Who we are.  

Guardian Sports is a family-owned sports technology company that believes progress starts by challenging accepted standards. 
 
For more than 20 years, we’ve developed products trusted by the NFL, NCAA, CFL, and Premier Lacrosse League. Our products, including Guardian Cap, PEARL lacrosse balls, LOOP headgear, Guardian chinstraps, and bio-based turf infill, help protect more than 750,000 athletes annually. 
 
We combine deep expertise in material science with a relentless commitment to innovation, operating with the agility of a startup while partnering with the biggest organizations in sports. 
 
We’re looking for a Marketing Intern who wants more than a traditional internship. This is an opportunity to work directly on projects that drive growth, launch products, strengthen partnerships, and help shape the future of one of the fastest-growing brands in sports safety.  

What you’ll do.  

As a Marketing Intern at Guardian Sports, you won’t spend your summer sitting in meetings or watching from the sidelines. We’re a small team, which means you’ll be contributing to real projects that impact the business. 
 
You’ll work alongside marketing, creative, editorial, and leadership teams to help solve problems, launch initiatives, and improve how we operate. Some days you’ll be building content. Other days you’ll be researching opportunities, organizing complex projects, analyzing results, or finding ways to make our team smarter and more efficient. 
 
We’re looking for someone who combines strong organizational skills with strategic thinking and isn’t afraid to take ownership. 
 
At Guardian Sports, you’ll help tell the story of how innovation can improve athlete performance and safety, while gaining firsthand experience building a modern sports brand.

• Campaign execution: Help launch marketing campaigns across social media, email, partnerships, retail, and digital channels while managing timelines, assets, and project coordination. 
• Content and storytelling: Create and edit content for social media, email, web, and marketing materials that reflects the Guardian Sports brand and mission.  
  Project management and organization: Help maintain marketing calendars, campaign plans, asset organization, and cross-functional workflows to keep projects moving efficiently. 
• Partnership and market research: Research athletes, creators, teams, leagues, and brands to identify partnership opportunities and emerging trends. 
• Marketing analytics: Review campaign performance, identify insights, and help recommend improvements that drive measurable business results. 
• AI and process innovation: Build tools, workflows, knowledge systems, automations, and other AI-enabled solutions that help the marketing team move faster and operate more effectively.  

Who you are:  

• Enrolled in a college or university program, preferably focused on marketing, business, entrepreneurship, communications, sports management, or a related field 
• Highly organized and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously 
• Strong written and verbal communication skills 
• Self-motivated, resourceful, and comfortable working independently

• Have experience managing social media accounts, creating content, or supporting eCommerce initiatives 
• Have built custom GPTs, Claude Projects, automations, dashboards, research agents, or other AI-powered tools 
• Can demonstrate how you have used AI to improve a process, solve a problem, or create leverage beyond basic prompting  

Why this role is different:  

Most internships focus on exposure. This one focuses on contribution. 
 
Because we’re a lean team, you’ll be trusted with meaningful work that directly impacts campaigns, partnerships, product launches, and business growth. You’ll gain visibility into how decisions are made, how marketing drives revenue, and how great brands are built. 
 
By the end of the summer, you’ll be able to point to projects you owned, systems you improved, and results you helped create.
