Job Description

Healthcare is complex. Marketing it well is even harder.

Unlock Health’s Summer Internship Program is built for people who are curious enough to lean into that complexity — and creative enough to help simplify it.

You’ll work on real client projects alongside experienced strategists, creatives, analysts, and many more talented individuals. You’ll see how brand, data, technology, and revenue strategy come together to help healthcare organizations connect people to care.

We’re looking for motivated, thoughtful individuals who are energized by healthcare, marketing, digital innovation, and data-driven decision-making. People who ask smart questions. People who aren’t afraid to speak up. People who want their work to matter.

If that excites you, you’ll fit right in.

You’re analytical and creative — comfortable asking smart questions and eager to understand how enterprise healthcare organizations evaluate partners and are passionate about driving growth. You’re proactive, organized, and detail-oriented, with a desire to contribute meaningfully to real client-facing work. This role is ideal for someone who wants hands-on exposure to strategy, sales, and marketing in a fast-paced, mission-driven agency environment.

  • Participate in a cohort-based intern project, presenting insights and recommendations to internal leadership

Ideal Qualifications:

  • Recent or upcoming May 2026 college graduates or rising seniors
  • Students pursuing degrees in Marketing, Communications, Business, Data Science, Computer Science, or related fields
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment
  • Analytical and problem-solving abilities
  • Eagerness to learn and adapt to new challenges in the healthcare marketing industry

Program Details:
