The Strategic Partnerships Intern position is a part of our Roblox 12-week summer internship program located in San Mateo, CA. As a Strategic Partnerships intern, you will work alongside the Ads & Brands team to drive culturally relevant IP to Roblox for engagement and monetization.  The intern will work across our IP/Brand Integrations to ensure our goals and maximize platform opportunities: tracking relevant IP on platform, project managing integrations across IP and developers, and helping with pitches to IP and devs.

You Will:

• Use both qualitative and quantitative data to assess the impact of emerging trends, understanding their relevance to the target audience of brand partners.
• Build reports for how culture (e.g. Gen Z trends/interests) provides measurable value to the company. 
• Produce engaging content (newsletters, presentations, or infographics) to share your findings with internal and external stakeholders.
• Work with the brand partnerships, marketing, and communications teams to ensure trends are incorporated into business strategies and campaigns.

You Have:

• Required: Pursuing an undergraduate/graduate degree in communications, business, marketing, sociology, or a related field. Internship eligibility is dependent on students returning to school for at least one semester after the internship.
• Strong cultural literacy and expertise in Gen Z affinities across multiple verticals (music, fashion, entertainment, tech, gaming, etc.). 
• A solid understanding of both traditional and digital media landscapes including gaming and immersive platforms. Roblox-specific expertise is a plus. 
• Proficiency in parsing consumer data and extracting actionable insights. SQL knowledge is a plus.
• Experience applying creativity and passion for understanding culture in a professional or academic context.
• Excellent research, analytical, and communication skills, both written and verbal.
