Content Marketing & Podcast Intern (Sonoma)
Finrep AI, Sonoma, CA, United States
About Finrep
Finrep builds AI-powered tools for SEC financial reporting teams at public companies. Our users are technical accountants, SEC reporting leads, legal counsel, and investor relations professionals. They work inside 10-K and 10-Q filing cycles, interpret ASC guidance, respond to SEC comment letters, and benchmark disclosures against peers.
We are backed by Accel and currently run pilot programs with several public companies. The team is small, moves fast, and operates with high standards for domain credibility.
The Role We are looking for a Content and Podcast Intern who will own the creation, production, and distribution of a domain-focused podcast and broader content program targeting SEC reporting and financial disclosure professionals in the United States. This is not a generic marketing internship. The person in this role will actively network with CFOs, Chief Accounting Officers, SEC reporting directors, Big 4 partners, legal counsel, and technical accounting leads. They will cold-outreach to these professionals, build real relationships, invite them as podcast guests, and host substantive conversations. The podcast is the vehicle. The real job is getting Finrep in front of the people who make disclosure decisions at public companies. Beyond the podcast, this role extends into content strategy, community building, and multi-format content creation (LinkedIn, short-form video, written pieces). The podcast is the anchor, but the content ecosystem around it is equally important. This is a startup. Speed matters. Shipping matters. You will not have a 6-person production team or a 3-week lead time. You will figure things out, move fast, and improve as you go.
