Job Description

Deadline to apply for KQED Internships is Friday May 16th, 2025. Please state which internship(s) you are applying for in your cover letter and apply to each one individually. 

This is a paid internship, working 16 hours per week from July 7th, 2025 through December 19th 2025. Current Salary is $19.18 per hour. 

The Marketing team at KQED is working to build a new generation of public media and KQED supporters, and the Paid Media Intern will be part of bringing this important mission to life. In this role, you will support the execution of paid advertising campaigns across platforms like Google Ads, Meta, and CTV. You’ll also assist with campaign strategy, optimization, and reporting, helping us reach new and younger audiences. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in digital media while contributing to a mission-driven organization.

We are looking for a diverse set of candidates from around the region for this position. In your cover letter please tell us what issues or places in the Bay Area you’d like to report on.

One of our core values at KQED is that we are better together, and that we commit to learning, growth, and holding ourselves accountable. We value the contributions of marginalized people in society — including Black, Indigenous, and all people of color, people with disabilities and LGBTQIA+ people — and we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, and we strongly encourage members of these communities to apply.

KQED envisions a public media organization with a culture that centers on human dignity, equity, and belonging. This will enable us to better serve and reflect the Bay Area through diverse and inclusive storytelling. 

The mission that drives us:
KQED provide citizens of Northern California with a community-supported alternative to commercial media. We provide citizens with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions; convene community dialogue; bring the arts to everyone and engage audiences to share their stories. We help students and teachers thrive in 21st-century classrooms, and take people of all ages on journeys of exploration- exposing them to new people, places and ideas.
This role requires working in KQED's newly renovated headquarters and working in the field. KQED requires employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Essential Functions:
  • Assist the Marketing Manager with the execution of KQED’s owned and earned digital channels (e.g. Google Grants via Google Ads, house ads on KQED.org)
  • Assist the Marketing Manager with building and executing creative paid advertising campaigns across platforms (e.g. Meta, Google Ads, CTV)
  • Conduct regular research on digital marketing trends and paid media best practices
  • Help identify opportunities to optimize paid marketing campaigns and test new tactics
  • Support reporting needs by pulling campaign performance data from platforms like Google Analytics
  • Document paid media processes and help build standard operating procedures, templates, and playbooks
  • Support Marketing team in day-to-day tasks related to paid campaign execution
  • Help track deliverables and campaign deadlines
  • Perform other duties as assigned

Knowledge/Experience:

  • Proficiency in G-Suite
  • Strong communication and organizational skills
  • Detail-oriented and analytical
  • Experience in paid advertising strategies and platforms
  • Interest in data-driven decision-making
  • Curiosity and growth mindset
  • Pursuing a degree in Marketing, Advertising, Business, Economics, or a related field — or equivalent work experience.
  • Experience using paid media platforms for advertising (Meta ads, Google Ads, etc)
  • Interest in nonprofit or public media marketing
  • Experience with campaign reporting or data visualization (e.g. Google Analytics 4, Excel, Google Sheets)
