Overview:

LLR Partners is seeking a talented and motivated sophomore or junior undergraduate student to join our Marketing team for the 2022 Spring semester. The Marketing team is responsible for the LLR brand, public relations, the portfolio company community, and digital marketing in support of generating new investment opportunities for the firm and nurturing relationships with companies in our pipeline. Marketing efforts supported by this internship will help position LLR as the investor of choice for exciting, growing companies looking to raise capital.

This is an ideal position for students interested in sales and marketing, and who can bring both a creative and analytical mindset to the role. This is not a position for someone looking to grow into a career as a private equity investment professional.

We are in the Cira Centre, adjacent to Amtrak 30th Street Station and regional train lines, and walkable to both University City and Center City.

The Marketing intern will support execution of LLR’s digital marketing initiatives to help grow the firm’s reach, measure engagement and impact.
