running errands or watching from the sidelines — you’ll contribute directly to digital campaigns, content ideation, product launches, and performance analysis.

Key Responsibilities

Assist with digital campaigns across Amazon, TikTok Shops, Shopify, and other marketing channels including social media, email, SMS, and content marketing as needed.
Support copywriting projects and scriptwriting for marketing content.
Source ideas, spot trends, and organize creative assets to support content development.
Help coordinate influencer and user-generated content (UGC) outreach and asset collection.
Conduct competitive and market research to inform new product launches and campaigns.
Participate in growth team meetings, brainstorming sessions, and post-launch performance reviews.
Collaborate with creative and media teams to QA assets and campaigns.
Learn and contribute using tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, and Slack to support campaign execution.

Note: This role will involve varied tasks that may shift monthly depending on business needs, so flexibility is essential.

What You’ll Learn

How high-growth consumer brands scale in real time.
What makes content convert across TikTok, Amazon, and landing pages.
The foundations of paid media, funnel strategy, and influencer marketing.
How to think like a growth operator—not just a marketer.
How fast-moving teams collaborate to launch, test, and scale products.
