About the Role

We are looking for an Influencer Research & Vetting Intern to support our team on a global financial services client. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys research, analysis, and social media intelligence rather than content creation.

You will help identify, assess and vet influencers to ensure they are the right fit for campaigns while maintaining the highest standards of brand safety and compliance. Working alongside experienced influencer marketing specialists, you'll develop expertise in influencer research, risk assessment, and emerging AI-powered research tools.

What You'll Do

• Perform detailed influencer vetting, including authenticity, audience quality, engagement and credibility analysis.
• Assess creators for brand safety, reputation and potential risks, particularly for highly regulated industries.
• Review previous brand collaborations and online presence to identify potential concerns.
• Support influencer sourcing recommendations through qualitative and quantitative research.
• Prepare research reports, summaries and presentations for internal teams and clients.
• Stay up to date with social media trends, creator landscape developments and AI-powered research tools.
• Collaborate with the wider Influence team on ongoing projects.

What We're Looking For

• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree.
• Strong interest in influencer marketing, digital communications or social media research.
• Excellent analytical and research skills with strong attention to detail.
• Comfortable working independently and managing multiple research tasks.
• Curious, proactive and eager to learn.
• An open mindset and willingness to adopt new technologies, including AI tools.
• Previous internship in an agency or marketing environment is a plus, but not required.
• Experience working on financial services or regulated industries is a plus.

Languages

• Fluent French is required.
• Italian is highly desirable.
• Good working proficiency in English.

We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
