What are the responsibilities and job description for the VSC Influence Fellowship position at VSC?
Who we are
For the past 18 years, VSC has been the brand and storytelling engine behind brands like Molekule, Poshmark, Sequoia Capital, Softbank, Tile, Osmo, Pax, and Samasource.
Our work has contributed to over $48bn in value and exits and 100 industry awards.
What is the VSC Tech Comms Fellowship?
As communications professionals, we have the opportunity to influence culture through storytelling.
Unfortunately, our industry’s workforce doesn’t reflect the voices and faces of said culture.
We need more diversity in communications, and this is a way for you to get into the game, a game that most people don’t know about, don’t understand, and can’t access.
The VSC Influence Fellowship is an internship combined with special guest learning sessions to gain access, networks, and knowledge of the world of technology communications and learn the power of influence.
You will partner with the VSC team on real-world strategies and have results to show on your resume. At completion, you will work on a deliverable to help build a knowledge base for future fellows.
