As an intern on the Newsletters Desk, you will find that everything you do matters real work, real responsibilities, your mark on everything that crosses your desk. It s why all our internships are paid, full-time positions.
You will find that you are in our sunlight-filled, spacious office in Bengaluru because that s where the action is. It s where your team is. It s where the brainstorming happens. It s where you can make the biggest impact on the newsletters we publish.
And most importantly, you will find that every internship is an audition for a permanent role in our growing team. We d be happiest if, at the end of your three-month internship, or perhaps even during the course of it, we could welcome you into the fold as a full-fledged employee of The Ken . In fact, some of our most important roles across teams are performed by people who started as interns.
In short, if you ve just graduated college in the last year or two, an internship is the best way to make it into our permanent roster.
As an intern on our Newsletters Desk, you will:
Edit and rewrite drafts to ensure they meet our high standards for language, clarity, and narrative chops, including issues of our most popular properties such as The Nutgraf , Long and Short , Trade Tricks, and First Principles .
Work with our editors and writers on the conceptualisation and launch of all new newsletter projects and features.
Get the opportunity to learn storytelling from some of the best business journalists in the country.
The ideal candidate
This is an editorial role on the Newsletters Desk, which makes a strong, comfortable grasp of the English language a prerequisite in both its formal and casual forms.
Thus, the interview and assessment process, for the most part, will test whether your English proficiency meets our high, uncompromising standards.
The ideal candidate will also have completed college no more than a year or two ago.
And finally, since we are a business journalism and subscription organisation, an active interest in those areas will be an advantage.
