Marketing Intern, Trade

Wip, New York, NY, United States


Wip™ is building the next generation of energy. We create energy pouches and modern energy products designed for performance, consistency, and portability, built for how people actually live and work without the drawbacks of traditional formats. We are building a brand with edge. Confident, modern, and culturally fluent. A brand that respects performance but does not take itself too seriously. Designed to stand out on shelf, in hand, and in real life, and to feel as good as it performs. OUR OPPORTUNITY The $190B+ U.S. caffeine market is dominated by legacy players and outdated habits. Consumer behavior has changed, but formats have not. Wip exists to lead that shift through smarter formats, cleaner formulations, and disciplined execution. Our pouch-based products deliver premium, functional ingredients in a format that’s easier to use, more portable, and more cost-effective than traditional options. OUR TEAM We’re a high-ownership team. People here own meaningful work end-to-end, see it ship into the real world, and can point to what they’ve built. We’re early, which gives us the opportunity to deliberately build both the team and how we work together, in real time. The work is fast-moving and hands-on, and we care about getting the details right. Some weeks are heavier than others, but the upside is real responsibility, clear impact, and an opportunity to be a foundational partner in our success.
