Join us!
We’re a fast-growing online publication dedicated to being a voice for women in the footwear space. We are SneakHER Culture. We've worked with brands (Nike, Reebok, Bud Light, Vice, Puma, and more) to bring more inclusion and showcase sneakers in a way that appeals to both the novice collector and the seasoned sneakerhead. We’re setting a new standard as these brands market to women and we need excited, hardworking, kickass interns to help us grow. Is that you?
Interns will work directly with the Founder and Senior Editors and will be exposed to what it’s like to run an emerging platform. This is a hands-on experience, so expect to assist with all aspects of the business. You won't be running out for coffee, cool? As a scrappy young company, we need motivated individuals who are ready to invest their time into something that is greater than themselves. If you love sneakers, streetwear, cozy chic, or all of the above, check out our current openings and apply!
