    ● Helping Mal deep clean the Airstream after elopements

    Elopement Expierences

  • This is a unique opportunity for the right creative who is excited about the outdoors, camping, and adventure. Here are a few qualities that the intern must be capable of to be considered.

    Creative Marketing Videos
    Video content is huge for this position. Collaborating with Mal to create engaging video content on multiple platforms is key for the growth we are moving towards.

    Living on the Road
    This lifestyle is not for all but it is ESSENTIAL for this internship. We move by the season and you will be required to attend ALL bookings from April 1 - Nov 1 of 2023. We travel mostly between AZ, UT, OR, and CO. You will need reliable transportation and a vehicle that enables you to live on the road at your comfort level for about 15 days of each month in these regions.

    So much of this role is embedded in communication. Being able to communicate and coordinate between vendors, Mal, and customers is the most important role of this position.

  • Fieldwork varies and is Seasonal
    Depending on the season, one month may be heavier than the other in either direction- thus it’s rather unpredictable and Intern must be up for the flexibility.
