United States onlyAbout Thrive
Thrive is a fast-growing software company based in Philadelphia with about half of its employees distributed throughout the US. Our mission is to make hiring for executive leadership positions easier, faster, and more equitable. Thrive’s clients include some of the world’s largest search firms, venture capital/private equity firms, and corporate executive recruitment teams.
Executive hiring is unlike typical staffing and recruiting. Most executives are passive candidates, meaning they don't apply for positions. They are commonly found through well-maintained networks and relationships. Unfortunately, most popular recruiting tools and CRMs don’t work well for this use case. Enter Thrive, purpose-built software for executive recruiting and leadership talent management. We are aggressively investing in building disruptive solutions that help talent professionals find the best leaders, build curated talent networks, and place executives.
Thrive was born out of True, one of the fastest-growing organizations in the talent advisory space.
True is a global platform of companies that optimizes value creation by placing executive talent, developing business leaders, creating diverse and inclusive networks, and using innovative technology to advance executive talent priorities. With offices in North America, EMEA, & APAC, True’s team of industry and functional experts leverage their deep networks to connect companies with leading talent to transform businesses and industries.
This is a full-time position remote (Hybrid available in Los Angeles, CA & Philadelphia, PA) position. You may choose to work in our office or work remotely from a home office, but you must be authorized to work in the U.S. and operate a normal 8 hour working day between the hours of 8am and 8pm EST.
Duration: 6 Months
Thrive TRM’s Co-Op Program
Thrive TRM is the executive search software powering 30,000+ leadership hires a year through cutting-edge talent data analysis. Unlike a standard, short-term internship, a co-op is an immersive, 6-month sprint where you operate as a fully integrated member of the team. You aren't just shadowing—you are owning real projects, building real tools, and driving measurable business impact from day one.
The Role
Want to build the future of Go-To-Market (GTM)? We’re looking for a highly ambitious Growth Marketing & AI Intern to help us scale our revenue engine.
You will be acting as an internal builder and growth strategist—researching high-value audiences, building automated AI workflows from scratch, and architecting the technical demos our sales team uses to close deals.
We are looking for a technically adept builder. You should have hands-on experience crafting complex workflow automations, integrating APIs, and leveraging modern tools like n8n, Clay, Claude Code, or similar platforms.
If you are curious about marketing and love stringing together data and AI models to solve complex business problems, this is the role for you.

Who You Are and What You’ll Learn
- A Technical self-starter comfortable with a high degree of agency. You have a bias for action and the technical chops to back it up. You don't wait for instructions—you ideate, flag roadblocks quickly, bring solutions, and are comfortable deep-diving into tools like n8n and Clay to get the job done.
- You will leave this 6-month co-op with hands-on experience in AI orchestration, GTM strategy, technical sales engineering, and applied data analysis
