Walker Sands is one of the fastest-growing integrated B2B marketing agencies in the world. We are looking for a high-impact PR Intern to help fuel that continued growth. Compensation for this role is expected to be $18 per hour.

As an agency, we exist to accelerate growth—for our clients, our people, and the B2B industry. We partner with B2B technology and services companies, from high-growth Silicon Valley businesses to global Fortune 500 brands, to drive meaningful business results. At Walker Sands, curiosity sparks new ideas, collaboration makes the work stronger, and people are at the center of everything we do.
